“Beautiful historic setting, warm welcome frim attentive and responsive owners”

We traveled with my mother who uses a walker and sometimes a wheelchair. The owners were so kind and helpful in making her stay safe and accessible. The rustic outdoor grill was so fun to have. The salt water pool is just fantastic

Comfort: It was very hot at night, even in September. Fans in the bedrooms would have been nice. Kitchen : a larger pan or casserole with lid to cook things like a whole fish or chicken for a group. Terrace: shrubs are a bit overgrown and could be trim to improve views and air circulation

The owners were extremely accommodating, greeting us on arrival, giving us recommendations, and booking restaurants and tours for us. The accommodation was charming and comfortable and the pool a welcome amenity in the Tuscan heat. The tranquil setting was spectacular and the perfect base to explore all that Tuscany offers. This was our third time staying, and we can't wait to return. Grazie mille Lucca, Fortunato, and Gisella

“Highlight of our Tour Through Italy!”

Wow, was this stay perfect! My wife and I were celebrating our twenty-fifth anniversary, and we were joined by another couple. During our three-week tour of Italy, we stayed in Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre, Sorrento, and here in Tuscany. Our stay here was the highlight! Lucca, Luccia, Gisele, and Fortunato were perfect hosts - gracious, helpful, and very easy to work with before and during our stay. The apartment was spacious and had all amenities. The grounds, pool, and nearby area were heavenly. The location was within one hour of pretty much everything in Tuscany. And the highlight of highlights was our cooking class with Mamma!

Owners take care of their guests, take time to tell their family story and are very much available when needed.

Wifi was working in bedroom only with some phones. It would have been nice to use the bicycle to cycle through the surrounding wineyards and olive trees. Unfortunately available bikes were to small for us.

La pulizia a base di prodotti all'aceto la eviterei. Quando si entra in appartamento l'odore è forte e ci mette qualche giorno a sparire con tutte le finestre aperte.

“We will certainly recommend this place !”

A wonderful environment of nature, olive trees, fig trees and vineyards, peace, quietness, beautiful view of the surroundings, staying in the original farm buildings well adapted for guests with several centuries of history. Comfortable, large and clean swimming pool, nice barbecue areas and safe covered parking. Comfortable, large apartment rooms, well-equipped bathrooms and a kitchen for self-catering. A fantastic host, providing all the information and suggesting good opportunities to spend time in the surroundings and in the entire region. Access to restaurants and shopping in nearby towns within a few minutes by car.

a bit poor (as per our needs) Internet connection inside of the rooms , while very good in the other common areas (like swimming pool) , but the host is doing much to improve this situation.

“Cadre magique, propriétaires serviables et attentionnés”

9.1 Read the complete review

Logements tres bien équipés et tres propres. Belle piscine et équipements collectifs (barbecues...) au rdv. Une region tellement belle ou les villes et leurs trésors comme Sienne, Florence, Montepulciano, Arezzo vous laisseront sans voix.... Tous les conseils de Lucas sont précieux et les adresses de bonne table dans les environs proches sont nombreuses.

La description du logement laissait penser que nous aurions eu un peu plus d'intimité au niveau de notre espace extérieur. Effectivement, certains gites sont positionnés autour d'une cour centrale ou tout le monde vit avec tout le monde. Cela ne nous aurait pas dérangé mais les familles voisines étaient trop bruyantes et peu respectueuses (jeux et cris d'enfants jusqu'à tres tard le soir et adolescents discutant sous vos fenêtres toute la nuit...) Il faut dire que cette année particulièrement nous aspirions à plus de calme d'ou notre déception à ce niveau. Suggestion pour Lucas : prevoir des ventilateurs en nombre suffisant pour les jours de canicule comme nous avons vécu cet été.

“A lovely view over a special part of Tuscany.”

8.1 Read the complete review

- The location is incredible. Forests, olives, wine, game, tranquility. - The pool is a nice touch, though bracing. - The owners are extraordinarily attentive, available and sweet.

It is important to say that the positives far outweigh the negatives. This was precisely what we were looking for and most of the downsides relate to nice-to-haves. - There are a lot of amenities at this place, but not all are in optimal condition. The TV was present but with only a handful of active channels, the internet was spotty, the bicycles are mostly unrideable.

The view! The isolated location of the romantic cottage on the hill was just perfect, having the swimming pool within walking distance to cool down. The wildlife (wild boars, crickets,, foxes, rabbits, etc) and BBQ equipment,

May be just some mosquitos spoiling sitting and reading outside at night, but in the dark you could watch the stars instead and listen to the sounds of the surrounding woods

“5 giorni di relax puro”

Un borgo tranquillo a pochi minuti d'auto da Siena. L'agriturismo si compone di tanti grandi appartamenti e zone verdi a volontà, in cui leggere e rilassarsi, sentieri in cui utilizzare le biciclette fornite dalla struttura, barbecue per grigliare in giardino; a completare il tutto, una piscina con vista sulle colline toscane, incorniciata da lavanda e ulivi. Il posto perfetto per rigenerarsi lontano dalla città, senza inerpicarsi troppo. Fortunato e la sua famiglia sono stati disponibili per ogni esigenza, facendoci sentire a casa. È veramente un posto consigliato, in cui sicuramente ritorneremo!

“Pace e confort in compagnia delle rondini”

Casa in pietra locale in un delizioso borgo immerso nel verde; l'appartamento Sofia è arredato con gusto e con tutti i confort, ambienti ampi, con un bagno per ogni camera. Piacevole anche il giardino con tavolo per mangiare all'esterno e barbecue ( che però non abbiamo usato). Abbiamo apprezzato molto il silenzio e la compagnia delle rondini. L'agriturismo ha diversi appartamenti , è ideale per chi vuole viaggiare con amici o in diverse famiglie. È 15 minuti di macchina da Rapolano terme e in posizione baricentrica per visitare la Toscana Orientale. Il proprietario si è mostrato cordiale, disponibile e ci ha consigliato degli ottimi posti dove andare a mangiare.

Non abbiamo potuto godere della piscina, ma sarà un'ottima scusa per tornarci!

“Heaven in Tuscany”

We recently spent one month in Tuscany on a hilltop in an ancient village. This farmhouse is expertly run and wonderfully comfortable. It has all of the modern amenities, including wifi internet, a welcoming pool and deck, very comfortable apartments with full kitchens and cozy beds. We used our apartment as home base where we then took train trips to Florence, Venice and Cinque Terra. The train station was only thirty minutes away and had safe free parking for our trips. We were in major cities and always returned to the incredible solitude and beauty of this property. It was a perfect combination of the sites in Italy and the quiet reverence of a hilltop in Tuscany. By far the most incredible aspect was the warm, knowledgeable caring treatment we received from the proprietors Fortunato and Gisella. We toured their home with the wine cellar, we drank their incredible chianti and ''olive juice'' as Fortunato called it. We cannot express how wonderful our stay was and cannot wait to return to the heaven on the hilltop.

Pour nous, il n'y a rien de négatif, sinon nous n'y retournerions pas quasiment chaque année.

Rien de spécial à conseiller à Gisella et Fortunato, les charmants propriétaires qui nous accueillent chaque fois tellement chaleureusement et veillent, sans s'imposer, à nous offrir un séjour agréable.

“Wonderful Tuscan Holiday”

Borgo Rapale is perfectly situated to see Tuscany. On its own, it's a picturesque little village located in the heart of it all. Fortunato and Gisella were wonderful hosts and our apartment was a perfect fit. We especially appreciated the tour of the grounds by Fortunato to give us some of the history of the villa/town.

Borgo Rapale puts you in a position for short drives to Florence (north), Siena/San Gimignano (west), Montepulciano/Montalcino (south) and Cortona/Arezzo (east). We unexpectedly ran into the "palio" of the palle (balls) in Ambra on Sunday September 10th. Patterned after the palio in Siena, but with 5 teams racing through town pushing large balls . . . it was an unexpected little treat. We look forward to a return trip to Borgo Rapale in the future.

Ambra 545 is our favourite place in Italy. The location and amenities are great but enhanced more because of the amazing hosts, Fortunato and Gisella. They make you feel part of the family, and bring the history of the borgo to life.

The charming hosts who seem to attract a clientele who all appreciate the rural charm and tranquillity and respect other guests privacy and enjoyment.

A slightly slow internet connection which Fortunato was attending to. Over the years the garden has become a little unkempt, but this only adds to the rural feel and encourages children to play without the fear of damaging anything. The crockery, glasses and cutlery could do with updating, although it was adequate for our needs. In hotter weather, without air conditioning fans would be a welcome addition to the living and bedrooms. could be supplied for the bedrooms

If you are adventurous and fit this is great countryside for hiking or mountain biking. However if you want to chill out away from it all this is a great place to do so.

Очаровательное место в сердце Тосканы с замечательными, милыми, гостеприимными хозяевами, старинным домом, потрясающими видами, красивой природой. В доме абсолютная чистота, прекрасная мебель, отличная посуда. Все удобно, комфортно, атмосферно. Каждый уголок, каждая деталь красивы. Незабываемая панорама. Воздух. Звезды. Тишина.

Очень удобное расположение, можно быстро доехать и до Сиены, и до Ареццо. Обязательно попросите хозяев дать адрес остерии в городке Арма, погуляйте между олив и виноградников, пожарьте мясо в удобной печи для барбекю во дворе.

They went beyond the call of duty to assist us when we had a bust tire. We interrupted their family lunch, which they invited us to join as we waited for the tow truck to take our car for repair.

A really, relaxed, comfortable place to stay with the family. Do yourself a favour and go experience yourself. If it's people and culture that tend to make your holidays great, then you will be happy with this place!
