Casa Cerralta 14

We had a great time, house was super comfortable for the 15 of us. Very big house, nice garden to sit and relax, with lots of shadow during the day. Pool was fantastic. Children loved it, and also adults :-)

Montalcino was great, but Pienza is a must-see location. Not a lot of tourists, but very cosy village with great places to eat and shop. Loved the dome with the interesting architectural solution.

We had considered a great number of villas before settling on Casa Cerralta for a large family get-together for my 60th birthday and it did not disappoint in any way. It was comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone. The pool was perfect. It was quite a distance from any village but that suited us fine as we organised our shopping to fit in with trips out and we wanted to eat in most of the time so we had chance to chat. Not driving also meant we could enjoy the marvellous local wine!

We explored all the local hill towns - pienza in particular was spectacular but Montalcino and San Quirico were charming. The abbey at Sant Antimo was spectacular but it is a shame the gregorian chanting is no longer occurring. We had two cyclists in our party and they enjoyed the Strada bianci surrounding the villa. As an adult experience the wine tasting at Poggio Antico was very informative and we had a great lunch out at Il Leccio in San Angelo in Colle.

Très bien située dans un environnement magnifique.Beaucoup de charme. De l'espace, du confort et de belles prestations (cuisines, salles à manger, salons, salles de jeux, chambres, piscine...). Parfaitement adaptée à une grande famille avec enfants et petits enfants.La possibilité d'avoir recours à des cuisinières à domicile a été très appréciée d'autant plus qu'elles nous ont préparé d'excellents repas typiquement toscans.
Nous y avons passé de très beaux moments et ce séjour restera dans nos mémoires. Nous y reviendrons...

La Toscane au sud de Sienne à découvrir absolument...

Excellent week for our Golden Wedding anniversary with three generations present. Amenities very good with swimming pool and games keeping the young ones fully occupied. The dinner was outstanding and we were blessed with perfect weather. The owner was friendly and helpful.

Pienza, Assisi and walking around local (extinct!) volcano.

It was an amazing holiday and the hosts were so kind. It had everything you would need to keep everyone happy. We loved the salt water pool too, so much nicer than chlorine. The games room and ping pong table were a great addition too! We all had a fabulous time and would definitely go back without hesitation. Word of warning though - bring strong bug spray!

Montalcino is lovely to explore but my favourite place we visited was San Gimignano. I would definitely recommend going. If you do go, be sure to get a gelato from Dondoli. AMAZING!

Sehr nette Vermieter, schönes Haus

Lage des Anwesens , sehr durchdachte Innen-wie Aussenanlagen; schöne verschiedene Plätze mit Sonnenschutz auf dem Areal; Ausstattung

Siena; Montalcino, Montepulciano und andere

De buitenaccomodatie is super! Mooi zwembad, een 'prieeltje' waar het heerlijk zitten was in de schaduw. Buitentoilet is heel handig, goede ligbedden, veel tafels en stoelen.
Heel mooi uitzicht.
Te weinig frigo en diepvries voor zo'n groot vakantiehuis. Sommige badkamers heel klein en zeer basic.
Eindje rijden naar Montalcino zelf, toch snel uurtje om naar de bakker te gaan 's morgens.

Mooie steden en dorpjes in de nabije omgeving. Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Buonconvento en Montalcino zelf. Mooi en gezellig, veel gezellige restaurantjes!

la situation exeptionnelle , la maison, la piscine, la vue, bref tout
les moustiques mais quand on voit des chevreuils le matin dans votre jardin on se dit que les moustiques aussi sont chez eux

il giglio à Montalcino ( une femme chef de grande qualité), l'abbaye de San Antimo, les sources d'eau chaudes toutes proches et surtout la magnifique campagne toscane qui semble faite par des architectes. les paysans la bas sont aussi des paysagistes. je crois que la phrase que nous avons le plus prononcée durant ce séjour c'est : " Waouh que c'est beau"

We loved the ample space in and around the villa which comfortably accommodated our group of 15. There was plenty of outside seating and lots of room for relaxing by the pool. The views were incredible and the property was well-situated for reaching several fantastic Tuscan towns. All the bedrooms were roomy and comfortable with fantastic views - it made it really easy to share them out, there was no fighting over the 'best' room! The owners were extremely helpful and friendly - they came promptly to sort out an issue with the lighting. We loved that they left a 'mini-bar' of local wines at a more than fair price. They arranged a chef meal for our group and even came along that evening to translate before the food was served. We felt like we were in very good hands.
The unpaved road was a little bit of a surprise - we didn't realise it would be so long (2KM plus). Next time we might rethink our choice of hire car! There was some noise from the only neighbouring property (young children playing) but to be fair I imagine they also got to hear our group chatting when we sat out in the evening, so it can't be helped.

Ristorante Boccon Di Vino is fantastic - only a short drive from the villa. They have a fantastic view from their hilltop location and the food was imaginative and tasty. It's slightly more of a fine dining experience compared with other eateries in Montalcino, so more of a treat than a place to eat every night.
