Michael and Alessandra are wonderful, and they really went out of their way to make us feel at home - driving us to the store for groceries our first night so we'd know where the grocery store is, making dinner reservations, and inviting us into their home for pre-dinner drinks and conversation. They are absolutely wonderful, the villa is historic... More

Our family (6 people, 2 kids and grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Baldasseroni. The accomodations were a perfect fit. We had lots of space to either sit quietly and read or be all together enjoying a meal. The grounds were spectacular and after a hot day touring the countryside the pool was an extra special feature that we... More

My family of nine (including two small children) enjoyed wonderful hospitality by Michael and Alessandra Griffiths in their remarkable 14th century luxury villa. If you're looking for "authentic Tuscany" this is it....A bit isolated (40 minutes from Florence) a car would be nice. However, Michael arranged taxis and private limos for us to local restaurants (SUPERB) and to Florence. The... More

My wife and I wanted to "live" in Tuscany to enjoy the Italian life style. We were fortunate to have excellent weather in May and found our perfect home, the charming Villa Alzato Baldasseroni, located in Lucignano, near San Casciano di Pesa. The villa is a charming, comfortable, and interesting place with much history. We visited the local outdoor markets... More

This was our second trip to Villa Balbasseroni with family and was a wonderful week in Tuscany. This time we stayed in the Main Apartment, the additional space with 6 adults was welcome. The Villa is shabby chic - at times more shabby than chic - but it is a beautiful property perfectly situated within a short drive of most... More

Our family of myself,husband, two children aged 11 and 8 and Grandma are just returned from a magical week at Villa Baldasseroni. We stayed in the less formal though still lovely Granary apartment. The villa is evocative of EM Forster's "A Room with a View" and if you are searching for a taste of not only authentic Tuscany but also... More

Four of us stayed in the Granary Apartment for two weeks in May. The villa was the perfect place for us and made us feel that it was our home away from home. We enjoyed having a full kitchen so that we were able to try our hand at preparing Tuscan meals in the evenings when we did not go... More

Wow - what a fabulous experience, one that we'll never forget. If you're looking for the quintessential "Tuscan villa", then this is it. The accomodation, setting, host and facilities were all first class. We spent 2 weeks in the main apartment which had plenty of room for our 2 children (both under 5), Mum, Dad, Grandma and our small dog.... More
