Das Haus war sehr sauber und aufgeräumt. Der Pool ist ebenfalls sehr schön (Größe 4 m x 10 m), so dass man sehr gut schwimmen kann. Die Lage des Pools ist ebenfalls sehr gut, denn er liegt den ganzen Tag in der Sonne. Die warme Außendusche funktioniert leider nur nachmittags, da dann die Sonne die Solarkonstruktion erwärmt. Da das Haus etwas abgelegen liegt, braucht man ein Auto. Die Orte Siena, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Pienza usw. sind schnell zu erreichen. Die Autobahnauffahrt (Siena/Perugia) liegt ca. 4,0 km entfernt. In Sinalunga (ca. 7,0 km Entfernung) gibt es gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.Insgesamt eignet sich das Ferienhaus für einen entspannten Urlaub in privater Atmosphäre.
We just spent a fantastic three weeks here, It is so beautiful and tranquil. Unsurpassed sunsets. Lovely owner and family were so helpful with anything we needed. We will always treasure our days at this gem! Thank you, Michaela & Tom
Perfect for our entire family. Rosado, the owner, is one of the nicest people you will find. It is a perfect place to stay to visit the many hillside towns of Tuscany and return to at night. There are simply too many terrific things to say to put here. It was wonderful. We stayed for three weeks and traveled to Florence, Pescara on the Adriatic and to Cinque Terra.Also to Montelpulciano, Montelcino, and several wineries.
We recently had a group of 10 friends stay here and had a wonderful time. The owners (Danielle and Massimo) are on site and are terrific to deal with. The location in the hills above Florence is very picturesque and offers great views of Florence and Sesto Fiorentino.
The villa is a 750 year old building that the owners spent 4 years renovating. The original architecture is now mixed with modern conveniences. A very peaceful and quiet location. It offers a very authentic Tuscan experience with 9 plus acres high in the hills overlooking Sesto / Florence with many stone walls/ terraces, including many olive, plum and fig trees for our use. Small area of farm animals - hens, geese, goats horses, etc.
While the villa is close to 4 hillside restaurants, a village and Sesto Fiorentino, you definitely need a car to get anywhere due to the steep hillside roadways. Make sure you bring a GPS with maps of Italy – if you do not you will spend many hours lost on narrow, winding one way streets. City centers generally do not allow non resident cars and will fine you if you drive in them.
Danielle and Massimo will prepare a full breakfast for you for a fee and they will arrange for 2 outstanding Chefs to prepare multi course themed Italian meals for you at a reasonable cost. . These two ladies were very willing to explain each course and how they had prepared it...lots of food and variety.
We booked 1 breakfast and 3 dinners. In hindsight we should have booked more. The food was better than the restaurants with plenty of leftovers for snacks a day or two later. It was more relaxing to eat at villa after a busy day out driving/ touring than to have to go out again in evening to restaurant .
Danielle gave us tips on grocery store ( Esselunga recommended ) locations and how to get to the train station. Take the local train to Florence as opposed to driving. Much quicker and no need to drive in heavy traffic. Cost is 1.5 euros per person.
The villa was listed as "Villa Eden" on some web sites but the actual name is Tenuta Lonciano. That is what the locals know it by and the road is well marked with many signs indicating where the villa is located.
Find Massimo’s café (Gran Bar) in Sesto Fiorentino and enjoy his wonderful baked goods!!! The experience was excellent in every respect.
Can not say enough positive things about our hosts, Danielle and Massimo. These two fine hard working gentleman made our stay in Tuscany pleasant and enjoyable ..always available and willing to give advise and help. Danielle was willing to get up at 5am and drive 2 members of our group to the local train station so they could get to Florence to catch the train back to Rome for the flight home. He would not take any payment for doing this for us.
When visiting Florence try the " hop on hop off " bus for good city tour/orientation. The best experience was driving out into the countryside to the small hilltop Medieval/Roman towns....less people, better prices, some have old walls, narrow streets and many out door markets...very quaint and beautiful places.
Some favourites... Lucca .. Drive or take train from Sesto
San Gimignano.. Nice drive
Siena... Take the train as parking is horrible
Montalcino... Nice drive
Greve in Chanti easy drive from villa
And many more....
We booked this villa because of it's history and location and were not disappointed.

Casa Paola exceeded our expectations by far. A beautiful villa in a wonderful surrounding. But what made our vacations memorable, is the kindness and devotion of Nella and her entire family. Home away from home, this is the feeling that comes to mind when I think of our stay at Casa Paola. Well situated, close to Firenze and Sienna and many beautiful cities along the scenic wine road RS 222. A must if you are looking for a magnificent villa in Tuscany!
Podere Cantalena ist eine unglaubliches Feriendomizil. Die Eigentümer sind wahre Gastgeber und sind herzlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Schlüsselübergabe war problemlos und sehr flexibel. Das Haus ist ein wahrer Traum. Absolut sauber und sehr authentisch luxuriös eingereichtet. Es fehlt an nichts; alles ist vorhanden, vom Brotmesser bis zu lecker Esprossopulver inkl. Maschine und Poolliegen. Die Lage und demnach der Blick ins Tal und auf die Berge ist atemberaubend. Das Haus ist uneinsichtbar; man hat viel Privatsphäre. Zu 100% können wir einen Erholungsurlaub im Podere Cantalena empfehlen.
Achtung: Die letzten 5 KM erfolgen über eine Schotterstrasse, welche mit normalem PKW wirklich schwierig zu fahren ist. Der nächste Einkaufsmarkt ist 20 Minuten Autofahrt entfernt.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Podere Cantalena is an incredible holiday property. The owners are true hosts and are welcoming and very helpful. The check-in was smooth and very flexible. The house is a dream come true. Absolutely clean and authentic luxurious furnishings. Nothing is missing; everything is available, from bread knife to delicious espresso powder incl. machine and pool loungers. The location and the view of the valley and the mountains is breathtaking. The house is secluded; you have plenty of privacy. At 100%, we can recommend a relaxing holiday at Podere Cantalena.
Attention: The last 5 km of the access road are not asphalted, which makes it really difficult to drive with a normal car. The nearest supermarket is about 20 minute drive away.
