REVIEWS on TRIP…

"" Everything there is amazing and exactly what you'd expect if you want a Tuscan experience. It was like a movie.
The views from the property were outstanding and the hospitality would not be matched.
This family goes above and beyond for guests. … I could go on and on about this place... It was a dream.
Amazing! and I would very highly recommend it for anyone looking for that true Tuscan experience. ."" Amy

"" How can you put into words the perfect month in Tuscany?? Two words: Villa Cafaggiolo!!!
The most magnificent place to spend time in Italy. La Dolce Vita... "" Betty

"" We were very happy with the Villa Cafaggiolo on a week's family holiday. I had searched through a of lovely looking villa's in Tuscany but was delighted with the end choice!
We had a very warm welcome from Paola and we instantly hit it off.
Paola and Niccolo were very helpful suggesting local hot spots and where to go.
The villa is very well kept and in a very quiet little spot but close enough to the nearby towns for food, restaurants. We felt like we had the place completely to ourselves and enjoyed relaxing by the pool. I loved waking up to singing birds..."" Jennifer

"" I have stayed at Villa Cafaggiolo several times in the past 10 years. It is a beautiful property, perfectly situated on a commuter train line 20 minutes East of Florence. The property itself is very picturesque with all of the buildings done in Tuscan farm style. There is a lovely swimming pool and a rose garden. But what makes the experience of visiting Cafaggiolo so memorable is the warmth and friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, the Pucci family. They are always ready with a recommendation of where to eat, what to see, where to get the best gelato in Florence,etc. They truly treat the guests as if they are family, and many guests are repeat customers. They love what they do, and it shows. They are the perfect innkeepers!""Lisa

"" Such a beautiful spot off the beaten path! The Pucci family has paid attention to every detail to make Villa Cafaggiolo the perfect place to call home while exploring Tuscany. We stayed in the Giotto Apartment. It was so cozy and welcoming.
The architectural detail of the space is a story in itself. So well done!
The decor is charming and filled with collectables found at local flea markets.
The beds are beyond comfortable with wonderful crisp ironed sheets and personal down comforters designed by Paola! Genious!..."" Karen

"" We were so very glad we stayed here and got to know the Pucci family.
We are 40-something with 2 kids (ages 6 and 10) and the Michelangelo apartment was perfect for us.
We appreciated the pre-arrival grocery delivery which was very convenient. Highlights of the property: Pucci family recommendations, the pool, the peaceful atmosphere, and proximity of both Florence and the hill towns.
The villa's website will give you all of the information about their three apartments as well as pictures.
The apartments were excellent. Well furnished, very clean, cooking pots and pans if you want to prepare your own meals.
We were so pleased with the area and the villa that we want to go back with friends in the future."" Lee

"" ... the location is close enough to drive to Florence or take the train( which we did).
Niccolo is very knowledgable and loves Tuscany and shares it well. Paola his mom is delightful lady. Very attentive, no question is too small. She loves to practice her English. Sergio, her husband is the man in the background who makes a lot of things happen""John

Perfect - Relaxing Stay in Tuscan Country Side
This villa is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in rural Tuscany that is still close to major venues. I had travelled to Italy 20 years ago with a younger crowd and took in all the major touristy things that the Florence area had to offer. For this trip, I wanted to take my family back and enjoy a more genuine emersion into what I consider to be the best of what Italy has to offer - the more laid back rural areas of Tuscany. Of course, we wanted to hit the major sights - the Dome, the museums, Pisa, etc. and all of this is within an hour or two drive from the villa. Florence is much more commercialized than it was 20 years ago, so if you want to see the museums, make sure to make reservations ahead of time since the lines are now extremely long. But if you really want the best experience, go to the villa and make your excursions from there. Niccolo and his family are extremely friendly and helpful and can help guide you to a genuine Italian experience. Instead of heading into the city, head out into the countryside and experience a taste of life that is older and fulfilling! The house is comfortable, beautiful, etc. The pictures say it all. Make sure you save time to just sit and enjoy all it has to offer. If you're looking to unwind, go into town and buy local Italian groceries from the Coop store, some local Italian wine, and just sit outside with a glass or two and watch the sunset in the evening. Don't miss the pasta making experience with your family. We bought a pasta maker in Rome and my kids have sworn never to eat store-bought pasta again! Thanks to Niccolo and the whole family. We will be back!

Tuscany Treasure
Our trip to Tuscany was fabulous. Niccolo communicated with us from the very beginning of the booking; answering our questions and offering suggestions. We were picked up at the local train station and taken to our place on his family property. Niccolo offered to buy groceries for us so we could immediately settle in. His family was wonderful and we got to spend a lot of time with his wife Barbara and his parents. This property has Ned non the family for a long time and you can feel a real love for the property.We watched Niccolo’s daughter work with her horse, met the ponies and sat for a traditional Italian dinner.. They shuttled us to the local train station, gave us suggestions for Florence and joined us in enjoying the results of our cooking class. I highly recommend a cooking class, even if your stay is short. We felt like family! Next time we will stay longer! Thank you for welcoming us into your home. Gretchen and Patricia
