REVIEWS as sourced from our Italian Apartments co uk site
We had the good fortune to spend some time in Tuscany and staying in this property can only add to the pleasure. The house has this lovely serene feeling to it, all calm and relaxing. It invites you to sit down and relax, with a glass of wine in your hand, and just admire the view all the way across to Montalcino. The property is lovely and modern, built in a light coloured stone. The lounge is beautifully furnished and the bedrooms are simple and elegant but lovely and cool after a hot day in the sun. Nice modern showers and the kitchen would delight any chef. Beautiful pool and beautiful views everywhere. Ideally placed for exploring Siena and all the local villages. Buonconvento, the closest village, is absolutely charming. Julie and Barrie go above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect stay, and their recommendations about places to visit, restaurants to eat in, wine to drink etc. are all top.

My wife & I have been privileged to enjoy 2 stays @ this country idyll. After a long journey from Australia to be greeted by the owners warmly & with a welcome drink set our stay up. Barrie & Julie are great hosts, attentive & very genuine. The property is exactly as described, the rooms are terrific, the sense of space & furnishings provide a perfect place to relax. All of this is complemented with a lovely outdoor dining & relaxing area & a sense of tranquility. We have no hesitation in recommending the property, location & most importantly the owners for a perfect stay.

“Hi Julie and Barrie,
I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely house. It’s a very special place and we’re bringing some lovely memories home with us. Thanks for all the advice and recommendations and for being so responsive to any queries. Thanks to Emma too who gave us such a warm welcome 😊. Hope to revisit again one day but in the meantime will be trying to find a wine to match that lovely rose you sourced for us! All the best and hope you enjoy the rest of the summer “

“We had a great week in your beautiful villa. We loved the property, the setting and the surrounding area. I know Julie was messaging Jon at the beginning with some suggestions which we didn’t have the opportunity to follow up on this occasion as we were meeting up with family located in different parts of the region. Anyway, another time we would love to take advantage of your knowledge of the area. Thank you also for purchasing the wine, it was all amazing.
Have a great summer, and thanks again for letting us stay”
Familie vacation By JON CATTLE
We stayed here en famille (5 adults and 2 children) in July 2022 after a wedding in Pienza; we know Tuscany well and have stayed in the area a few times. We loved the property, which has been beautifully modernised. There is a nice little garden, (a huge shared pool as well, which never seemed to get busy), and a glorious patio for dining in the evening (or reading a book in a comfortable chair). The location is a few km out of Buenconvento, so it is very peaceful. You'll need a car; there is plenty in the surrounding towns to keep you busy and plenty of restaurants to choose from, should you wish to, with Montalcino, Torrenieri (La Compagnia - simple but very good pizza restaurant), San Quirico d'Orcia (Ristorante Trattoria Osenna - wonderful meat restaurant), Bagno Vignoni (for ice creams and / or coffee) and of course Buenconvento on the doorstep, to name but a few. I had asked Barry to select some bottles for us prior to our arrival - what he found for us was wonderful. We had a very relaxing and refreshing holiday here, and we're happy to recommend both the property and the hosts, Barry and Julie, as well as Emma (who greeted us and was always available if needed).

We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home. I know you put a lot of effort into sharing nuggets with your guests that will help them have the most authentic experience - I can't tell you how much we appreciate that! Your thoughtfulness and help were unlike anything we've seen in renting (the wine, the day trip suggestions, the restaurant arrangements, the bocce balls, and on and on…). We had wonderful day trips to Orvieto, Sienna, Florence, biking in Chianti, etc., We visited Casale di Bibbiano on our last day, but only wish we had done that earlier in the week so that we could have taken a cooking class there!

As soon as we walked into the home were were very impressed with the spacious living area which opens into the garden and the charming typical Tuscan furnishings and furnishings. The home is located in an idyllic situation for people looking to relax in complete peace surrounded by beautiful trees. Yet in just few minutes driving we could easily reach the pretty village of Buonconvento which has an excellent selection of restaurant and wine bars with little shops, market etc like a village that time had forget but was all the better for it. A special thanks to Julie and Barrie.

We spent a wonderful family holiday in a charming villa Cortile del Pozzo surrounded by beautiful Tuscany. The attentiveness and helpfulness of our host couple Barrie and Julie even before our arrival, and the care of our hostess Emma on the spot, warmed our minds and completed the success of our holiday perfectly! I can happily recommend this to anyone who needs a quiet and comfortable place to spend their holiday :-)
