• Maria from Poland (10/10)

  The photos and description do not reflect the beauty of this place. From the room, from the garden, from the swimming pool – there are wonderful, breathtaking views – of the nature typical of Tuscany, of the atmospheric town Montemassi on the hill. Cicadas, a swimming pool to cool off, comfortable rooms (on the ground floor) arranged so that nothing is missing, two doors with mosquito nets, one from the front, the other from the garden, tables in front of each entrance, deckchairs, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bathroom cabinet, fridge, air conditioning and everything decorated in a modern and tasteful manner. Delicious breakfasts prepared on request by the lovely owner, Daniele. The whole family running the agritourism business is very nice.
  For me, the most beautiful place of all in Tuscany and Sicily that I have been to so far. Thank you, we will definitely come back.

• Mark from Australia (9/10)

  We had booked the property to stay with extended family for a nearby wedding. The owner of the property, Daniela, could not have been more helpful. A real simple stay, with comfortable pillows and mattress. Breakfast each morning was simple. On our last night, Daniela prepared a Tuscan feast for us!!! Again simple, but so tasty and filling. While there try the Vermintino and Cabernet Sauvignon from the properties vines. Could not have been happier

• Carla from Australia (8/10)

  Lovely place ran by great people

• Sabina from Saudi Arabia (10/10)

  I can just tell it was AMAZING. We were said that we only booked one night. Definately we will come back!!

• Barker-mills from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Location was peaceful and with great views across the property's vineyard in one direction and up to a hilltop town in the other. The villa was simple but equipped with all you need apart from shower gel- a very minor thing. The owner was lovely and did all she could to make our stay enjoyable- tailoring breakfast to our needs and proving two exceptionally good evening meals with her own local wine on request- which were excellent value for money. We arrived on a Sunday late afternoon and she provided us with information on where to eat and was even prepared to cook us some pasta at short notice. We initially approached from the direction of Ribolla and missed the entrance track on our left which is very easily done but coming the other way you can see the sign. As a base for exploring the small towns and countryside it is ideal, with a local supermarket in Ribolla for those evenings you want to cater for yourself. Loved it.

• Doctorann from Ukraine (8/10)

  + Incredible location surrounded by vineyards and overlooking a town on top of the hill.
  + Big spacious room and bathroom, there are mosquito nets and window shutters on both entrances.
  + Super comfortable bed and pillows, I had the best sleep in all of my trip.
  + Nice water pressure and temperature in the shower, soft towels.
  + Friendly and welcoming hosts.
  + Nice Italian breakfast with daily fresh pastry and coffee (no pancakes in 3 days as was stated in the description). The host insisted on having breakfast before we leave very early in the morning, it was a nice gesture.
  + We were able to charge our fully electric car overnight.
