We had a great time
Linda and Jamie were amazing. The house was very comfortable. The different levels were different for us, but worked out. Especially with multi families for privacy. The grounds were beautiful. There were a lot of ants, bees, bugs in general around the pool so it was hard at times to use. Especially could not enjoy meals outside, but overall the grounds were just beautiful. Linda went out of her way to accommodate extra family in their private unit. Great way to end our month vacation around Italy.

A piece of heaven with a couple of angels to watch over us.
Absolutely superb hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. We had two delicious meals cooked by Linda and we left with her homemade limoncello and olive oil. Peaceful, beautiful grounds with wonderful walks straight from the house. Tennis club 5 min drive away, and a local train station that whisked us off to Florence for the day. Don't miss Snoopy's gelato in the local town. This holiday was a 5* experience.

Amazing Tuscany Getaway
My husband and I, our daughter and 3 granddaughters and boyfriend absolutely loved the Fenice Tuscan Villa. We were warmly greeted by the owners. They gave attention to every detail of our stay. The villa was spacious and comfortable for our large family. We enjoyed the chef-prepared breakfast each morning outside beside the pool. The view of the Tuscan Countryside was breathtaking. A highlight of our stay was a local wine tasting. We highly recommend this property!

Incredible place to get away with your family. Linda and her husband could not be more hospitable. Property, pool and all around feel was great. The town of Castiglione Fiorentino was very friendly and had some fun spots to eat.

Our dream home in Tuscany
My family of 5 just finished our 6 day stay at the Fenice Villa. The home is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The pool overlooks the Tuscan hillside and is perfect for relaxing and cooling off. It is just a 10 minute car ride to a grocery store and to the train station where you can easily travel to different Tuscan cities. The best gelato we had in Italy was at Snoopy's right in Castiglion Fiorentino. The owners, Linda and Jaime, could not have been more gracious and accommodating. They were immediately available to help us with whatever we needed. We can't say enough good things about our trip. We were sad to leave our Tuscan villa and hope to return again someday.

Incredible warm and welcoming hosts and property. Perfect retreat from the hustle of the cities. Nestled into olive groves and down the street from a winery. We spent 11 days and weren’t sad about it. Thank you Linda and Jaime!

So impressed
This place was truly relaxing. It was a beautiful and quiet place, the house was amazing and the kitchen was great. The grounds were top notch. It was an 8 min drive to town, and there were multiple walled cities to see within 20-90 mins away. Easy to access. The hosts were wonderful. We went with another couple and our two kids. There was room for everyone to spread out, inside and out. Afternoons by the pool was a big hit.

Very beautiful!
The house is over 100 years old and stylishly renovated. Super fast internet, very well equipped kitchen and air conditioning in 3 bedrooms. The landlords speak fluent English and are very accommodating. They live in the same house and maintain the huge pool and garden, but you don't see or hear them. Otherwise there is absolute silence. Very beautiful!

Wonderful family vacation in a fantastic ambience
We spent a wonderful 9-day family holiday (8 people) in Villa La Fenice in September. The villa, the garden with pool and the whole area are a dream. The presentation of the property and the facility on the internet is absolutely correct. Everything is beautiful and well maintained. The owners, Linda and Jaime, are wonderful and very helpful hosts who do everything to make their guests feel comfortable. A big thank you again to both of them !! We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely be back!

Great Stay
5 stars
This is a well kept property with plenty of space for a family. Linda - the property owner - is fluent in English and always available to help. She is a very nice and honest person. She was also super helpful with securing an appointment to get our Covid tests before returning to US. The property is located next to the small town of Castiglion Fiorentino which has surprisingly great dining options, with affordable prices and English speaking personnel. Very pleased with our stay.

Title: Fantastic stay in La Fenice!
We were here in August with 2 families (4 adults and 5 children). And it was wonderful.
The private house has all the services you need. No other guests in our case.
A private large swimming pool (2.20m max depth) in front of the door with lovely sunbeds and umbrellas.
Also plenty of possibilities to stay in the sun or in the shade.
The owner Linda is super friendly, speaks good English and is easily accessible for all your questions.
Everything was neat and clean on arrival, the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen etc...
On request you can have breakfast, dinner or even a cooking course provided by Linda.
We did breakfast and that was also very well taken care of.
The view from the pool is also beautiful and invites you to relax.

We spent a week immersed in the peace of the countryside in a cozy house and big enough for 8 people. The kitchen is large and stocked with everything, there's a table outside for outdoor dining, plus another in the pool area. Impeccable cleanliness, gorgeous garden and infinity pool held wonderfully by Linda, the owner who welcomed us on our arrival. Thanks again Linda and we hope to be back next summer.
