The house was wonderful and centrally located. The pool was so nice, the lounge chairs were clean, and the pool water was the perfect temperature to cool off after a day in the Tuscan sun. We shared the pool with a rather large group in the neighboring house, but had it to ourselves for one day before they arrived. The sitting area in the rear courtyard was a great place for lunch or afternoon snacks, and we also enjoyed eating dinner on the front patio. It was convenient to have the washing machine and our clothes dried quickly outside on the drying rack. Francesca was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. A toaster would be a nice addition to the kitchen. We would definitely stay here again!
Great value for the area! The photos reflect the property accurately. The outdoor areas are spectacular including the patio and pool area. Simone and Francesca were helpful throughout the process with quick answers and great recommendations.
Lovely, Private, Perfect base for exploring Siena area
This villa suited us perfectly and Simone and Francesca were standouts among hosts. The beautiful jasmine-laden patio and manicured grounds create such a relaxing ambiance and we loved relaxing by the pool in between visiting regional villages and wineries. Francesca and Chef Vanna prepared us a beautiful and delicious meal at home, such a nice treat from always dining out. We ate simple meals at home and really liked having the washer for our clothes. A Tuscan villa experience yet private although we enjoyed meeting and talking with other personably guests. Will return!
I would stay here again. The property was stunning and beautifully maintained. Fresh flowers awaited us in the unit. The owner quickly responded to my every question. The weather was colder than expected, and when I asked if we could use the fireplace, wood was delivered to the door. They were also delivered when we asked about ping-pong paddles and balls for the table. Gratzie Simone and Francessea.
We have just returned from a wonderful 10 night stay at Porcilia. The property was exactly as advertised and Francesca was a very welcoming and helpful host. The property was clean and well equipped. The pool was excellent and loved by all our party! The pool and the grounds were all very well maintained! We would highly recommend a stay at Porcilia!!
My sister and I had a wonderful time here. It was just what we needed at the end of a long day traveling around Tuscany. Francesca gave us much information about the Coop, places to park and restaurants. We loved the patio on the villa. It was so nice and private. We would definitely come back here again.
We were so impressed with the villa. It was even better than we had expected. It was so charming, clean and in perfect shape. The area was so quaint and picturesque. The location was perfect and easy to get to so many other towns to tour around. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect Tuscan experience. Francesca, our host, made everything very easy for us.
We loved our stay at Borga La Chiusa. The ambiance of the house was very Italian but yet with modern amenities. It was very enjoyable visiting Siena and the whole Tuscan area. The property also had a beautiful pool.
The property was amazing. It was exactly as pictured and well equipped. Francesca was so helpful and always available. I would recommend this place to everyone.
This property is absolutely beautiful. We had a great stay once we found it. We had a lot of GPS problems finding it but finally called Simone and he explained it. The pool was so relaxing and there are so many beautiful villages nearby. Loved it.
We had an amazing week here exploring Tuscany! The house was well appointed and super clean - a very comfortable place to spend our time when we werenât out exploring the nearby towns! We were also traveling with our 7mo old baby, and we were supplied with a crib and high chair that worked really well for our son. We were able to cook dinner at the house almost every night, and enjoyed wine outside on the patio in the evenings - it was a great place to call home for the week, and we would definitely come back and stay again!
Amazing place to stay, very close to Sienna and 1 hour drive from Florence San Gimignano etc
Clean , quiet and sooo beautiful
Lovely pool
I will come back for sure
We had a wonderful stay at this villa! The location was perfect for exploring the central Tuscany region, but a car is definitely needed for a stay here. The villa was beautiful! We enjoyed the living space both inside and on the patio. Francesca, the villa owner cooked us a very tasty Welcome dinner the day we arrived. She was also available for any problems, but we did not have any issues. Simone, the property manager, was prompt with answers to any questions we had prior to arrival.
If we ever return to this part of Italy we would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful, amazing villa for group or large family.
We were 4 couples who spent a week in this lovely remodeled villa. It exceeded our expectations. Bedrooms were all large with nice bathrooms and wonderful views. The outdoor area was perfect for relaxing after a day trip to one of the many day trips. Francesca cooked us two amazing dinners. Best food we had in Italy!! She was wonderful. We hated to leave!
This was the best place we stayed in a month long trip.
Unlike a lot of accommodation where you feel that they've filled the place with their old, unwanted items, this villa has been filled with new, matching crockery and well thought out furniture that is stylish and comfortable.
It is luxurious and spacious and I would go back there over and over again.
We LOVED it!
If you go in a group there are 4 well sized similar rooms; so no arguments over who has the best room / view.
It is in easy reach of Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and Florence so a great location for site seeing; but it is so lovely, it is hard to tear yourself away from the house and the pool!
I can't recommend it highly enough!
This property is better than advertised if that is possible. The grounds are stunning, the pool is perfect for the hot summer and the villa is spotless. It basically has 4 master bedrooms upstairs each with their own en-suite and a fifth bedroom on the main floor which we did not need. The kitchen was fully equipped just pick up the groceries at the local Coop and you are set. But what makes this better than advertised is Francesca the owner. She is a wonderful host who is happy to give you any info you need of the area, suggest activities or direct you to some local restaurants. We even had Francesca cook us a couple meals when we were there and they were the best meals we had experienced during our trip.
The location is in the center of Tuscany. Everything is an hour or less drive. Each day we went off in a new direction to experience the towns and sights. We would definitely return next time we are in Italy.
Top Shelf property and host.
