Large, well appointed and nicely renovated unit in historical building. Wine and olive oil from property available and tour of old production facilities. Amazing views and lovely pool and shared pizza oven/bbq facilities. Leonardo, our host, was very helpful and pleasant. Great recommendations. Best to visit by car.

Appartement très confortable avec emplacement extérieur pour les repas donnant sur les vignobles. Idéalement situé entre Florence et Sienne. Epicerie à Lucoléna et gare à 8 km pour Florence donc très pratique. Léonardo, le propriétaire prépare les documents permettant un séjour facile et parle très bien français., Bilan, un séjour très agréable et un emplacement à recommander pour découvrir une superbe région.

Amazing villa. Beautiful setting close to a tiny village with a brilliant pizzeria. Leonardo was a great host, highly recommend his personal tour of his families vineyard Just perfect....

First of all it was exactly what I was looking for Under The Tuscan Sun. Cozy Villa with all the amenities, Kitchen was stocked with great pans and tools. Very Cozy appearance and Leonardo was so gracious explained everything very well helped in planning a wine excursion day for us. The views were amazing of the hills of Tuscany and pool area was very nice as well. Very close to Florence and Vineyards I highly recommend!

Most beautiful and peaceful part of our 3 week Italy vacation. Great location for wineries and day trips to Florence and Siena. Accommodations were spacious and upscale. Leonardo was wonderful and has so much local knowledge. We will be back!

Rooms where clean and tidy. Furnished most comfortably. View from all windows amazing as one looks out over vineyards and rolling hills. Only downside was that the pool is kept cold - no idea how it can stay so cold when the temperatures are in the high 30's. In the evening one can listen as wild boars wander around in fields below. Checking in and out done with greatest of ease.

Lovely apartment. Gracious host. Peaceful, quiet, clean. Enjoyed The pergola outside & the awesome pool. Highly recommend cooking class in house.

My friend and I stayed at Il Castellaccio for a week whilst on a 2 week holiday in Italy - this was our week of relaxation after the hustle and bustle of Florence and Lucca. We wanted relaxation in beautiful surroundings and we got it in spades - it is simply a lovely place to stay. Leonardo was friendly and helpful and gave us plenty of ideas of places we might want to go - we even had our own wine tasting with him and his passion for his produce is clear (and the wine is good!). The views from the apartment and eating area immediately outside are simply stunning and there is plenty of wildlife to see (wild boar, deer and birds of prey). The pool is lovely and a good size and catches the sun all day. What made the holiday for us though, was the quality of the apartment, the views from it and the friendliness of Leonardo who could not do too much for us. All in all a brilliant stay and I would not hesitate to come back or to recommend it to friends.
