Vacation rentals in Casentino

We loved our stay here!! The view is absolutely beautiful. The apartment had everything we needed and it was super clean. There is also a train station right down the road for an easy train ride into Florence if that is something you are wanting to do. Would definitely recommend staying here!

5 Stars – A Tuscan Dream Come True! Our stay at Francesco’s private resort-style retreat in the hills of Tuscany was absolutely magical. The location is stunning—peaceful, picturesque, and the perfect escape into the beauty of the Italian countryside. The rustic room had so much charm and comfort, and the property itself was amazing, with not one but two beautiful pools to relax by. One of the highlights was the on-site restaurant. The free breakfast was far beyond the typical offering—not just muffins, but a full, authentic Italian breakfast that we looked forward to each morning. Dinner was just as impressive, showcasing delicious local flavors and warm hospitality. It was also a great jumping-off point for exploring the region—we took a lovely day trip to Siena with ease. This place is a hidden gem, and we’d return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Tuscany!

Wir wurden von Lavinia und Marco persönlich und sehr nett mit einem Korb mit Wein, Kaffee und Naschzeug, sowie Wasser und Sekt empfangen und überall herumgeführt. Der Garten ist sehr groß mit einem wundervollen Blick ins Tal. Es gibt riesige Bäume, sodass man immer im Schatten ist. Auch das Haus hat uns begeistert. Es ist wunderschön mit sehr großen Räumen und tollen Kasettendecken. Marco kam auch mal vorbei und hat uns die uralte Zisterne gezeigt, die unter dem Garten angelegt ist. Er war auch sehr hilfreich als sich unser Hund davon geschlichen hat, wofür wir sehr dankbar sind. Sein Vater kam auch einmal und hat uns Erdbeeren gebracht. In der Nähe gibt es sehr gute Restaurants, vor allem Rossobirra ist zu empfehlen. Dienstags ist Markttag bis 13 Uhr im unteren Teil von Poppi, und das Café gleich neben der Unterkunft ist immer ein Besuch wert. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und können es nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Joana’s apartment is incredible. We love the style and furniture, everything is thought of down to the smallest detail. Her communication is really prompt and so helpful. Poppi is the most beautiful place and now holds a very special place in our hearts. We feel very lucky to have found such a great place to stay in such a lovely apartment.

How can we even put into words what an incredible experience this was! Antonella was kind and helpful, and her home is just stunning. She made us feel so at home even with our limited Italian. She prepared us a home cooked, four-course meal one night and it was absolutely delicious. She even gave us the leftovers so we could have them for breakfast the next day. The villa was breathtaking and in a perfect location to visit beautiful towns in Tuscany like Pienza, Montepulciano and San Gimignano. We especially loved the pool and visiting with the animals. This was a bucket list stay for us and worth every penny!

Das Cottage ist wundervoll. Es ist alles da, was man braucht, es ist perfekt zum entspannen und man kann sich jederzeit im Pool abkühlen. Lucrezia und ihre Familie sind toll, man erlebt die italienische Gastfreundschaft, vor allem bei dem wundervollen Dinner. Danke für alles, es war eine unvergessliche Urlaubswoche.

Staying with Matteo and his family was such a pleasure. Don’t miss out on dinner, Matteo is a fantastic cook and the view from the terrace is unbeatable. I took a beautiful hike straight from the house, and they were super flexible about picking me up from the train station. It was the perfect oasis after the bustle of Firenze. Thanks for everything! Hope to be back soon!

Podere le Corticelle exceeded every expectation we had — and then some! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel like part of the family. The host went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, offering thoughtful recommendations and making sure every detail of our stay was just right. The house itself is immaculate — spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and filled with charming touches that reflect the Tuscan countryside. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable, from the cozy linens to the spacious layout that gave us plenty of room to relax and unwind. Every corner of the home felt intentional and inviting. We especially loved waking up to the peaceful surroundings. It truly felt like a retreat. If you’re looking for an authentic, relaxing, and comfortable escape in Tuscany with a host who truly cares, Podere le Corticelle is the place. We can’t wait to return.
