We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful villa with spectacular views! A perfect place to relax and unwind. The villa had everything we needed, a great pool and close to the local town. A perfect location to explore Tuscany and also spend lazy days. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, and it was lovely to receive the welcome pack and bottle of wine! We had a fabulous holiday and did not want to leave! Would highly recommend!

This property is all about the spectacular panoramic views you get: from the kitchen, the living room, bedrooms, to the pool: absolutely stunning views everywhere. Pool is large and well maintained, house is clean and has everything you need, wifi OK, airco in the living areas. But no airco in the bedrooms, which at almost 40° like we had all week, requires the sunshades to be left closed all day to keep the heat out. So if you want to wake up to that gorgeous view: remember to open them before going to sleep.
Access to the property by car can be challenging: very steep gravel road, even our SUV struggled to get up the road. The small town of Tavarnelle is only 1km away with a supermarket, restaurants, bakery, everything you need. Vespa rental also available there (a must!). Florence, Siena: all within 30min of driving. Abundance of vineyards and wine tasting in the region. The area is a bikers dream (but you better be in good shape, the hills are tasty).
Owner speaks english, is very friendly and helpful, you share the pool with them but they are very discreet, they only used it while we were out.
Only regret: we totally forgot about the olive oil and bottle of wine we received at arrival... I guess we'll have to come back one day to finally taste what they produce...
Beautifully kept accommodation with a stunning location and a most genial and helpful host “Stefano”. Nice welcome pack with the owners family wine and olive oil. Great recommendations for local restaurants and for best ways to visit Florence and Sienna. Perfect location to tour all around this region of Tuscany and take in the full historic experience. Definitely expect to return here again. Thanks Stefano!

Wonderful. We are certain to go back again in the next few years. The villa is outstanding and the perfect base for exploring Tuscany. Two sizeable bedrooms, large living spaces and well equipped kitchen, with the bonus of a large pool. And the views from every room and balcony and breathtaking. Our hosts were kind, friendly, helpful and we can’t recommend them enough.
We had an amazing stay at Casa Lucia. The views from the cottage are breathtaking and the pool was lovely. Stefano responded to all of our inquiries and helped us figure out where to go and ways to get there. The cottage is literally in the middle of Florence and Siena and we visited both places. The cottage was super clean and nicely furnished, it was the perfect space for the 3 of us. Stefano provided us with a welcome basket of snacks and his family’s wine which we really needed after a long day of travel and arriving late. Stefano also gave us a bottle of his family’s olive oil which we brought home and tried the other day and it is very good. It was a very relaxing place and quiet with the occasional rooster call from the valley below . If you have a chance to stay here do not hesitate! We will be coming back.

Casa Lucia is a little gem. 5*
The villa has an open plan living area with the most spectacular view over the family vineyard and valley looking towards San Gimignano. The air conditioning upstairs was very welcome while the bedrooms downstairs remained lovely and cool. The swimming pool is wonderful.
Stefano and his family were so welcoming and the family wine and beautiful olive oil were thoroughly enjoyed.
The villa is in the perfect location to explore this area of Tuscany.
Sightseeing: We visited San Gimignano, Volterra, Greve in Chianti & Castellina in Chianti. Pienza and Bagno Vignoni were also worth visiting . On Tuesday night in Tavernelle Val Di Pesa during the summer months all restaurants spill out into the street at night creating a really lovely atmosphere.
We loved every minute at Casa Lucia and would happily return.
Our stay at Casa Ida was perfection. When the worst part about the your vacation is having to learn all the different light switches, it's a good sign. Stefano and Tommasso and their family were so helpful answering any questions or problems we had with learning the ins and outs of european appliances. Even though we were there before the pool was opened for the season, the poolside space - from the outdoor cook-fire (which was graciously set up for us when we asked to use it) to the lunch table looking out over the hillside - and the whole property was gorgeous. The view from the main room and the bedrooms is jaw-droppingly stunning. The location is a great home base to drive through the hills of Toscana and visit other wonderful places like Pisa, Sienna, Sam Gimignano, Arezzo, Montepulciano, etc. We already are dreaming of coming back to stay again. Really a wonderful home to stay in and explore Toscana.
Just a note, the WiFi signal didn't reach the downstairs bedroom - only the upstairs floor, but we weren't complaining about unplugging more during our stay.

We verbleven een week in Casa Lucia. Het uitzicht was in werkelijkheid nog mooier dan op de foto’s. Op elk moment van de dag is het anders. Je kan er naar blijven kijken. Ook mooi het uitzicht op San Gimignano!!!
We werden vriendelijk ontvangen door Stefano, met een rondleiding door het huis. Er stond een welkomstpakket, waaronder eigen olijfolie en rode wijn vanaf hun eigen land!
Het huis is comfortabel. Boven airco’s die het gedurende dag goed koel houden. Beneden is het wat koeler, soms de deur opengedaan ‘s nachts, dat was zeer aangenaam.
Het zwembad was erg groot en heel lekker qua temperatuur. Er zijn genoeg ligbedjes en een grote parasol. Daarnaast is er ook een overdekt terras met weer prachtig uitzicht.
Voor ons de meest fijne plek waar we geweest zijn in Toscane!
Een aanrader is de Sentierelsa trail op twintig minuten rijden.
Ook fijn dat er een supermarkt dichtbij is en heel veel eettentjes.
Siena is ongeveer een half uur rijden en verder kun je allerlei kleine dorpjes bezoeken.
Kortom een aanrader als je van het Toscaanse uitzicht ben rust houdt!
