    This property is breathtaking! Niccolo was an excellent host. He has a thought of everything, I mean everything, to make your vacation excellent. The Villa was so clean and spacious. We had 13 people there. There were places to gather or to have some private time. It is the perfect place to be whether you want to relax by the pool or take a drive to a village and explore. We decided to have the dinner one night. It was delicious and beautiful served. Niccolo, his mother and his wife went out of their way to make our trip, a trip of a lifetime.

    I couldn’t recommend this villa highly enough. We had a fantastic holiday. Niccolo our host was brilliant, he was there to meet and greet us and responded to any questions we had very quickly. All in all this was the best holiday let we have ever stayed in. A big thank you to Niccolo and his family

    Villa Montanina exceeded all our expectations. We had 4 families staying for a week and accommodations worked out great. The Cherici family were wonderful hosts and are justifiably proud of what they have achieved with their villa dating back to 1409. We were there during the July-August heat wave and between aircon, the excellent pool and thick walls were always comfortable. There are several kitchens and eating areas which worked out well with our large group.

    We were so surprised by how much space the is at the villa, it was fantastic the pictures do not do it justice., it is very old and rustic building put to its best by the owners, games room gym, lovely pool, great supermarkets near by (puts ours to shame) you can walk into the nearest town for a drink and a market on a Wednesday morning (good hike back though) If you decide to get train to Arezzo make sue it stops at the local train station (just a square of ground) as the train went by my kids so dad had to drive them to the next one, but it stopped at the original one on the way back. The owners could not have been more helpful when needed. Recommend this is our fouth villa in Tuscany and the best yet.

    Had 14 lovely days at this old house. Lots of space and a real wonderfull pool (our grandkids stayed many ours at that place). We were promised from Nicolo, that the pool were supposted to be cleaned sunday night, wednesday morning and again sunday morning and so on. But I guess the poolman forgot it twice in our 14 days. Nice parents you have and also helpfull. Due to the heat, we didn't get around in the area as planned. Have a nice late summer

    Our stay at Castel Focognano was absolutely magnificent! Even more beautiful in person. The house is great for a big group as it is very spacious. We did not feel on top of each other at all. Niccolò and his Mother were so lovely and helpful with everything we needed. Really great people and made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again!
