Luxury Historic Tuscan Farmhouse with swimming pool overlooking the Tiber Valley

I reserved Priello a year ahead for an 8-day family reunion. Alesandro promptly and completely answered every question,offering what proved to be good advice. Twelve of us arrived in stages after transatlantic flights followed by stops in Rome, Venice and Sienna. On arrival we met Francesco, our only contact throughout the stay. He walked me through the property; I'd offered to do the intro for those arriving later. We saw top to bottom from upstairs bedrooms to the downstairs apartments and washing machine. Very nice.When we went to use the washer, the door had been re- locked. This was clearly listed (twice) as an Amenity on VRBO, so I messaged Alesandro for access and also help with sewer gas in a unit which hadn't been properly cleaned, leaving the water in the trap low enough to allow its escape. I also requested heat. No response for two days and two half-days of increasingly urgent messages. We refilled the trap and then drove to purchase bathroom cleaner. Two days on, I contacted VRBO. The morning of Day 3 we drove 19km to an Anghiari laundromat to do 6 loads. Our host arrived in person about lunchtime, citing an unavoidable trip out of town. He gave us a key to the laundry and turned the heat up. Issues resolved..The last 5 days was great; a beautiful place. The first 3 days can never be recovered. (We received a token good will payment.) Murphy's Law had defeated many of our preparations. Too bad there wasn't a Plan B at Priello.

We spent two weeks at this farm house. We enjoyed the dinners together. The wine is very good that they make. the home was very special the views spectacular we loved watching the baby boars come in for their apples. Francesco helped me out with some medical issues I had, which I really appreciated, we made some magical memories here

The old farmhouse was clean but not aired and allergy sufferers struggled. The location is rural with a tricky but ok road to the house. The manager lives across the parking area and runs a wine/olive oil tasting business. The pool was good. Comfortable outside seating for a big group was not adequately provided. Overall we enjoyed our stay but some improvements to accommodate big groups should be made.

The house is in the middle of nowhere - perfect if you look for a place for a relaxed group holiday. We enjoyed our stay there very much! The view from the poolside down in valley is just amazing. There is also enough space to store food and drinks for your stay. The house is big and clean and you'll feel like home in a short time If there were any questions, the housekeeper next door helped quick and friendly. I can only recommend going there!

This was the most amazing property. Alex and Francesco were the most amazing hosts. We could not have asked for a better location and group of people. This place will hold a special place in our hearts for the rest of our lives. We will definitely be coming back in the future!!

The house is beautiful with its typical Tuscan style. Authentic experience for people who would like to rest and experience the real Tuscany. The views were indeed breathtaking, even more than expected and the staff was very kind and helpful, we received excellent tips and must-dos regarding the area. Upon request we could order typical Tuscan meals, which were delicious and gave an interesting insight of the area's cuisine. The property was very clean and cozy. We stayed for a week and the overall experience was excellent, we would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes peaceful holidays.

Priello is a 600 year old farm which was once part of a monastery. It was painstakingly restored by Brent and Alex over a 6 year period and for the last 16 years has been an incredible rental property. The main house has walls that are several feet thick, a fireplace you could stand up in, a pizza oven on the terrace and beautiful luxurious baths. It's great for a family because you can rent the whole house, but there are also individual apartments on the lower floor by the pool and the former barn has beautiful apartments as well. EVERYTHING looks out over the prettiest view in Tuscany, down 1000 feet to a lake in the Tiber River. It is within a day's drive of everything you want to see in Tuscany, including Sienna, Montepulcino, the grotto where St. Francis had his visions, the town where Michelangelo was born, Anghiari a delightful little hilltown. You will need a car. The bus stops at the bottom of the hill and the house is at least a mile up a very steep and winding road. It is all worth it though. We spent several days just sitting around the pool, not taking any daytrips at all. There is a full kitchen in the main house and in most of the apartments, so you can shop for wine and groceries at any of the wonderful little surrounding villages and pretend you are a local. I have been in fall and spring and spring is just exquisite. But fall has its beauties too, like the chestnut groves on the mountain further up behind the farm. I recommend this to all my friends who go to Tuscany and the ones who don't follow up on it are always sorry they didn't.
