Having booked Villa Limoni 7 months previously we arrived to start our rental to be told that the property had been damaged in a storm and was not habitable, but that we could use the other villa owned by the same family, Zurli, located less than 1 km away. Unfortunately this was a bare-faced lie, and another family were enjoying Limoni for the next week as it had been double-booked. Even then we were not told the truth until every possible untruth had been tried. We were upgraded to a better villa with the promise of nothing further to pay, but this was also untrue. I would not recommend this company to anyone, as despite the villa-owner's dishonesty, our contract was with the agents.
Bottino is even more beautiful than the photos. It's a very comfortable home, with picturebook views, and lots of interesting places to visit nearby (if you feel like tearing yourself away from the terrace and the beautiful setting). Of the places I've rented, this is tops for bathroom joys (water pressure, hot water and giant bath sheets).
The property is basic, but clean, safe, comfortable and brilliantly placed to explore Northern Tuscany, by train and by car. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and would strongly recommend it.
The apartment is beautiful and we loved our time there. We found the apartment quite dark inside and a little cold in September with its stone floors. I would suggest more lighting and more floor rugs for this time of year.
The apartment was perfectly clean and a joy to stay in. Lovely being so close to Florence and yet have such lovely views. Giuseppe and Simona were the only people we meet really and they were both lovely, especially Simona who wanted to be helpful all the time and her collegue who ran the bar on Sundays.
We stayed at the Villa il Nido the week of Sept 13 – 20, 2008, and had a delightful experience.
The villa is set on top of a hill, with beautiful vistas of the surrounding countryside, yet a short walk brings you to the village of Castelnuovo, which contains many facilities, including services, shops, and good restaurants. (The afternoon closing times do take some getting used to, since some of us on holiday don’t get moving till noon!) The town is also well situated for sightseeing and walking/hiking in the hills of the Garfagnana area, and is only an hour’s drive from Lucca. There is a good train service. There are also many other small towns in the area to visit.
The villa itself is very spacious, on two levels and a loft, with quality, heirloom furniture, comfortable beds, enough bathrooms, and a well appointed kitchen.
Paolo and his wife, Maria Christina, were gracious people, who take pride in their role as hosts. They were always available for our requests, and responded to them promptly and courteously. Paolo gave us a tour of the property and explained its interesting history. He is a well informed tourist guide. Maria Christina baked us a traditional tuscan cake – a new taste experience for us.
We heartily recommend the Villa il Nido for an enjoyable vacation.
We have included some pictures of the vistas outside the villa.

Fabulous villa, the second time we have stayed here. Excellent service provided by the 3 sisters who run the property. They are very friendly and hospitable, even though sometimes the language barrier could be a bit of a problem. Our villa this time could house 7 adults although only 5 of us stayed so there was plenty of room. The rooms were spacious and tidy with lovely furniture in keeping with the style of the villa. We had amazing views across the vineyards and hillsides from our upper storey bedroom window. The pool was well maintained as were the grounds. A great new addition to the propety is the new wine cellar/hosting area where we enjoyed a wonderful four course meal one evening together with all the guests from the other villas. This was organised by the 3 sisters and was enjoyed by everyone.
For those of you driving to the villa, we did have a major hiccup following our directions provided by this website! The exit at Firenze Signa is no longer called that, it had changed to Scandicci exit over a year ago. This caused us to overshoot the exit and drive for an additional 40km before we could get back to Scandicci. This just causes undue stress when you are driving in a foreign country and rely soley on instructions provided to you.

Capannina is in a fantastic location for touring around Tuscany. The villa is basic but has everything you need including an incredible 16m pool which overlooks the beautiful Tuscan countryside. You need to take towels for the pool but apart from that it is very well equipt. We would definitely go back as it was the perfect place to relax and in such a good position for touring Tuscany. Highly recommended. Karen & Jim, London 2008
The location of the Villa was fantastic and local village lovely; however did not enjoy the service or food in the Pizza Place across the road. Apart from that the Villa location was great, close to major cities and in heart of contryside. The Villa itself has a lovely pool and outside eating area, where we enjoyed BBQs and Breakfast - dinner. Inside comfortable for 8 people, however Kitchen could do with updating. Local food and wine lovely, and the manager of the Villa was fantasic and looked after us very very well. Mark Harrison, York, England
San Gimignano is a unique place. The town is inspiring and visually stunning, with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and everything you need for a very special week.
Torre di San Gimignano is a very special place to stay. Views to die for, breathtaking (both physically and visually - 180 stairs work off all the fantastic food and wine!) An unforgettable experience.
While you're there eat lots of ice-cream (Gelateria di Piazza - best in world!); Drink the local wine!; Try all the restaurants (in particular Ristorante Dorando' - not cheap but 10/10); Buy a leather handbag or two (Le Torri); Music festival week while we were there and evening entertainment with violinists and puppetry was great.
