Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Civitella in Val di Chiana

If you are looking for a little piece of heaven look no further. Vignoni Alto is peaceful and incredibly beautiful. Stefano met us and showed us everything about the apartment and the historic hamlet. His instructions and recommendations were very helpful. The apartment is not far from the restaurants in Bagno Vignoni. Stefano really is a perfect host—responsive, friendly and proactive. Our only regret was that after a week we had to leave.

Hands down our favorite part of our two weeks in Italy! Casa Al Poggio was our Tuscan home away from home. We went and did all the things… Florence, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, etc. But coming “home” to this place was the best. So peaceful and picturesque looking across the valley at the Badia Di Passignano. We cooked many meals in the well stocked kitchen and my husband loved the rustic BBQ. Fresh herbs in the garden and the smell of jasmine blooming on the patio. Book yourself extra time here…you won’t want to leave! Emanuele & Tamara are the kindest people. Take them up on all of their restaurant recommendations. Everyone one was a hit! We can’t wait to go back.

The main thing is Nada' s attention to every communication you sent, she responds the same day. Anything you asks for within reason, you get from Nada. It was a new experience for us in Tuscany but her property is combiniently located within 40 minutes to an hour and 30 from all the Tuscany turistic places.

Valeria and Simone have a super nice and clean apartment! We felt very comfortable right from the beginning. The apartment offers a great starting point for numerous hikes and excursions. During our stay, we always received good tips and advice from the two. Our dog also felt very comfortable and since the property is completely fenced, he could move freely. We would come back. It was an incredibly beautiful time!

Norma was an absolute treasure, and her home and family were lovely. The property sits overlooking a lovely castle and a beautiful church with great views on the other side. The property has a great pool with plenty of privacy or interaction with the family, I only wish I spoke more Italian to be able to sit and chat with her lovely in-laws! Norma offered great recommendations for day trips, and overall the local area was great to explore. My only advice would be the usual: rent a smaller car to make life easier! Sitting on the patio overlooking the castle, with a glass of wine, is a memory we will never forget, and is highly recommended. Whether during the day or after the sun has gone down and the fireflies comes out (weather permitting) it's a Tuscan treat you won't want to miss. We truly felt like a part of the family and would love to return to her home the next time we come back. Truly a wonderful experience!

The house is beautiful and unlike anything else. What made the experience amazing was one of the hosts, Daniela. Daniela greeted us upon check in, walked us around the house and went above and beyond and booked us a wine tour where he graciously translated everything in English during the entire experience. Daniela made the place feel like home and I couldn’t recommend him and the experience he provides more.

Ester’s place was absolutely amazing! I fell in love with the beautiful stone and wooden floors, and the Tuscan kitchen was a dream—filled with gorgeous dishes and high-quality cookware that made cooking a pleasure. The linens smelled so fresh and clean, and the furnishings struck the perfect balance between rustic charm and elegant style. Every little detail, from the artwork to the thoughtful touches throughout the house, added so much character. This was not one of those bare, minimalistic places—it felt curated and cozy, full of warmth and personality. Giovanni and Ester were incredibly communicative and helpful throughout our stay. They reached out ahead of time to advise us to make reservations for Easter (which was a lifesaver!), helped arrange transportation, gave us fantastic local recommendations, and checked in to make sure we were doing well. We also really appreciated the welcoming bottle of prosecco, the breakfast treats, and the beautiful fresh oranges.

It's a really great place to stay with a great view. The bedding was clean and the bathroom was clean. There are two swings, a playground with a slide, a garden, and animals such as mountain rabbits, cats, mountain birds, snails... etc. that made the kids happy. I was grateful that the hosts were so kind and sweet. I recommend this accommodation that I want to go to again.

The accommodation and the garden are simply a dream – lovingly designed, quietly located and with a very special atmosphere. The pool with the wide view over the Tuscan landscape was a highlight for us - an absolute pleasure in the morning and in the evening. Vito is a great host: warm, helpful and always available without being intrusive. We felt comfortable from the first minute and enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the place throughout the week. The location is perfect for day trips: Florence, Siena, Arezzo or even smaller places like San Gimignano or Cortona - everything is easily accessible in about an hour to an hour and a half. In the evenings, we often cooked and enjoyed the sunset in the garden - with a glass of wine and just silence. I have already recommended this accommodation to several friends – three have already booked – and I would come back anytime. A place to switch off, enjoy and simply feel good.

We had an amazing week in the villa. Even if hou have other people living there, you feel so calm and free. There is a designated spot for each appartements to eat so you can enjoy good time outside. The site is so clean and we ser that the host take good care of everything. We had a lot of recommandations to discover te surroundings and the host was so easy to reach when we needed. All the commodities were there, the appartement is well equiped. I strongly suggest to rent a car, it’s the easiest way to enjoy your stay there. I surely recommand this place and I would go back again.

We are so glad for the six days we were able to spend in Tuscany at Marta’s home! The setting is so peaceful – nothing but rolling hills and fields around, with the city of Siena in the distance. Sienna was only 17 minutes away by car, so we went for restaurants, market day, and sightseeing. We were also able to explore multiple other towns in Tuscany. This was a great central location for us. When we wanted to stay at the apartment, we enjoyed nice privacy, our own picnic table and gazebo, and soaked in the hot tub one evening. Marta’s wine (the first bottle is free) was fantastic. If we come to Tuscany again, we will certainly try to stay here!

The apartment was right in the centre of Siena, a fabulous place to explore from. The balcony was a wonderful place to sit and watch everything go on in the piazza del campo.

Words do not do Francesco and Cecilia’s villa justice. We have stayed at many places, but this one is tops! Beautiful villa and surroundings. Great breakfast supplies (which we did not expect). Tremendous space, privacy,and beautiful landscape! We slept late most days because the loudest sound was the bumblebees in the stunning jasmine outside and the birds. We like to cook and the kitchen was fantastic. Everything was fantastic, including our very wonderful hosts!!! We will go back!! Great experience!!

A very elegant and spacious apartment in a fabulous position with great views . Cristina is very engaged and a helpful host, fabulous communication. Bathroom was particularly spacious with great shower. Would thoroughly recommend.

Paola’s place was an incredible getaway for the two of us - we played fetch with Nilde in the garden, had a night where Paola taught us to make pasta and tiramisu, and enjoyed the best sunsets. If you get a chance, definitely check out Osteria Alla Villa for dinner. We will definitely be back! Thank you Paola for the hospitality and making our first trip to Tuscany so special.

The entire property and room itself were beautiful. Beyond our expectations. We enjoyed our short stay there and would absolutely go back in the future for longer given the opportunity. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful home! We very much enjoyed our stay and the area of Sarteano. We will be back again!

Wow-10 days spent at Alec's villa and could have stayed longer! The age and beauty of this place makes you feel transported back in time. From the stone walls, the detailed wall paintings, furniture and decor, to the solid doors easily hundreds of years old... We spent hours just speaking of it's history. The house is clean, spacious, and had plenty of room for our family of 8. It is situated on a small family vineyard at the top of an incredibly windey road. There outdoor space was safe/secluded for my kids. The hill made for wonderful beautiful views and sunrise. However, as with much of Tuscany, we were glad our rental cars weren't too big! The closest town is 5 minutes away and has a few restaurants... Though not somewhere you can have coffee or walk the streets. About 15 minutes away is San Casciano where you can find coffee shops, restaurants, stores etc. Alec is a perfect host... helpful, responsive, and answered dozens of questions weekly. Book dinner at A Casa Mia for sure!

We travelled with 8 adults and 4 children under 5. This stay was in a breathtaking area. It was quiet and peaceful. The house was spotless and you could tell that there is a lot of love and care that goes into its up keep. The pictures don’t do it justice. There is 1 bathroom for every 2 bedrooms - so for us it was perfect and we had some privacy. They had two well maintained and very clean toddler cots. The grounds are beautiful. There so many different areas to sit and relax, or find something to do as a group. The pool was cleaned every morning before 7. We were provided also with excellent local recommendations. I would highly recommend this stay for anyone who wants a peaceful place to stay away from a big city- but close enough to drive to some beautiful towns.

From the moment we walked through the entry gate, we knew this was going to be a very special place to stay. The views of the Tuscan countryside were amazing. The interior was so charming - beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Giulia, the host was so thoughtful - even providing us with a wonderful welcome snack. The pool was refreshing and the gardens beautiful. Fantastic location - we could get to all our destinations within an hour. We loved every minute and definitely hope to return some day!!

The house was exceptionally clean and located in a great area. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Perfect for anyone who enjoys cooking. I highly recommend staying here if it’s available, and I would definitely return if I get the chance.

We’ve stayed in many many airbnbs, and this is the most interesting and beautiful one we’ve stayed at by far. It’s an authentic Tuscan villa built around 1700 and loved by the current owners / hosts. You can tell how much love and care they put into maintaining this place - in particular the garden and olive farm! Marta was an incredible host, greeting us when we arrived, showing us around and even gifting us some olive oil from their farm when we didn’t have cash! We absolutely loved staying here and plan on coming back with friends! Cannot recommend enough!!

Perfect place to stay for exploring the Tuscany region! Roberto’s son Simone was so helpful in suggesting where to go and was always quick to respond. The house itself was meticulously renovated to have modern amenities with still some old world charm.

Leonardo, Lisa, & Nonna Sylvana all went the extra mile to make things run smoothly for us. With the welcoming torta & pizza, & the homemade lasagna a few days later, we were able to get by with very few groceries for the week. The villa & surroundings are incredible! The house is immaculate & well supplied. We didn't have a car but having one would have been nice to reach the surrounding area. We navigated the bus system that is available & it took us awhile to figure it out, but once learned, we were able to get to & from Florence. We walked to & from Impruneta which was further away than we realized. It's a bit tricky with no sidewalks, so we had to be careful. (Note: No taxis were available.) We splurged on a winery tour through Tours of Tuscany that picked us up & dropped us off at the villa, & drove us to 2 different wineries & San Gimignano. Amazing! Communication with our host was easy, very pleasant, & timely. We'd love to return & spend even more time there some day.
