Beautiful, peaceful location with air conditioning, a refreshing pool, and amazing wine. Watching hot air balloons drift over the hills made it unforgettable!
Our family loved il Bacio, the accommodation had everything we needed and the location a few kms from the nearest town was perfect. Franco, Sonia and Giulia made us feel welcome and regular visits from Maya the golden retriever made us less homesick for our pup at home. Not to mention the delicious organic wine we were fortunate enough to have a tasting. If youâre looking for a Tuscan holiday, I would thoroughly recommend.
5 stars all around! Gorgeous property owned by a sweet family in an excellent location. Rent a car to tour local villages and make time to enjoy property. They do a lovely wine tasting experience! Added bonus were all the animals that our kids loved. Look forward to visiting again!
We very much enjoyed staying in this nice cottage. Many interesting places in Tuscany are very close by and our daughter always looked forward to coming back to see all the nice animals ;-)
We can't say enough good things about our stay. Our daughters loved the animals and being able to walk around the grounds, and for my husband and I, the only thing better than their wine, was the genuine kindness and hospitality.
Our family of 5 (two adults, 3 children) had a great stay. Location is great for exploring the area...Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca are all within an hour or so. The house and farm itself are authentic and beautiful. The kids loved the donkeys, chickens, and especially Maia the dog (who came to hang out regularly) andthe cats, Dante and Prettina.
We started our two week Italy vacation at Il Bacio. It was an incredibly relaxing way to begin. We had a rental car to make trips to the market (Coop in Tabarnelle Val Di Pesa) and side trips to Florence, Antinori Vineyard and Montalcino. The pool was a cool retreat on our warm September days. The visiting pets made us feel right at home! Our hosts were helpful and we enjoyed exploring their vineyard and the wine tasting. We spent most of our time under the pergola/dining table with coffee in the mornings and appertivo/dinner in the evenings. We like to cook and the property was well equipped for it. Highly recommend this authentic Tuscan retreat.
We enjoyed everything about our stay at the apartment. The views across the valley were incredible. The apartment is clean and well maintained. The location is perfect for day trips to Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca and more. We would love to stay again next time we take a trip to Tuscany. Sonia and Franco were fantastic hosts. This is exactly the relaxing quiet vacation stop we were looking for.
Sonja und ihre Familie sind herzliche Gastgeber, stets erreichbar und hilfsbereit. Das Weingut liegt ausgesprochen schön und ruhig mit groĂem Pool und vielen SchattenplĂ€tzen im gepflegten Garten. Das Appartement fĂŒr sechs war komplett ausgestattet einschlieĂlich SpĂŒlmaschine (und gemeinschaftlicher Waschmaschine samt HĂ€ngeleinen u BĂŒgeleisen). In 20 Jahren Italienurlaub hatten wir noch nie ein Quartier mit so hochwertiger und gepflegter Ausstattung, Gastgeber, die auch flieĂend Englisch sprechen und eine WLAN Verbindung, die sogar am Pool funktioniert. Unsere schottischen "Nachbarn" waren zum 8. Mal da - und wir werden bestimmt auch wieder hinfahren. Nach Siena, Florenz oder Volterra ist es nur ein Katzensprung und die Radler der Familie sind von Il Bacio aus nach Greve, San Gimignano oder Castellina in Chianti, die Wanderer durch EichenwĂ€lder zur Badia di Passignano oder entlang der Pesa auf dem sentiero Romanea. Der Abschied fiel uns schwer.
If youâve ever dreamt of walking into the postcard beauty of rolling hills covered in vineyards, olive orchards, and stunning villas all under a gorgeous Tuscan sky, this is the place to stay! Excellent accommodations, a tranquil pool area, and the nicest hosts you can imagine all make staying here a trip relaxing and comfortable. Fresh bread each morning courtesy of the hosts, great prices on their wines, and friendly donkeys are great perks as well.
The nearby town of Tavernelle Val di Pesa has all the amenities youâd want and there are many amazing restaurants a short drive from the property. We make staying here part of every trip to the area!
Friendly and helpful hosts who gave us ideas about where to go and what to see in the area. Comfortable lodging with a full kitchen. Only downside was spotty cell service and WiFi. Would definitely recommend.
I was completely blown away at the beauty of the property and more importantly the hosts. They were extremely hospitable and assisted us 4 ladies with our bags, showing us parts of the town to visit including directions to the local grocery store. In addition was so kind as to show us the process of making wine including grape picking!! Truly exceeded the Tuscany experience I was hoping to have đđ
The property is very well kept, very clean and has such an authentic feel. The owners, Sonia and Franco, made us very welcome and the animals roaming the farm kept the children entertained.
The pool was kept very clean, the views from the villa were excellent and the location could not have been better for all the places we wanted to visit.
Franco gave us a tasting of the homegrown and produced wine, which was excellent.
Overall could not fault a single aspect of the stay at this lovely villa. The only problem we had was with the brutal mosquitos which was partly due to our unpreparedness and a problem that the owners can't really do anything about.
Insgesamt entsprach das Objekt voll unseren Erwartungen. Leider konnten wir nicht zusammen in einer Unterkunft ĂŒbernachten, wie anfĂ€nglich reserviert und hatten zwei Apartments. Aber das war letztlich nicht so schlimm.
Sehr sauberer und gepflegter Pool. Freundliche Gastgeber. Danke fĂŒr die frischen Brötchen jeden Morgen und den Wein und das Olivenöl zur BegrĂŒĂung.
The perfect Tuscan property, understated, in striking distance to many Tuscan towns, but away from the tourist mayhem. And reasonably priced. Sonia and Franco are true gentle souls.

Beautiful chianti hills stay
We stayed 4 nights at Il Bacio. My wife, two adult children and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a 3 bedroom apartment that was just the perfect size for us. There is a nice little kitchen so we could make breakfast every morning. Sonia had eggs, fruit, bread and olive oil waiting for us per our request as we arrived late in the evening.
The views are incredible, the owners warm and inviting and the apartment was tastefully decorated. We enjoyed tasting their organic olive oil and wine, as well as touring the countryside. There is a grocery store in town as well as a fantastic pizzeria, Il Fornace. We were hardly there during the day, seeing as much as we could, but it was great to come back to wonderful views and sunsets and some informal wine tasting.
We hoep to be back some day!
We loved our stay. A highlight of our trip. Sonia and Franco were amazing hosts ! They made a restaurant reservation for us, gave us our own personal wine tasting and made us feel so very welcome.
Beautiful! We really loved it. The morning walks are breathtaking.
One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the property and the sunsets so much we decided to just cook dinner there every night and enjoy the Il Bacio wine. Franco and Sonia are two of the nicest people you will ever meet.
