My husband and I spent a wonderful 2 nights at La Fonte Del Machiavelli in May. It is located in a quiet spot overlooking Chianti country with all the vineyards, Cypress trees, rose bushes, etc. The Villa has a wonderful patio that is shady in the afternoon and allows you to enjoy a nice glass of wine (or beer) while...

This is the most beautiful place in Tuscany. Breath taking views, a helpful and friendly owner, good breakfast selection, especially on the terrace. You would need your own transport to get there, Firenze is about 15 min away. Go there you won't be sorry!

Simone is a fabulous host! He is warm and inviting and very helpful! The views of the countryside from the patio are absolutely beautiful ... vineyards, rolling hills, olive trees .. and absolute privacy all around. I watched the moonrise and the sunrise from the patio, watched the light changing on the distant hills, listened to the birds singing ...... More

This review is late, but perfect. My husband and I found this beautiful place by chance, and what a stroke of luck! First thing that needs mentioning-Simone is the host, and no one could pick a better person for the job. On top of being a superb cook, just seeing his smile every day is a treat! As was trying...

My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights in October 2011. It was the perfect location in Tuscany so access all the cute villages and towns one might want to visit. I wish we had more time to spend at this beautiful B&B. The surroundings were amazing. The host could not have been nicer...he was so helpful - giving... More

My husband and I have just spent one night at this amazing B&B. We were passing through the Chianti area of Tuscany for only one night and picked the accommodation because of the comments of fellow travellers, we were not disappointed. Our only disappointment was spending one night there. The setting is truley picturesque, the host Simone, was so charming... More

The views were absolutely breathtaking from the patio/balcony! The property is nestled in vineyards and the view overlooks Tuscany. We were greeted by the owner with a drink when we arrived. He was extremely nice and gave us excellent service while we were there. He knew some English and we knew some Italian so our conversations were limited, but he... More
