Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Santa Maria a Monte

We were so lucky to have found Tenuta Verde. Monica and Daniele are hostess and host pur sang. Everything has been taken care of down to the last detail. Warm welcome on arrival, a welcome package to get you through the first night and morning. All previous rave reviews are completely true. Tips about the area, what to do besides the big sights, and where to eat and buy the best ice cream. Warm personalities who are always there for you. Daniele even brought homemade wine twice, delicious. The house is so nice to "come home" to after a long day away. Wonderful tranquility in the garden and around the house. We're missing it already. Thank you Monica and Daniele

Very helpful and friendly! Thanks for everything!

Amazing villa, don’t hesitate to book it! It is a luxury property with lots of modern features, in the perfect location, peaceful and quiet with stunning countryside views but only 20 mins walk to Florence city. Karin the host is very helpful and friendly and she has thought of everything to make it a special stay for guests. 100% recommend and would love to visit again!

Lorenza's cottage is delightful, as is the whole village that literally enchanted us. Lorenza's mother was really kind, she booked us dinner in the tiny and beautiful restaurant in Tereglio and left us wood for the fireplace in the living room (which we used in the evening, in those days it was a little cold). We look forward to coming back.

We found the house amazing. In the village there is a bar with terrace and a shop that opens a few hours a day. The people were really very friendly after introducing ourselves. The wifi in the house is limited, as mentioned in the description. We used a hotspot from our phone data to attend meetings.

Sandro and Mariella are warm and thoughtful hosts. They took care of our well-being more than usual. Highly recommended hosts.

We had a relaxing & peaceful time in Capannori at ‘roof tiles’ This stone home was not fancy but traditional and had all we required for our stay in the breathtaking countryside. It wasn’t the easiest to find or access due to the steep gravel driveway, but that’s what made it secluded and special. We enjoyed wonderful walks in the forests & nearby villages where we met many friendly & kind locals. A great place to decompress after a busy time in Florence, & only short but very beautiful drives to lovely Lucca & Pisa. Don’t expect 5 star fanciness, but a place with all you need to experience & enjoy the Tuscan landscape! I’ve never heard such a cacophony of birdsong - blissful !

We loved it here! It was such a sweet little home and so beautiful. The views are amazing and our host was so kind. She gave us a great dinner recommendation and was helpful with any questions we had! Great stay would recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

It was a great beautiful experience and if we were to travel to Lucca again. Then we would know immediately where to book something.

We had an amazing week in the villa. Even if hou have other people living there, you feel so calm and free. There is a designated spot for each appartements to eat so you can enjoy good time outside. The site is so clean and we ser that the host take good care of everything. We had a lot of recommandations to discover te surroundings and the host was so easy to reach when we needed. All the commodities were there, the appartement is well equiped. I strongly suggest to rent a car, it’s the easiest way to enjoy your stay there. I surely recommand this place and I would go back again.

We are so glad for the six days we were able to spend in Tuscany at Marta’s home! The setting is so peaceful – nothing but rolling hills and fields around, with the city of Siena in the distance. Sienna was only 17 minutes away by car, so we went for restaurants, market day, and sightseeing. We were also able to explore multiple other towns in Tuscany. This was a great central location for us. When we wanted to stay at the apartment, we enjoyed nice privacy, our own picnic table and gazebo, and soaked in the hot tub one evening. Marta’s wine (the first bottle is free) was fantastic. If we come to Tuscany again, we will certainly try to stay here!

Best place to stay!!! The charm of property draws you in immediately! A lovely garden, fresh flowers in the apartment, stunning views of San Gimignano. We loved the touches of old Italy everywhere (with the subtle inclusion of modern flair). And the little extras - a beautiful homemade tart welcomed us, as well as fresh fruit, juices, coffee and creamers and a few more fun surprises! Fabio and Alessandra are fabulous hosts - always answering any of our questions and having excellent advice on where to eat and things to do! The location is perfect for day trips to many of the Tuscan and Chianti region towns. And so lovely to come back to the charm of Fabio and Alessandra’s place. Grazie mille!!!

Clara was responsive and helpful. She was there to meet us and help us with parking and walked us through the entire house. She was wonderful. The space was perfect with a wonderful patio. Totally would recommend.

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved Federica’s place. We were able to cook meals, do laundry, and re-charge for the next adventure. Very easy to explore Pistoia from here. If you bring a rental car just know that you’ll have to park in a public lot. We parked in a free lot that was a 10 minute walk away. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for a few nights and had a fantastic time! The views were amazing, and the place was very spacious and clean. Lapo was fantastic - really helpful, even picking us up and dropping us back off at the bus stop. We'd highly recommend!

We spent the whole week in this house. We look forward to welcoming you to your stay. Claudio was helpful and explained all the issues related to the accommodation. The host was waiting in the village next door. It was important because the access road is specific. In general, I recommend a car with a high and good suspension, possibly 4x4. There are quite a few ruts and potholes (they were being repaired during our holiday) and it is certainly a challenge for ordinary cars or SUVs. The road is gravel. We liked it and had fun driving our off-road car. As for the house, it is a beautiful, old and atmospheric property. The style can be seen outside and inside. Great pool. Beautiful views and surroundings. The quintessence of Tuscany. A good base for excursions. I wouldn't change anything there. The equipment is complete. Cleanliness also without reservations. Overall, it's great!

This was just what I was looking for. A Tuscan villa in the hills with a rustic style outside but excellent on inside. There was more space than expected: 3 queen size rooms and one twin, with 3 bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. The library in the living space looks great (although you have to read Italian). Modern kitchen and great facilities. One minor challenge is the 3.7k drive off the main road to get to the property a you get used to it! Loved listening to the Cuckoos and other birds from the veranda Tommaso was an excellent and helpful host.

Wow-10 days spent at Alec's villa and could have stayed longer! The age and beauty of this place makes you feel transported back in time. From the stone walls, the detailed wall paintings, furniture and decor, to the solid doors easily hundreds of years old... We spent hours just speaking of it's history. The house is clean, spacious, and had plenty of room for our family of 8. It is situated on a small family vineyard at the top of an incredibly windey road. There outdoor space was safe/secluded for my kids. The hill made for wonderful beautiful views and sunrise. However, as with much of Tuscany, we were glad our rental cars weren't too big! The closest town is 5 minutes away and has a few restaurants... Though not somewhere you can have coffee or walk the streets. About 15 minutes away is San Casciano where you can find coffee shops, restaurants, stores etc. Alec is a perfect host... helpful, responsive, and answered dozens of questions weekly. Book dinner at A Casa Mia for sure!

The wonderful view can be enjoyed both as a couple and with friends. It is very quiet and everything has been thought of: outside there are very comfortable seating options, a grill and pool. The garden smells of jasmine everywhere. There's nothing missing inside either. The house is perfect and is in the perfect location. After 20 minutes by car you can reach San Gimignano. Simply a dream and always worth a trip 😍

Giuliani is a wonderful host who made us feel as if this slice of paradise was our home, too. The location, the meticulously restored home, the views all make for the ultimate Tuscan experience. But Giuliani and her husband bring it all together with their warmth and attentiveness. It was a tough place to say goodbye to — for now. If you are looking for a Tuscan experience, this is it. And remember to ask for the hosts’ home-cooked meal. It is a culinary experience in the very best sense.

We had the most wonderful stay at Olga’s place. We had 6 adults and two children and there was still plenty of space. The house was beautifully appointed and the outdoor space with the view was the perfect place to relax.

Our Villa in Montespertoli was everything we could have wished for and more, full of all the modern conveniences required to cook if desired. The grounds were absolutely delightful and the hillside backdrop of grapevines etc was stunning to wake up to every morning in a secluded and peaceful place. We enjoyed many mornings having coffee around the poolside deck and afternoons sharing a glass of wine chatting with our friends after our many touring adventures. You definitely need to have a car to enjoy this Villa and surrounding areas like Pisa, Siena, hot Springs, San Gimignano to name a few. Our Caretaker Lia cooked us a delicious Sri Lankan dinner to share on our last night which we enjoyed immensely. Thankyou for hosting us in your home, we didn’t want to leave.

We had an amazing stay at Juri's beautiful villa in Tuscany! The place is super spacious, easily accommodating our group of 11, and it was spotless and very well maintained. Juri and his mom were incredible hosts—always responsive and ready to help whenever we needed anything. The location is also perfect for day trips to Florence, Pisa, and Lucca. If you're looking for a charming, well-kept and very clean villa with top-notch hospitality, this is the place. Highly recommend! Let me know if you'd like any tweaks!

We were here for the second time and we are thrilled again. We love the house and the surroundings are perfect for us. We'd love to come back :-)
