Tuscany Villa with private pool and jacuzzi for Honeymoon and summer holiday Reviews

We all had a wonderful holiday. The villa was lovely and so well equipped. The garden, hot tub and especially the pool were amazing!! Gina and Franco were so kind to bring us wonderful treats during the stay and left a very generous welcome basket. Absolutely fantastic place for a holiday. We hope to return one day!

Our expectations were surpassed. The villa is spotless, the location is so peaceful, the pool is wonderful and the hosts kind and attentive. There is nothing not to love. The pool is 1.4m deep and was the perfect temperature (end of August), it is bigger than it looks and crystal clear without the chemical smell. In the afternoon you are treated to a display of birds swooping down and drinking / collecting bugs from the surface of the water. We made use of the hot tub a few times, but preferred just sitting on the patio and playing cards in the evening watching the amazing sunset. There were a few mosquitos as you'd expect, but all the windows had nets so they didn't bother us at night. Despite the hot weather the house was cool and we had no problems sleeping. The villa has a long private drive and feels totally safe without being isolated, the village of Montecastelli Pisano just a ten minute walk away, although it is up quite a steep hill. The views from the village are beautiful and the restaurant was great - the owners spoke English and the food and wine very reasonably priced. The co-op in Pomarance is fairly well stocked, but also fairly expensive - unless you head to Siena there didn't seem to be any alternatives. If you're driving fuel prices are the highest we had seen anywhere, in some cases 30c more than in the north of Tuscany. We did a day trip to Siena, parked at the station and walked in. We also went to Volterra (the roads are quite steep), parking there was difficult so best to go early in high season. Other than that we didn't want to leave the Villa except for essentials. As everyone has mentioned Gina and Franco are so lovely, we were treated to Tiramisu (AMAZING), cake, eggs and figs from the garden. They always came early to attend to the pool and garden and we rarely saw them because we slept so well. The beds were really comfortable. I can't recommend staying highly enough and I am so glad I booked. I would definitely come again if we return to Tuscany. Thank you so much Gina and Franco

Without doubt the best experience to date; the owners are outstandingly good at everything they do. Our arrival was delayed because of Avis Car Hire- we should have arrived around 20.00, but were still in Pisa waiting far a car at that time- the owners waited an extra 2 hours for us to arrive. Each day, they came to the villa to clean the pool, remove and replace rubbish sacks, and did so very in-obtrusively; they left little notes with a present- Pana cota, eggs, a dessert, all home made. Wonderful experience.

We all agree this was the most relaxing holiday ever! After a pain free drive from Pisa through the beautiful Tuscan countryside we arrived at Montecastelli. The villa was instantly recognisable as we approached. We were warmly greeted by the owners who showed us round our beautiful surroundings. The villa was very clean and very well equipped for us self catering. It is located in a wonderfully quiet area where we were joined by buzzards flying overhead in the day and the sound of owls in the evening. The pool and hot tub are wonderful! Pool is around 3 feet or so deep and our 10 year old could stand easily. It is also gated for those with young families. We spent one day out in Siena but opted to relax for the remainder of the time. The villa provided the perfect surroundings for this. A well stocked shop is about 10 to 15 minutes away. Gina kindly left a very generous hamper on our arrival and dropped of some fabulous treats through the week. Your pane cotta will be long remembered as being amazing! Thank you for a wonderful time in beautiful Italy. We will be back I’m sure.

From the amazing sunsets, the clean, airy villa, the fantastic views - this was an excellent place to stay. The swimming pool was lovely as was the jacuzzi. Gina and Gianfranco did everything to make our stay lovely and we were given a wonderful cake, tiramisu and plum tart - all homemade! We will be back!

Very well looked after by the owners. Wonderful views from the house and garden. Even the lighting on the ancient castle and geothermal towers across the valley add to the nighttime atmosphere. If you like walking, there are rugged paths from the house into the woods and the Pavone valley which is an idyllic place. And quite a lot of others around and about. We never saw wild boar, but often heard them and saw lots of their tracks.

All the booking process was very easy and there were no hiccups. The property was as described. ...beautiful villa, lovely owners and amazing area of Italy. Thoroughly recommended.

Myself and my wife spent a week at Centopino as part of our honeymoon touring Italy and it was exactly what we needed. As soon as we booked communication with Gina and information has always been a pleasure. The photos actually do not do the Villa justice as the pool somehow is larger than it looks, the Villa is perfectly located to all major towns for sightseeing and close enough to small towns for lunches etc, not thay you will need them with the delicious basket and treats Gina leaves. The pdf gina provides gives all the information you will require but the private chef at the villa is for sure a tuscan culinary experience not to miss. We hope to return to the region one day and I am sure when we do we will be looking to stay here again.

The villa is in the most beautiful setting - better than the pictures, surrounded by rolling hills and an olive grove as well as being totally private! Watch the sunset over the Tuscan hills from the patio or jacuzzi and feed the wild boar... this villa is truly great for relaxation. The villa has a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of towels, as well as a bbq. The hosts were fabulous and checked in with us regularly, as well as providing some lovely treats throughout the week! We walked up to the local village which has 2 restaurants, there is also a coop supermarket 15 minutes drive away for supplies. Apprx 1 hour drive to the beautiful Sienna, plenty of things to do whilst here! Thank you Gina and Franco for a fabulous week and we hope to see you again :) :)

From the initial communication to our leaving, the hosts could do no more - they want a home from home experience and it is what you get - only in splendid scenery and sun. Like so many in their visitors book, we will be back
