Reviews

• Susann from Switzerland (10/10)

  Beautiful house, garden, pool area, room, great breakfast, all the perfect little details…. But the true gems are the owners – incredibly welcoming, attentive, helpful and friendly. We loved every minute of our stay!

• Labossiere from United States (9/10)

  Our host Andrea was extremely nice and went out of his way to help us out. Our travel was delayed due to a train strike and he spent time making calls to figure out what trains would still be running, changed his schedule to pick us up a day later when our train ultimately arrived, and helped us rent a car. He also let us stay an extra day at the end of our stay to make up for the day we missed at the beginning. He also gave us a ton of recommendations for places to see and restaurants to eat. Overall he was excellent.
  
  We loved the homemade breakfasts and local wine selection they had. The view from the pool is beautiful and was just what we were looking for in a relaxing stay in the countryside.

• Greg from United States (10/10)

  Andrea was a fabulous host and makes you feel right at home! He provides great resources from where to eat and what to see in the surrounding area. I highly recommend and the next time I visit Arezzo, I will be staying at Podere Fontanino!

• Brianna from United States (10/10)

  This stay was so beautiful and surpassed our expectations! The food was also delicious and our host was incredible helpful and kind.

• Chris from United States (10/10)

  Beautiful grounds, well maintained, great views, fantastic host!

• Anne-sophie from Spain (10/10)

  A 10 all around! From the friendly, attentive staff to the beautiful pool, the fabulous homemade breakfast and the cosy bedroom. We loved how "intimate" the place was, with only 4 rooms sharing this little corner of Tuscan paradise. Also appreciated was the great restaurant up the road, within walking distance for lazy days when we didn't feel like getting in the car -or wanted an extra glass of wine with dinner! Andrea and his family are full of little attentions to make our stay relaxing and practical. We would be back in a heartbeat.

• Hannah from Australia (10/10)

  The property is beyond beautiful! The rooms are just perfect and the hosts go above and beyond to make it the best stay. It’s a fantastic location to explore Tuscany and Arezzo is the most beautiful town.

• Sarah from Canada (10/10)

  Comfortable, relaxing, great space to get away from the overly touristy areas in Italy. You can tell the family puts their heart and soul into their work. Andrea and his wife are exceptional – very friendly, and helpful. Highly recommend!

• Kathryn from United States (10/10)

  Relaxing, comfortable atmosphere with all the amenities one needs.

• Lenura from Israel (10/10)

  The property had a sense of love about it. The property manager was brilliant and very on the ball with check in, explaining the accommodation, and the grounds were immaculate. Everything is well kept and super clean. Amazing home cooked breakfast…
  Especial thanks for Andrea for rescuing us with a broken car:)
  
  The pool and garden were very relaxing. The pool has an amazing view and is being cleaned every morning by the owner. It’s better than on the pictures
  Definitely would recommend and would stay again thank you!
