Perfect base to see all that Tuscany has to offer
La Casetta del Borgo was the perfect location for my recent trip to Tuscany with my wife. The unit is located in a resort with plenty of amenities including two pools and a very nice tennis court with faux grass that can be used for a small fee. It is a 10 minute drive to Montaione where one can go for dinner or buy groceries to cook in the unit's kitchen. All the necessary utensils are available to do some home cooking and I enjoyed a number of home cooked dinners and a delicious breakfast every morning thanks to my lovely wife. The main resort building has a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, however I didn't try it out so I can't say anything about it.

Paolo, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with. I was having trouble finding the location with my GPS so Paolo had me meet him at his home which is just off the highway from Florence and very easy to find. To ensure that I found it with no problem Paolo drove to the resort while I followed . Once at the resort he had the keys, a nice bottle of wine, and plenty of info about the local area ready for me. Since he knew that I had the flu he even had some flu medication for me in case I needed it! The weather was unseasonably cold when we arrived and the bedding wasn't sufficient, but Paolo came to the rescue and drove over in the rain with more blankets for us. You'll be hard pressed to find a better host at this type of vacation rental.

The location was perfect for us as it was very quiet, yet was within easy driving distance of many towns and cities in Tuscany. Smaller towns like Montaione and San Gimignon were within a 10-20 minute drive and Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Sienna were all within an hours scenic drive. If driving into Florence remember that free parking can be found at the Piazzale Michelangelo which is located outside of the ZTL and is a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi and other old city sites. The views are also magnificent!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to others.

Fraai en schoon appartement in Toscaanse stijl in rustige omgeving
Vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaren, schoon en smaakvol ingericht appartement op goed onderhouden en luxueus resort met uitstekende faciliteiten (meerdere zwembaden, tennisbaan, restaurant, wellness centre). Rustige omgeving nabij San Gimignano. De afgelegen ligging houdt echter ook in dat supermarkten op minimaal 15min rijafstand liggen en dat de ontvangst van mobiele netwerken matig is.

Would Highly Recommend
Thanks Paolo and Tania for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. We booked this apartment based on other comments and were not disappointed. It was clean and comfortable. Spectacular garden area to eat outside in throughout the day. Three pools along with spa, restaurant and bar. Very close to several beautiful small hillside ancient towns. We arrived 2 hours late because our cell phone didn't work consistently and Paolo and Tania were there to greet us with smiles nonetheless and pages of local information. We would absolutely return to this apartment, location and price incredible.

A place to be
La Casetta del Borgo was for us a very pleasant, clean and cosy stay. Everything you need is present in the house and the host is very friendly and helpfull. We realy felt at home in this appartment, that is part of a little, but very comfortable resort "Borgo la Fernace". From this place we visited the nice and wonderful villages and towns of this part of Toscane, like Siena, Volterra, Lucca, S.Gimignano and don't forget the Colle di Val d'Elsa. And every day in the late afternoon we went "home", to enjoy this wonderfull appartment with his colourfull and restfull garden.

Perfect vacation!
We've stayed for one week at La Casseta Del Borgo. Very clean , comfortable and cute house, well furnished and equipped with everything you could need . My husband loves to cook, so we were preparing dinner and breakfast every day in the kitchen. The garden in front of the house is perfect for romantic dinner... with beautiful flowers and trees. Paolo and Tania were waiting for us with a bottle of wine and typical tuscany biscuits for the Easter :) So nice... after our long trip! We spent a great time at Tuscany, traveling every day with our almost one year old boy. There are 3 pools in the complex, so .. it will be perfect for the summer too. The whole complex is luxury, quiet, comfortable and just in the forest. Thank you so much, Paolo and Tania , for making our vacation perfect!

Descriptif conforme à celui des propriétaires. La maison est bien située pour se rendre à Florence, Sienne, lucques et pour visiter les vignobles du chianti. La maison se trouve parmi d''autres maisons de vacances et le parking est à proximité de l''accueil et l''endroit est très au calme. Les propritaires sont charmants, très accueillants et attentionnés. Malheureusement, nous n''avons pas pu profiter de la piscine située à proximité à cause du temps. Le logement est très propre et la déco est très soignée. Nous étions 4 adultes et le clic-clac dans la cuisine-salle à manger était de bonne qualité. Par contre, il faut être véhiculé car les villages les plus proches sont à environ 8 à 10km. Je conseille cette maison.

Si te gustan los bonitos paisajes, ve a la Toscana; si quieres trasladarte al pasado, visita cualquiera de sus pueblos; si quieres aislarte del mundanal ruido, acude a este tranquilo conjunto residencial, y, dentro de él, si quieres sentirte como en tu propia casa, permanece en la que te ofrecen, con todos sus pequeños y grandes detalles, los educados, amables y encantadores Tania y Paolo.

We spent a wonderful week at Paolo's and Tania's place over the summer. Our 4-year-old son adored the pool and playground, and my wife even took advantage of the spa at the hotel. We found the location perfect as a launching pad for visits around Tuscany, such as to Pisa, Florence and San Gimignano. In the evenings, my wife prepared dinner in the kitchen and we dined in our private garden. Our week there was like a dream, and we hope to go back to La Casetta again some time soon.

Cette location nous a beaucoup plu. L''intérieur est tres cosi, très propre et aménagé avec gout. La résidence est parfaite pour passer un séjour reposant dans un environnement très agréable (le restaurant est également très bon). Située en pleine campagne Toscane, il faut une voiture pour visiter les alentours et les villages tels que San Giminiano, Voltera et est a égale distance de Florence, Sienne et Pise (1 heure de route). Les propriétaires sont charmants et très accueillants. Merci donc à Tania et Paolo pour ce séjour sans faute.

Great holiday in the heart of Tuscany
It was great 2 weeks holiday in very nice and calm place. Apartament is beautiful, very clean and well-equipped. In front of accommodation is big garden. Our children enjoyed with swimming pool , which is very clean and quite big. Short distance to San Gimignano, where we recommend the best ice cream we have ever eaten (It was on Piazza Duomo, Gelateria di Piazza, our favourite tastes: Mango – it taste like real fruit, Champanello – mix of champagne and pink grapefruit, Fruti de passione, Frutti di bosco, All were delicious). Good place to visit Firenze, Lukka, Siena, Pisa , Voltera

Iwona and Family
San Gimignano Gelateria di Piazza

Very cute, clean & comfortable apartment
"My wife and I spent a week at La Furnace in La Casetta del Borgo. Paolo and Tania have given serious attention to detail in planning for the comfort of their guests. It is all that it represents to be. It is located ideally for exploration of the hill towns of Tuscany which we spent a week doing by car. La Furnace is a nice resort staffed with friendly, accomodating personnel. We could not have asked for more."

"NOUS AVONS PASSE UNE SEMAINE TRES AGREABLE A LA CASETTA DEL BORGO. NOUS NOUS Y SOMMES SENTIS COMME CHEZ NOUS. LA MAISON EST AMENAGEE AVEC BEAUCOUP DE GOUT, JUSQUE DANS LE MOINDRE DETAIL (DECORATION INTERIEURE, VAISSELLE, EQUIPEMENT POUR LA CUISINE, ETC... ), ET C'EST VRAIMENT TRES PROPRE. LE CADRE EXTERIEUR EST TRES SYMPATIQUE EGALEMENT. L'EMPLACEMENT EST IDEAL : JUSTE A COTE DE SAN GIMIGNANO, PAS TRES LOIN DE VOLTERRA, ET A ENVIRON 1 HEURE DE FIRENZE, DE PISA, ET DE SIENA."

Solo podria decir cosas buenas sobre este apartamento, el dueño (Paolo) y su mujer (Tania) son dos bellisimas personas, quienes estuvieron muy atentos en todo momento con nosotros, haciendo la estancia más cómoda. El apartamento es precioso (como en las fotos) y está muy bien equipado. En cuanto a la higiene, todo estaba realmente limpio. Las vistas desde alli de la toscana, eran espectaculares, ya que la casa esta sobre una colina lo que permitia ver por encima de las nubes. Os recomiendo que si teneis la oportunidad no dudeis en alquilar este apartamento.
