Just loved this villa! Scenery was suburb and Rosado and his father, Ernesto, delightful. Local supermarket owners were unique and helpful. Monterchi was perfect, as were the walks around the property and into the hills behind the villa. Roses around walls, in May, were stunning. Whole experience was just what we were wanting in Tuscany. Rosado took us to Franciscan Monastry which was a highlight. Disappointed that he did not have more time to take us on a longer tour. It had rained a great deal before we arrived, so the walk through the cypress forest was not as planned. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone wishing to experience Tuscany.

We had a great time staying in this apartment! The only thing we regret is opening our window at night to listen to the stream right outside of our bedroom window. Our baby got attacked by mosquitoes while she was sleeping. So be sure to close all the windows at night! Other than that it was a wonderful vacation and we would highly recommend it!

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.
