Wonderful stay in the Tuscan Hills
We enjoyed a wonderful fortnight's stay at this beautiful home in the hills outside the village of Monterchi. The house sits on a ridge with far reaching views across the surrounding valleys, particularly stunning from the swimming pool. The owners were kind and thoughtful and there to offer assistance whenever needed. Their recommendations were spot on, especially the gelateria at the end of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence!!! There were so many beautiful places to visit within easy reach that the house was a perfect launch pad into Tuscany and Umbria. A lovely circular walk from the house towards an elegant castle, allows you to enjoy the setting of the house in this rural paradise. The pool, with its kitchen and shower set in gorgeous gardens, was the the star of the show, the only problem was dragging the kids away! We visited in late July/early August when a music fesitval was on and we enjoyed a wonderful evening of open air jazz in the square in Monterchi, filled with locals rather than tourists.

Dreams do come true
Hvis man drømmer om det hyggelige autentisk Toscana så er det her drømmestedet. Udsigt og stemning er som taget ud fra en film. Jeg har aldrig før prøvet at blive mødt og modtaget af så omsorgsfulde og venlige udlejere. Danny og Jeanette gjorde mere end man kan drømme om. Huset er gammelt rustikt og cozy🙏 Vk som familie elskede vores uge her i Montechi ❤️ Vil så gerne tilbage og kan kun anbefale det til alle 🤩

Vacances extraordinaires
Nous avons passé 17 jours en Italie dont 7 dans cette extraordinaire propriété. Lorsque je demande à mes filles de 11 à 16 ans ce qu'elles ont préféré, elles me parlent de la piscine de Podere Borgacciano! Nos hôtes ont été extraordinaires avant, pendant et après l'arrivée. Nous étions deux familles de 5 et la maison était bien assez grande! Un peu chaud à la cuisine mais nous avons majoritairement mangé dehors au pool house. Les chambres étaient bien climatisées. Quoi dire de plus? Nous étions chaque jours déchirée entre rester simplement èa la maison et aller visiter les environs! La maison est bien située. Tout près il ya Monterchi, Citerna, Anghiari qui valent toutes un détours matinal pour y prendre le lunch avant de revenir profiter de la majestueuse piscine pour le reste de l'après-Midi. Perouse et Assise sont aussi accessibles à environ une heure de route. Musée Civico de Sansepolcro tout près, très peu de touristes! Fabriques d'huile d'olive et petits vignobles où vous parlerez avec le vigneron lui-même! Pas d'attrape touristes dans les environs! Que du vrai! Merci à Danny et Jeanette pour tout! Nous sommes chanceux d'avoir séjourné chez vous!

The property was comfortable and had everything that was needed for our stay. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed spending our evenings sitting out at the pool area across from the house. We made full use of the poolside kitchen and barbecue area. Danny and Jeanette were very welcoming hosts and were extremely helpful when our hire car broke down on the way to the property and helped to quickly resolve a leak. Their knowledge and expertise of the local area meant that we had enriching experiences of the local culture and sights. We would recommend visiting this area to anyone. It is beautiful, tranquil and unspoilt and the places we visited were magical! We hope to return in the future.

Fantastic villa and experience in rural Tuscany
Our family had a wonderful time at this exceptional property located at the Tuscany/Umbria border. The house and accommodation are spacious and beautifully laid out. The views remarkable with multiple external spaces to sit all round the house in the beautiful garden, and wonderful fruit to pick (figs at the time we stayed). The pool area is absolutely amazing: wonderful 14 m pool with lovely setting and views, multiple seating areas and kitchen. I could say much more about the house. The setting is also wonderful with local villages, rich art and restaurants. The delightful owners Janette and Danny pointed us to what to do which included a wonderful outdoor music festival at Anghiari and a long walk of the local hills.

Peaceful and beautiful
There were six of us in our group and we all thoroughly enjoyed and made the most out of the beautiful grounds and pool area. It’s a great space for socialising and eating meals together, and we took advantage of the BBQ a few times too. While the kitchen has most of what you need, it’s quite a small space and does get very hot, so cooking was a bit stressful. Some things could also use a bit of updating, such as fixing the fridge and washing machine doors. We definitely suggest drinking the fantastic wine they have there! Janette and Danny were super helpful with any requests we had, and went out of their way to help us book a taxi. Thank you for the great stay!

Monterchi Paradise
My wife and I stayed with friends for a week at Podere Borgacciano in early July. The property is traditional Tuscan, with air conditioning in the bedrooms which was very welcome. The location had spectacular vistas across open countryside to hill top villages. The gardens are beautiful and well attended. In particular the pool area had a tremendous variety of butterflies and nectar seeking insect life on the lavender plants which kept us amused for ages. The pool location, again with great views over the countryside had the added bonus of having an equipped kitchen, barbeque and pizza oven and under cover eating area where we had most of our meals. All in all a very restful week spent at Podere Borgacciano to recharge the batteries.

Beautiful villa
My husband and I had a wonderful 9 days staying in this beautiful villa. This is the 6th house we have rented in Tuscany and our favorite. There are so many beautiful places to enjoy on the property. Directly across the street is the pool which is huge, a large pool patio and an outdoor kitchen. It was like having our own private resort. The owners stay directly next door when they are in Italy which was something new for us as our other rentals were completely private. However, we really enjoyed having them close by for several reasons. First, they are a wonderful couple to talk to, so nice and very interesting. Second, any time I had a question about something or needed advice, I could walk next door and ask. Even though they were close by, they were not the least bit intrusive and we had plenty of privacy. The views surrounding the villa were breathtaking and the location was very convenient. There was a small grocery store 5 minutes away and a number of good restaurants nearby. We just loved this place! Thank you Danny and Janette

What a lovely place and what a beautiful setting!
What a lovely place and what a beautiful setting! We had a fantastic week with our friends in and around the pool. The swimming pool is the most beautiful and largest pool we have ever had in a rented house. So wonderfully refreshing during the hot days. The view from the swimming pool and the house is breathtaking. And The many lavender in the garden smells fantastic. We have had many lazy days by the pool, but a visit to Arezzo is also recommended. Also nearby are plenty of nice picturesque villages to view. The owners Janet and Danny are super sweet and friendly people. They do everything to make your visit as pleasant as possible. They even welcomed us very kindly when we had a breakdown with our car. We will never forget this vacation! It was a very special one. Thank you again also on behalf of our friends.

Podere Bogacciano exceeded our expectations!. The property is just beautiful, with spots to sit and enjoy the views at every turn. The infinity pool and outdoor kitchen were wonderful. We hated to leave to explore the area. Pienza, Orvieto, Sansepulcro etc were great day trips. Monterchi is tiny but has two good restaurants and several places for coffee. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

We had barely landed back in Canada before we were discussing how and when we can return to Italy, and, more particularly, the villa Podere Borgacciano! We spent a week at the villa in early July 2019 and had the most wonderful time and experienced the most wonderful scenery and towns of this region of Tuscany. The day trips to Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona, Siena, Anghiari, Citerna, Sansepolcro, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, etc. were just fantastic. We would generally drive to these towns in the morning and return to villa in the late afternoon to enjoy the beautiful pool and some of the fine organic PB wine… who could ask for better!? The villa is lovely and we appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms, the ensuite bathrooms, and all the kitchen amenities! The gardens, patio and pool area are beautiful and well maintained and the views are breathtaking. We usually ate breakfast outside on the patio, enjoying the peace and quiet (but for the singing birds), cool and stillness of the morning, and the beautiful views of Monterchi. It was heaven on earth. We made several trips to Marcello’s market, and he was always warm and friendly and as helpful as he could be given our limited Italian. Our lively interactions with Marcello and his staff were always very enjoyable, though, as we were made to feel as welcome as all the locals who frequented his shop. Danny and Janette were lovely hosts. They provided us with a huge amount of information on the culture and history of the area, and introduced us to some lovely restaurants that we otherwise wouldn’t have experienced if not for their recommendations. We shared a dinner at the restaurant in Monterchi’s main piazza one evening, and as luck would have it, there was an outdoor concert in the piazza as well, which made for a magical evening under the Tuscan moon. We also had a lovely lunch with them at Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, another gorgeous medieval hill-top town we would probably not have known about if it wasn’t for Danny’s and Janette’s local insights.

Better than any pictures!
We had a wonderful time at Podere Borgacciano! Danny and Janette were absolutely amazing hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. The grounds are nothing short of spectacular. I would have been happy to stay there for the entire time, but we did venture out on day trips (Florence, Cortona/Arezzo, Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza...all easy drives). We made sure to take a few days to just relax at the house. Pool and hot tub area were wonderful and relaxing, and the movie selection for quiet nights was pretty great! Something for everyone! Highlights of our stay included a wonderful walk into Monterchi to explore for the day (it is an absolutely lovely town), the hospitality of Marcello's market, gelato and pizza at Bar Caronte, a home cooked meal by the lovely Graziella, and for the 6 year old... the chickens and looking for eggs. :) I booked this myself after researching and the reviews don't lie... it was truly amazing. One of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. Wouldn't hesitate to come back!!

Fantastic stay
First of all - the photos do not do this place justice. It is much more beautiful and scenic in real life ! We really enjoyed our week at the house. Is in a very quiet, beautiful part of the countryside. Completely void of tourists, but still plenty to do within a short drive. The house itself has everything you could want. The pool area is huge and amazing. Not quite warm enough for the pool when we were there, but made great use of the hot tub and other amenities including the ping pong table. The house has many sitting areas and views around the property. Great places to sit and admire the views with a glass of vino. Our 12 yr old daughter enjoyed all the extra touches that Janette & Danny have done including the trampoline, foosball table, and of course that hot tub. Also enjoyed checking the chooks for eggs each day. The local area had several hilltop villages that were worth visiting and even the ancient monastery of La Verna was not too far away and worth a visit. Couple of quick tips: Nearby restaurant of La Pieve Vecchia has beautiful reasonably priced food & wine, definitely our favourite. Also, if you are in the area on a Sunday , go to the local Monterchi market and get a porchetta roll (pork). They are delicious. Overall we had a fantastic time and would love to return one day.

A botanical garden straight out of a movie set; on a Tuscan hillside overlooking a fertile valley
The house, pool, house wine and amenities are five star. The experience was a two week blend of old Tuscan and 2018 life styles; featuring wood fired cooking on the property’s many hearths to the day trips to and through the hill towns and coastal cities within an easy drive, though sometimes made interesting by highway repairs. Overall, if you want quiet and recharging this is the place; if you want touring and finding your way into the heart of ancient Tuscany for a lunch, then this is the location. We did both and to come home after a morning tour to a beautiful spa experience at the pool was the perfect “taste” of Tuscany.

Possibly the best view in Italy!
From the moment we arrived at the farmhouse we were blown away by the absolutely stunning scenery from the property. We described the view from the house like looking at an oil painting and it never ceased to amaze us every time we looked out of the windows at home picture postcard the view was. We were lucky enough to see, on the first evening, two deer wandering through the garden. The house itself is also stunning, with a rustic charm and immaculate fittings and furnishings its easy to see how people would fall in love with this place. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and comfortable - with air-conditioning to all of the bedrooms and mosquito nets to all of the doors and windows throughout the house. A welcome pack or tea, coffee, milk, pasta, sauce, and home baked bread was a nice touch. Quality family time. We took lots of pool games and pool inflatables with us and spent the majority of our time enjoying the fantastic pool and pool house. The location was perfect for enjoying some peace and quiet, but also perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding picturesque towns and villages. The owners make this place a real "stand out" property. They live in the adjoining house and were there to meet us when we arrived. They gave us a tour of the house explaining everything we needed to know. Its clear to see that they are passionate about the house, gardens and local area. They were a wealth of knowledge suggesting the best places to shop, eat and visit. Genuinely lovely people who made us feel so welcome, they even invited us round to their house one evening where we enjoyed a few drinks and fascinating conversation. We'd highly recommend this house to everyone we know. Thank you Danny and Jeanette for a truly magical holiday in a location we'd love to visit again.

Amazing week in this amazing villa!
Sometimes the pictures on the internet make things look better than they are but this was not the case for this villa. It's hard to believe but it was even better than the pictures. The pool is beautiful with plenty of shade and the outdoor kitchen was perfect. Having Grazielle cook a pizza lunch and then a steak florentine dinner were the highlights of our trip. She and her friend couldn't have been more gracious and the homemade food was by far better than any restaurant we went to while in Italy. Sitting at the outdoor patio and looking out at the Tuscan hills while eating was truly magical. We slept each night with our windows wide open enjoying the wonderful hillside breezes. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated that there were en suite bathrooms for each of the three bedrooms. We fed the chickens and wandered through the beautiful gardens taking in the lavender and enjoying fresh tomatoes and basil. There were six of us and we had to force ourselves to explore other parts of Italy while there as all we wanted to do was stay at the villa the whole time. Our hosts were wonderful checking in to make sure that we had everything we needed. We were so grateful for the bottle of wine, pasta and bread that were there waiting for us the first night as we got there late and were hungry. This was the highlight of many trips over the years and we're already trying to figure out when we can go back and stay longer!! Loved everything about our week in this wonderful villa!!

Family time in beautiful relaxing surroundings
We just had the most wonderful relaxing week at Podere Borgacciano. It is such a charming beautiful place, in a beautiful area of Italy. The place has the most stunning views over Tuscany to one side and Umbria to the other side. Our kids loved to go feed the chickens in the back yard and see if they had laid any eggs. The Pizza lunch made by Graziella at the outdoor kitchen by the pool was such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and the kids loved to see and get involved in the pizza making. We had the great pleasure of meeting Danny and Janette, who are an amazing couple. They where so welcoming and helpful, and it was so interesting to hear their story about the place. We can only give our best recommendations to the place. It is the perfect place to relax, enjoy some family time and the Italian life style.

Stunning and absolutely perfect.
We have had the most fantastic holiday at Podere Borgacciano. We hadn't visited this area before, and had been attracted by the photographs on the listing. The photos were superb to tempt us....the reality is even more fabulous than we thought possible! We are a family of 5, having spent a week sightseeing in Rome and Florence, and so were in need of some rest and relaxation. This did not disappoint. The farmhouse is superbly laid out, very comfortable and exceptionally clean. There is air conditioning to each bedroom which was very welcome for a stay in July. The farmhouse is set over 3 floors with very generous bedrooms and an en suite to each room. The house has stunning views across the valley; the ground floor bedroom opens on to a stunning terrace and the fabulous grounds - full of the most beautiful and scented flowers. The smell of the gardens is something I'll never forget, it was wonderful. There is a selection of terraces and patio areas to enjoy - we spent our evenings sitting out watching the sunset. The grounds are well maintained, but also completely natural - with flowers, fruit brushes, olive grove and more surrounding the property. The swimming pool area is also fabulous - with its well equipped brick built kitchen area, shower and toilet, and the pizza oven and barbecue - we would spend our days there. The swimming pool is superb, an excellent size. And there is a selection of areas to enjoy - if you like the full sun, there are sun loungers around the pool; if you fancy some shade there are comfortable outdoor sofas in good shade. Our children enjoyed the table tennis table, trampoline and swings so much - and of course the hot tub was a big hit. Danny and Janette are the best hosts. They were close by when we needed anything, but also entirely private. Nothing was too much trouble, and there were plenty of details of places to visit ready for us in the house. The details of how to find the house were fantastic too, so much thought to make things easy. We enjoyed the town of Monterchi - with its lovely and friendly supermarket, pharmacy, bank and couple of restaurants, and a Sunday market. There are beautiful villages nearby - we didn't visit enough, and so gives us the perfect excuse to return! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay at this superb home, a week certainly wasn't long enough. Thank you Danny and Janette, and we do hope to return!
