We made it home late Saturday evening after a wonderful trip. Italy was fantastic and our Villa was everything and much more than we anticipated. The Villa, the property, the pool, were absolutely beautiful. Franco was the most amazing host. We opted to have him cook 3 nights for us and he put on a fantastic show each night with starters, wine, multiple courses of food and dessert. He shared stories, gave us tips on local restaurants, and told us about taking the train to Florence instead of driving. That was most valuable advice. By the end of the week, we hated to leave our temporary home. We felt we had made a long time friend in Franco and he even said he would send us olive oil after the fall harvest. It took two years of delays to make the trip a reality but it was definitely worth the wait. Thanks for all your help as well.

I can’t express my joy at staying at the villa. We had a wonderful time and plenty of room. Franco was a delight, charming, accommodating and a great chef and host. It was a beautiful place to stay, we were comfortable and felt secure. We didn’t lack for anything. It was a dream to stay at a beautiful Tuscan Villa!!! Thank you all for everything that you did to make it the perfect place to be!!! Best regards to all!!!

We enjoyed our holiday in Tuscany very much. The villa was beautiful, well situated in Chianti. We enjoyed both staying in it as well as visiting the historical cities of Tuscany, which were within reasonable reach.
I hope we will be able visit Italy again next year!
Best wishes

The villa was magnificent! Franco the owner and his family made it worth the entire journey. The villa is spacious, charming, each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the kitchen and appliances are all modern. The grounds are gorgeous and the pool is beautiful. It's a lovely place for a group of friends or couples and families - it's really the perfect place for a week in Tuscany. Franco cooks amazing Tuscan fare and makes you feel right at home immediately.

I'm so glad I chose Villa Ponticelli after researching nearly 50 villas throughout the entire region. We will be back for sure!

Stephanie, USA · June 9, 2016

We had a marvelous time, Villa Ponticelli was perfect for us. But the most important part of the trip was Franco and his family, we spent a lot of time together. The Pizza night was an unbelievable success - we laughed and laughed! As a gesture of thanks we took Franco, Rita and Cristiano to dinner at Cristiano's restaurant where he interned and had a wonderful Tuscan meal. I mean, Franco really made the entire week very special. He was very generous with us, even made special desserts for us. I was very sad to say goodbye. Our whole group had a memorable week so thank you for EVERYTHING you did to make it special, and thank you for sending us so much additional info that was very helpful (wine tours, car rental etc). We never did a wine tour just because there was so much to do all the time, but we did go to about 20 Enotecas and tried nearly all the local wines! We will recommend you and Franco to everyone we can.

I am very sad to be back in the States but grateful for the experience. I will definitely recommend Rent a Villa in Tuscany to everyone I can, and thanks again!

Bob, USA · June 9, 2016

Had a great time. The villa is absolutely perfect. It has everything that you need and the owners Franco and Rita are a delight to be with. Nothing is a trouble for them and their welcome was fantastic. We had a Pizza night with them and their information and assistance is great. We had two weeks at the Vila and it was perfect Fiona from the management was also of great assistance and all things we asked her for she helped in every way I would recommend this Villa and this agency to anyone
