Gorgeous property in a Tuscan hill-top village. The house is just incredible. Lovely and cool, due to all the ancient stone, but with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Fantastic showers - really powerful - and a much-needed plunge pool for when we needed relief from the heat. The location of the house is perfect. Supermarket and bars/restaurants/wine-tasting all within walking distance.

Amazing views of Tuscany countryside

This house is incredible, leaving no stone ( literally) unturned to find a balance between preserving the medieval charm of the house but providing modern comforts. Even the water pressure is great! Beds are all comfortable. The views from the decks are breathtaking ! We loved exploring Tuscany with this amazing house as our base .

The villa and Montespertoli are so charming! The home is so lovely! The view from top level is unbelievable! The court yard a wonderful spot for a meal. Only tip is if traveling by bus on Sunday times are very limited! We ended up taking a train from Florence to Empoli to get a decent time into town. Though bus ticket purchases are very limited. Maybe purchase in Florence. Or spurge on a taxi! But, during week we went to Florence twice and had plenty of options to get to and from. You can buy tickets in Tabbachi! So many great restaurants and vineyard a short walk and delicious wine! Market was amazing! So much to love! So peaceful!!!
One angle of view.
Heading towards door.
Charming clock and wind gauge. Next to butcher, church, gelato, cafe!

Great location and space

Montespertoli did not disappoint. This home is very well located to enjoy a small town and have easy access to other small towns, as well as Florence and Lucca-two of our favorites. Wine tasting, gelato, bakery, groceries, post office all within a short walk. The listing was accurate and our family of six had plenty of room to be together or find a quiet space. We especially enjoyed the rooftop patio. Bruno was responsive to questions and recommendations and the check in/check out process was smooth. Thank you for a lovely visit.

Great place if looking for a stay away from tourist area

The house was nice. The town itself has a couple small bars and restaurants that we checked out. It was easily walkable to the town and close enough to get into the Florence area. We did wish there was more soap and shampoo on the bathrooms and if the beds could have been made. Otherwise beautifysetting and a gracious owner who always responded quickly to any question we had.

A Charming Apartment

Our family of nine was entranced by the old-world authenticity of this apartment, yet with the modern amenities we all want. The town was small and easily walkable to good restaurants, with a good coffee shop practically next door. Bruno was an attentive host, and his communication with you prior to checking in was thorough. Would stay here again.

Excellent stay in a local village

Our stay was exactly what we needed and exceeded our expectations. A beautifully renovated/restored villa with all the facilities you could need and it was terrific to have space after a spate of living out of hotel rooms. Walking distance to everything that is needed and a great opportunity to practice speaking Italian. Highly recommend this accommodation. Bruno is fabulous and incredibly helpful and responsive.

Wonderful

Villa is spacious, courtyards intimate, lots of things to discover in the walls, remnants of original decorating, pottery, little nooks. Views are spectacular and located near city center. We enjoyed going for cafe every morning. Several spots to choose from. We were there for a month and it was easy to get to train station to travel to Rome and Venice. Lots of quaint towns to drive to also. The host Bruno was very easy to contact and replied quickly.
