The photos do not do this place justice. It is incredibly beautiful! Stunning views all around. The pool was a bit chilly but I bet by late June it is perfect. My family and I (11 of us) had a wonderful time. The property is a bit remote but that was just fine for us. Overloaded with knickknacks inside but still beautiful and comfortable and a fabulous place for a vacation.

Castle Montegufoni was outstanding. Some of the pluses:
- beautiful property with stunning hill-top views of the Tuscan countryside, without having to drive treacherous switch-back roads to get there (such roads are a-plenty in Tuscany).
- nice pool and well-kept, lovely grounds
- great location: 30 minute drive to Florence; 45 minute drive to San Gimignano; 60 minute drive to Pisa
- spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean villa
- friendly, accomodating staff (I was encouraged to use the castle's computer for as long as I needed to book a side-trip to Venice, and they bent over backwards to take care of me when I needed some very minor first aid.)
- access to a modern washing machine that works well
- excellent price for what you get

I suggest staying in one of the villas apart from the main castle, as we did (our villa was no. 32). These villas are probably quieter, and you can drive right up to them to unload your suitcases, thereby avoiding the steep walk up the gravel hill with luggage.

The only less-than stellar aspect was the meal at the Castle's restaurant. It was good value: 24 euro for five courses. And you can't beat the ambience or the pleasure of enjoying the fine castle wine knowing that it's just a few steps to your villa. But we had better food elsewhere. I still think it's worth eating there one evening for the experience. For better food, I recommend:
Il Virginio in Anselmo, about 4 km from the castle.
Another good restaurant is at the end of Baccaiano. It's on the left side, near a large parking lot that looks like a park and ride. There's also a hotel there. If you start up the hill to Montespertoli, you've gone too far.

We had a wonderful time staying at Castellaccio for a week in June. The weather was excellent and accommodations superb. The villa is situated between Geve and Figline making travel very easy by car to sevral small Tuscan villages as well easy commute by train or car to Florence and Sienna. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and premises cared for immaculatly. Roxy was most helpful on check-in making sure we understood the lay of the land. We would certainoy recommend this to anyone stayiong in Tuscany. It would be very comfortable for 4.
One tip would be to lose yourself in the area stopping to eat at the numerous options in small towns around Lucelena.
