Off the beaten path!!
The villa was a fantastic opportunity to get away from the hustle of city life. The local town was old world and friendly. The restaurant, La Toppa, was amazing. The owner of the restaurant & villa ands his family was very friendly, responsive and helpful. Wonderful stay in Tuscany.

Tuscan retreat
The villa was spacious, clean and well-supplied for my family. Luigi, our host, was always accessible, especially as the family owns a wonderful restaurant in town - which we also highly recommend. A car is a must, however.

Excellent location & home away from home
With just a short walk to town (San Donato), you have fantastic restaurants including La Toppa, bar and small supermarket. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed dinner at La Toppa, fantastic food and the pizza restaurant in town was excellent too. It is a short drive to other villages, Siena approximately 30 minutes away. The house is homely and relaxing. We had a fantastic enjoyable relaxing stay.

Older but great location
Big house with recently updated bathrooms, great water pressure and showers. Nice period decor and privacy. Secure parking through gated area. Property was musty smelling and needed to be aired out before our arrival. Outdoor area, including furniture needed upkeep. Host was quick to respond to our needs and his family owns an excellent restaurant in town. The location is perfect for exploring Chianti.

Family Get Together in Tuscany
This property was exactly as advertised, perfectly equipped for six people. The location was great with easy access to Pisa, San Gimignano, Florence, Siena and Montepulciano. Luigi was a wonderful host, including a memorable evening at his La Toppa restaurant. Definitely a place to consider for a family vacation in Tuscany.

A wonderful stay!
This is a large, very comfortable house in a great location. It is in a quiet setting but a mere 5 minute trip to San Donato if you require anything. Luiggi and his family are wonderful hosts supplying information and assistance when asked and their restaurant, La Toppa’ was excellent. They made us feel very comfortable. In town the barista at ‘Bar Pieri’ makes the best coffee we’ve had anywhere and the prepared foods at ‘Macelleria Parti’ were delicious and very handy. I highly recommend La Casa Pineta and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Luiggi.

Amazing holiday in Tuscany
A wonderful villa, very clean, spacious and comfortable, the pool was amazing and everything exceeded our expectations. Luigi and Otello were great hosts and we enjoyed a lovely meal at their restaurant. Would definitely recommend this villa and if we ever return to Tuscany there is no doubt - we would return to this villa. Thanks for a brilliant week!

Great place to stay in a lovely area.
This property is in a great location for visiting some of the gems of Tuscany. Florence, Siena and Vinci can all be reached in less than an hour and we also enjoyed visiting the ‘in Chianti’ towns. The villa is clean, well equipped and there is plenty of room for six adults to stay comfortably. The pool area is lovely and a perfect place to relax after a day sightseeing or wine tasting. San Donato is a lovely little town and only about 10 to 15 minutes safe strole from the villa. There are a number of good bars and restaurants to visit there. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit Babereno Tavarnelle again!

Fabulous holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - great location with easy access to A1 so able to visit places such as Florence and Siena. The villa itself was lovely in a peaceful location with a great pool of which we made good use. Luigi responded very quickly to the couple of problems we had. We also enjoyed a great meal at his restaurant in the village so would definitely recommend that. All in all I have no hesitation in recommending this villa.

Magical week in Tuscany
The Villa Tavarnelle Val di Pesa was perfect for our group of 3 couples . The location is an ideal spot tucked away in the woods yet 5 minutes from the beautiful village of San Donato de Poggia. Day trips exploring Tuscany and its medieval mountain topped towns were easy to accomplish and The Villa is easy to find from the airport in Florence. For 6 days we explored new spots in Tuscany. The pool is the perfect way to refresh yourselves after a long day of exploration. It is long enough to swim laps. The owner Luigi speaks English well. He was very helpful and showed great concern for all of our needs. The beautiful home is larger than we anticipated. 3 very large bedrooms and 2 very large living rooms gave everyone a spot to relax. We did not cook but the small to medium sized kitchen is well stocked and one could do so. We chose to sit on the patio and enjoy wine, cheeses, delicate prosciutto, fresh fruit and fresh anchovies!!!! when we ate at the villa. There is also a small kitchen on the lower level .We ate 3 times at La Toppa Restaurant ...the family restaurant in town. As a vegetarian I really loved the garlic spaghetti. The rest of the group feasted upon thick steaks, rabbit, wild boar and all types of pastas. (I too tasted all the delicious meats!) We did not make a reservation but we were able to be seated at a lovely outdoor table with great service. Please call ahead to reserve a table as a courtesy to the family The restaurant is very popular. The staff speaks English as well. I would absolutely reccomend Villa Tavarnelle Val de Pesa to anyone and hope to return again.

Wonderfully quiet villa ideally located for day trips
Property is exactly as pictured, located five minutes from the A1 and a great location for all daily exploring. San Donato is a lovely little village with two fantastic restaurants (including the owner’s), a pizzeria, and both a grocery store and wine /market shop. It was unusually cool for May so we were happy to have the heaters in our bedrooms. Owner provides lots of nice towels and even pool towels. Luigi was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with via text.

A very comfortable place to stay while exploring the Tuscany region.
This house is completely equipped for giving you a home away from home. The House and grounds are representative of a Tuscan villa, and as a bonus there is the wonderful in-ground pool to relax by after each day's adventures. Owner's Otello and Luigi are great hosts, and they are also the proprietors of La Toppa Restaurant in nearby San Donato (a must to have dinner while there!). We highly recommend choosing this wonderful home as your base for exploring Tuscany... you won't want too leave!

Big compound and well equipped for comfortable stay
House is decorated with Victorian ornaments and homely feel that the family could relax, chill on the porch, enjoy the pool (weather permitting), snuggle in the living or playroom. Lots of space for everyone yet designed to do things together. The food served at LA Toppa (minutes away), owned by the house owner was very tasty and we enjoyed our meals there. Especially the Ossobuco. Yummy!

Our dream came true!
IF YOU INTEND ON VISITING THIS REGION, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!!!! We cannot say enough about the villa and our hosts! The villa was spotless, authentic, comforting and had everything we wanted as our home-base. It's perfectly located 3 minutes from the village and to all major roads. What made our stay and our entire vacation extra special was being able to meet and talk with our host Luigi and his family! Always having time to talk and smile, he gave us great tips on where to go and how to get there. Dining at his restaurant, La Toppa, in the village was something I will never forget in my life- the food, the wine and most of all, the way he and his family treated us (and all customers)! Their sincerity, generosity and ability to create and serve food and wine is a form of art, not a business. We can only hope that we have the chance to return to this villa in the future!

Our holiday at San Donato in Poggio
It has been a fabulous holiday because Luigi, the restaurant staff and the connection of the old town made us feel very much part of the local community and not just tourists. The villa is in a great location to tour and see all the major sites but as important to us has been the realisation of a holiday dream that kept us going through many stressful weeks at work! It will always be very special holiday for us! Regards Roger & Cathy

Lovely, relaxing villa near San Donato
The villa is situated in a quiet location outside the small village of San Donato. Pool is an excellent size. Villa was very clean and well maintained. The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning- it might be nice in future to have fans available as it's very hot at night. Overalll, we had a great stay!

Wonderful, relaxing place.
This place was a wonderful respite after a busy tour of Sicily. Very relaxing in a beautiful settting. Luigi and Otello, his father, could not have been more welcoming. We spent our days visiting small towns around San Donato and eating 4 times at La Toppa (the restaurant they own). I loved every minute of it. We will definitely be back.

Italian charm, clean, spacious villa; beautiful, private setting (no view); not for foodies who cook
Villa is beautiful and in a lovely, private setting. Furniture is typical rental mish-mash; mattresses are firm. WIFI was functional only two of the seven days. If you plan to cook a lot like we did, the kitchen was barely adequate. Coffee maker was old and there isn't a lot of counter space. No pantry to stuff your groceries. In the heat of the summer, with no screens, no A/C and only one portable fan, expect lots of biting bugs because you have to open up the doors and windows to cool down the house to sleep. (The villa is surrounded by trees, so one should expect bugs; scorpions, cicadas- there are ants galore outside.) Also I found it annoying to charge separately (in cash) for electricity - just include it in the weekly rate. Expect a dirt /gravel road near the villa. You have to empty the garbage at community cans down the dirt/gravel road. Pool was great - not heated - but in the heat of summer, no heat needed. At minimum in a rental I would expect at least some garbage bags, dish soap (there was a some dish soap when we arrived), hand soap and a clean scrubber, which there weren't. We left a bunch of garbage bags in the villa for future renters. There was not a garbage can in the kitchen. Nice to have a clothes washer (detergent not provided.) It would be a nice extra touch if the owners provided info about the surrounding area, info about the town, things to do nearby, nearby markets, etc. Owners come to clean the pool and water flowers during the stay...nice people.
