Stayed there for a week in April 2019 with my family. Thieves came to the villa during our 5th night and entered our rooms. Took money and jewelry. I have 2 kids 5 and 8 years old. The manager/owner didnt offer any help or assistance. We had to file a complaint by ourselves in the nearest police station. We suspect it was an inside job because the thieves knew exactly where to go and what to open. The villa is located in a remote place. You can not lock all the doors and there are no security cameras. Traumatic experience.

We stayed there for a week with the entire family and young kids. We were robbed in the middle of the night, while we were sleeping and big amounts of money and jewelry were taken. The thieves entered our rooms and we suspect these were the cleaners because they knew exactly were to look. The owners didn't take any responsibility. Very UNSAFE, SCARY and not recommended!

We had a group of 18 visiting Tuscany and this villa was amazing. The rooms were great and everyone had their own space. The views around the villa were spectacular. It was a short drive to nearest town to get groceries. We really enjoyed the pool also. The only thing that could have been better was the internet access. We needed the internet to make some confirmations for other parts of the trip and it just did not work at all. Overall though we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Nel pieno della toscana classica appartamenti immersi nel verde. Relax di buon gusto con affitti settimanali. Ottimo staff che non ti lasciano mai solo.

The villa is not bad if everything runs smoothly but while we were there there was a electricity shortage which resulted in us being without electric and water for nearly 8 hours!!!!!!! They have no back up generator for such events and when we contacted the hotel there was no customer recovery service offered which we found very poor... Not to be able to use the toilet or wash was very frustrating no offer of even using the hotel facility just a lame excuse that these things happen. Also you need to bare in mind that there is a lack of sufficient sun beds by the pool chairs yes but if you all wanted to lay down you can forget it. There are nice places around to eat but you have to have a car as it is all quite far away. Personally I have been left very disappointed and will not be recommended it to my friends or colleagues.

I wasn't sure I should tell anyone about this delightful estate, and simply keep it a secret. Three trips in four years and certain to return. There are numerous delightful properties spread over a sprawling estate near Montaione. There is a variety of accommodation, catering for families in three bedroom 'townhouses'..(nothing like you think a townhouse looks like !), through to luxury villas for bigger parties. All have a shared pool, and most pools have a much needed loggia. This is classic Tuscan countryside, and ideally situated between all the major Tuscan attractions. Train from Castlefiorentino will take you to Florence (simply easier than the hassle of driving and parking (esp in summer)) and car journeys will get you anywhere you could think of visiting within a two hour radius. The estate is well run, and Sarah the English speaking manager and her staff are excellent. Local supermarket is a ten minute drive away, yet could be on another planet in terms of how the scenery changes within only five kilometers. Total seclusion !. You will need a car. Driving in Tuscany, apart from in the big cities, is relaxed, and Pisa airport is an easy one hour drive away. Our teenagers loved the place, which is a huge testament. Simply enjoy.

Our family has been coming to Fattoria Santo Sefano since 2005. We first discover this place after a Mediterranean cruise ending in Rome. We were very nervous renting a house sight unseen (there were some pictures of the property on their website) not being familiar with the area at all, we took a leap of faith....and have been coming every spring/summer ever since. Sarah Phillips (a very charming no nonsenspe British lady) is the manager/concierge) has been living in Italy for years and knows about everything that goes on in the area and is unbilievebly helpful in all manners necessary to a newbie to this area . Florence is 45 minutes away on the Fi/Pi/ Li ( the hi way running from Florence to Pisa/Livorno. Fattoria Santo Stefano is compromised of single family luxury villas to multi family complexes to vacation apartment cottages. We always stay in the villas because its very convinient for our adult children and friends to share. All the property are very well maintained ( nice, modern bathroom in suites, modern kitchen and appliances. The nearby towns have great country restaurants and groceries stores. This place is unique, tranquil and convenient to a great many Tuscan sights!!!!
