Family-friendly vacation rentals in Marina di Castagneto Carducci

This was our second time at Il Vichiaccio and I hope it's not the last. In fact, this Airbnb is the entire reason we had Tuscany on our trip itinerary. Beatrice and Massimo are the most wonderful hosts in the world. Besides simply being great people to chat with, they are hospitable in providing some of their homemade wine and eggs. There's nothing more special than relaxing in the hot tub with the vineyard views and walking up the hill to dinner at Il Cavaliere in the castle. Our only complaint is that we did not see the kitty cat this time! She was our favorite host when we visited 3 years ago. Oh well, I guess we'll have to book again soon and try once more :)

My friends and I celebrated New Year's Eve in this farmhouse surrounded by Tuscan nature. The house and garden are beautiful! The hosts were impeccable and responsive to our every request. I would recommend it for a quiet stay with friends. We found some bugs but the hosts were very kind and made us have an insecticide spray.

Isabella is a nice and helpful person, she welcomed us to her beautiful villa and immediately put us at ease. Great tips on places to visit and where to eat. The accommodation has all the comforts, beautiful salt pool, unfortunately not available since the season has not yet started. I'll definitely be back, thanks for everything Isabella!

Beautiful spot in a peaceful setting. Gloria was a fantastic host. We had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful and cosy place located at a convenient location. We enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

Beatrice was a wonderful host and accommodating of our needs traveling with a two year old. She was very responsive and gave amazing recommendations for places to eat and visit. The location is stunning - even more beautiful than the pictures! Every direction you look has rolling vineyards. We opted to have them cook a special birthday meal one of the nights, and it was delicious. The only small downside is there isn’t a common area to spend time in besides the kitchen (just the layout of the house). We loved it and hope to come back some day!

We made a tour of Toscana in the Easter with a group of friends and an infant and we wanted to stay for a night near Siena. The house is 25 minutes by car from the city, perfect for visiting it and also having a peaceful place to rest. Cristina's house exceeded our expectations. Four big bedrooms with private bathrooms. Perfectly clean and equipped with all amenities. She even had prepared the outdoor jacuzzi for us, which was exactly what we needed after a busy day in the city. Cristina was always available to respond to our messages and make the best recommendations. It felt like having a friend to count on. Certainly one of the best experiences I had with a host in Airbnb. We only felt sorry we didn't stay longer. Worth every euro.

I would definitely choose it a thousand times, Eddy very formally welcomed us personally and explained everything, it was the best accommodation in all my Eurotrip, a separate home for you, I was able to relax in the bathtub after a long walk and taste the delicious wine they gave us. Thank you very much for such excellent service

Really enjoyed the stay: the place is spacious and cozy (even more beautiful than in the pictures :)), there was everything you need: bed linen, towels, everything equipped with kitchen. The hosts are friendly and although they don't speak much English, but they explain everything:)... The town is charming too - full of historical buzz. There is a small thermal spring quite close (from the property maybe 5 min walk) - quite hot so only one of us bathed, but our feet were all soaked;)... We had a wine at the townhome's bar - it was very nice to interact with the locals. Literally, the warmest feedback - thank you for everything!

We had a fantastic experience at Stefania's place! It's a beautiful studio which was spotlessly clean and has everything you might need. Slightly out of the centre of Florence (in a lovely area, we recommend the walk from the flat to Piazzale Michelangelo for stunning views) but you can get the 11 bus into the city. The bus isn't always reliable on weekend and evening so we often walked back to the flat, the hill looks intimidating but it's a relatively easy walk. Stefania was very responsive and had good recommendations for us. There is also a super cute cat in the building that was friendly.

Staying with Elena was something special. The location offered a lot of peace with a great view of the sea. The style and coolness of the house in the summer, the shady and lounge-like places outside offered almost a kind of club atmosphere. The "price" for this is about 20 minutes' walk to the harbor of Porto Azurs.

We found the apartment very clean and as described, and the hosts were very friendly. They gave us tips for excursions upon arrival. Anna Maria and her husband have created a little paradise here. If you are looking for peace, you will find it in this beautiful environment. The terrace is not only perfect for sunsets, but also for the view of the starry sky! The space was sufficient for us with two children, as we were mostly outside anyway. We can recommend the small shop in neighboring Colle d'Orano. We enjoyed the week in Patresi very much!

We were six adults, two children (3-year-olds) and one infant staying at the house for a week. It’s located in a secluded spot with a large garden and beautiful views of the Tuscan landscape. We used all of the five bedrooms upstairs and they were dark and cool. The kitchen and living room downstairs also stayed cool. Right outside the kitchen there’s a really nice spot that’s in the shade for the most part of the day, where we had most of our meals. This is a great place to relax and enjoy a dip in the pool. However, you definitely need a car to get around. The gardener came around several times a day to maintain the pool etc. We appreciated this, but might be good to know if you’re looking for complete privacy. We also had some issues with the bathrooms; one toilet and a shower didn’t work properly but were fixed within a day and this didn’t affect our experience. The washing machine didn’t work despite repeated attempts by the host to fix it. The barbecue is in the trash room.

Magical stay at Paola's. Hard to describe in a few words all the kindness she showed us, we immediately felt at home. Paola picked us up by car at the train station and welcomed us with a nice bottle of wine and pizza - delicious - hard to have a better arrival especially after a long journey. She was very proactive throughout our stay and even took us half a day to Chianti so we could visit a vineyard because we didn't have a car - we still can't believe her generosity! She is very attentive to all her guests and her property is beautiful, we enjoyed the pool and the apartment is wonderfully well decorated and equipped. We highly recommend staying at Paola's, the best Airbnb host we've ever had. Thanks again for everything Paola, you've been wonderful, and we're already dreaming of coming back! Arrivederci! :)

Marina's place is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The attention to details, the amenities and her communication made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks Martina for a great stay in Tuscany.

Beautiful place between Cecina and Volterra to stay in complete tranquility and relaxation in the Tuscan hills, panora and fantastic sunset. Convenient to visit medieval villages and not far from the famous Etruscan coast and for those who love cities you can reach Pisa and Siena. Fausto is a fantastic host, accurate and very helpful, but not intrusive, he gave us directions to places to visit, typical beaches and also very nice restaurants nearby. Our stay was pleasant and relaxing what we wanted was to stay away from the confusion and daily stress, if this is what you are looking for here you can find it... you will only hear the "noise" of cicadas.

We had a lovely time with Cristiana and Sergio. The apartment "La Margherita" was very clean and spacious. The children enjoyed the pool and there was plenty of room for everyone. We received helpful tips and Cristiana was always open to questions and responded very quickly. For chess lovers, there is a beautiful board in a great location. Highly recommended!

Gina’s place is absolutely phenomenal. Stunning, out of this world location and a very comfortable villa. Gina was an amazing host who welcomed us personally and showed us around. We had a good basket and freshly cooked food as a welcome gift!! I cannot recommend Le Capanne highly enough. It was awesome.

House, location: right by the sea, fantastic views, spectacular sunsets, large house with special architecture offers plenty of space and privacy, ideal for a large family. Various garden terrace areas. Everything very well maintained and well equipped. Camilla is a very warm and competent host. We will be happy to come back!

I had tears of joy upon arrival. This home is exactly what you dream of in Tuscany. It is nestled on a hill with beautiful gardens, amazing sunrises and sunsets, a private outdoor table space and you can hear the birds singing all around you. The house had a private gated yard with parking that makes you feel safe. The home has so much Italian charm. It was a little cold during our stay in March, but there was lots of extra blankets to use at night and access to firewood. I would love to return in the summer to see the vineyards and use the pool. Everything was wonderful, including our very welcoming hosts.

Wonderful place and Nicola was a fantastic host. The pictures were spot on. Nicola went above and beyond for us. Great recommendations and suggestions on where to go/ restaurants to try out. He was super helpful when a family member needed medicine and he was very responsive with finding an open pharmacy. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone wanting peace and quiet with beautiful views of the vineyards. I will be back.

Fantastic accommodation with lovely views of the countryside. Especially loved the fire place and large spacious kitchen. Charley and Ann were very gracious hosts and I would have no problem recommending this accommodation to anyone who wants to visit Tuscany. The accommodation was within 30 mins of most tourist towns and trains which made it excellent for day trips.

Lovely countryside place to stay. Host was extremely flexible for when we had a really late check-in as our train got cancelled. Would recommend.

Great location - close if you are flying into/from the Florence airport - extremely close to to Villa Antinori - Dario Ceccini in Panzano - San Gimignano - Siena, etc. Pictures are representative of the apartment - grounds exceed the pictures. Grounds are very well maintained. The pool is exceptional. Great cats and dogs to welcome you throughout the day. Kitchen is very workable, knives are sharp, gas stove and kitchen utensils are stocked and ready for your carbonara or amatriciana. Plenty of staff is located on premises but are not at all intrusive. 11 out of 10. Will return.
