1 review Three generations of Smeetons thoroughly enjoyed our time in Tuscany. Well equipped and appointed house. The pool a huge plus and we all loved the elderly cats. Note: you MUST have your own transportation. We rented two cars between the nine of us. Grocery shopping is possible in nearby towns, and the train service from Certaldo to Sienna and Florence is good (parking in those two wonderful cities is impossible!).

While we agree that the train service is good, we would be happy to direct future guests to good parking in Florence and Siena.

Highly recommended. Amazing views, beautifully decorated house, great location and very kind hosts, what more can one ask for. We spent 3 days in May and were very sorry we couldnt stay longer. The villa fit our group of 9 perfectly, we greatly enjoyed breakfasts on the terrace, cooking in the roomy kitchen and sitting by the pool after a long day exploring nearby towns (dont miss montereggioni and colle val d'elsa!).will hopefully be back!

L'Antica Cisterna was the perfect Villa for a family reunion. It surpassed our expectations and was so spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped and the interior design and artifacts were just perfect. A true Tuscan experience enhanced by views that would be very hard to better, just stunning every day...the hosts were charming and very helpful and supportive when needed. Our party encompassed all age groups to include children and we all found the Villa just wonderful, and the surrounding gardens and the terrace which invited us to have meals outside, so delightful in the early Spring weather.
The position of the villa also enabled us to visit the highlights of Tuscany as well as have some very local walks and serenity, with historical places just minutes away. Shopping was easy also for commodities with large Co-ops and Pam Supermarkets not far. The comfort of the Villa enticed us to have family meals at what was' our home 'for two wonderful weeks. The perfect place for a perfect holiday. Bravo!

This place exceeded our expectations! From the three baths to the four bedrooms we never felt crowded even when we had fourteen over the weekend!
The large kitchen is functional and made cooking fun!
Sitting outside overlooking Tuscany, drinking wine and enjoying the fireflies was a treat every night! Can't wait to return!
