Tuscan Dream Stay
Beautiful, peaceful location with air conditioning, a refreshing pool, and amazing wine. Watching hot air balloons drift over the hills made it unforgettable!
The best place we stayed! Giulia and her family were very accommodating and we fell in love with their place. Next time we will stay longer!

Perfect sanctuary in Tuscany.
Our family loved il Bacio, the accommodation had everything we needed and the location a few kms from the nearest town was perfect. Franco, Sonia and Giulia made us feel welcome and regular visits from Maya the golden retriever made us less homesick for our pup at home. Not to mention the delicious organic wine we were fortunate enough to have a tasting. If you’re looking for a Tuscan holiday, I would thoroughly recommend.

We can't say enough good things about our stay. Our daughters loved the animals and being able to walk around the grounds, and for my husband and I, the only thing better than their wine, was the genuine kindness and hospitality.

Peaceful Tuscany
Our family of 5 (two adults, 3 children) had a great stay. Location is great for exploring the area...Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca are all within an hour or so. The house and farm itself are authentic and beautiful. The kids loved the donkeys, chickens, and especially Maia the dog (who came to hang out regularly) andthe cats, Dante and Prettina.

Peaceful countryside retreat
We started our two week Italy vacation at Il Bacio. It was an incredibly relaxing way to begin. We had a rental car to make trips to the market (Coop in Tabarnelle Val Di Pesa) and side trips to Florence, Antinori Vineyard and Montalcino. The pool was a cool retreat on our warm September days. The visiting pets made us feel right at home! Our hosts were helpful and we enjoyed exploring their vineyard and the wine tasting. We spent most of our time under the pergola/dining table with coffee in the mornings and appertivo/dinner in the evenings. We like to cook and the property was well equipped for it. Highly recommend this authentic Tuscan retreat.

Beautiful place in the Tuscan countryside
We enjoyed everything about our stay at the apartment. The views across the valley were incredible. The apartment is clean and well maintained. The location is perfect for day trips to Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca and more. We would love to stay again next time we take a trip to Tuscany. Sonia and Franco were fantastic hosts. This is exactly the relaxing quiet vacation stop we were looking for.

We will be back (again)!
If you’ve ever dreamt of walking into the postcard beauty of rolling hills covered in vineyards, olive orchards, and stunning villas all under a gorgeous Tuscan sky, this is the place to stay! Excellent accommodations, a tranquil pool area, and the nicest hosts you can imagine all make staying here a trip relaxing and comfortable. Fresh bread each morning courtesy of the hosts, great prices on their wines, and friendly donkeys are great perks as well.
The nearby town of Tavernelle Val di Pesa has all the amenities you’d want and there are many amazing restaurants a short drive from the property. We make staying here part of every trip to the area!

I was completely blown away at the beauty of the property and more importantly the hosts. They were extremely hospitable and assisted us 4 ladies with our bags, showing us parts of the town to visit including directions to the local grocery store. In addition was so kind as to show us the process of making wine including grape picking!! Truly exceeded the Tuscany experience I was hoping to have 😊👍

Perfect Tuscan stay for our family
The property is very well kept, very clean and has such an authentic feel. The owners, Sonia and Franco, made us very welcome and the animals roaming the farm kept the children entertained.
The pool was kept very clean, the views from the villa were excellent and the location could not have been better for all the places we wanted to visit.
Franco gave us a tasting of the homegrown and produced wine, which was excellent.
Overall could not fault a single aspect of the stay at this lovely villa. The only problem we had was with the brutal mosquitos which was partly due to our unpreparedness and a problem that the owners can't really do anything about.

Beautiful chianti hills stay
We stayed 4 nights at Il Bacio. My wife, two adult children and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a 3 bedroom apartment that was just the perfect size for us. There is a nice little kitchen so we could make breakfast every morning. Sonia had eggs, fruit, bread and olive oil waiting for us per our request as we arrived late in the evening.
The views are incredible, the owners warm and inviting and the apartment was tastefully decorated. We enjoyed tasting their organic olive oil and wine, as well as touring the countryside. There is a grocery store in town as well as a fantastic pizzeria, Il Fornace. We were hardly there during the day, seeing as much as we could, but it was great to come back to wonderful views and sunsets and some informal wine tasting.
We hoep to be back some day!

Tuscany farmhouse
The owners, Franco and Sonia were terrific. Their vineyard was lovely as their wine wonderful. It was centrally located for all the day trips that we wanted to do. What prevents this from being a 5 star review is the beds. All of the beds were very uncomfortable and bedding needs to be updated. Really no one slept well for the entire time there. If better mattress and more high quality bedding were in place, this would be a 5 star review.

These people were lovely and their accommodations very quaint. A wonderful feeling of the valley.
Sonia and Franco were such great hosts. They really have a love for people and the lifestyle they live is hard work, but their hearts are completely into it all. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and drove us into town a number of times. Their wine is soo amazing, we bought two cases of it. I recommend you take them up on the offer to purchase your food and items ahead so that when you arrive you will have what you need. I would say you need a car here if you want to visit the surrounding cities. We rented the 3 bedroom two bath with a kitchen and a great little outside sitting area. The view from their property is beautiful. We loved it and the family, too!

WOW! Spectacular!!!
Il Bacio was everything I expected and more. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The setting is spectacular. The views are spectacular. The hosts, Sonia and Franco are spectacular. The location is spectacular. The wine is spectacular.
We were a bit concerned when we first arrived. The roads are steep and windy, narrow and bumpy. We were driving a huge van with a manual shift. It was a little unnerving initially. That all disappeared when we arrived at Il Bacio and met Sonia. My nerves just melted away. She gave us a bottle of their delicious Chianti wine and showed us around our “home.” It was immaculate and cozy. I felt like I stepped back in time. A true little farmhouse. The pool is beautiful and relaxing.
Sonia and Franco were so helpful with suggestions and directions. They made reservations for us at restaurants and helped us with our trips into Florence. I felt like they were family, not hosts in a “hotel.”
The location is a bit remote, but this turned out to be perfect for us. The driving was much easier than we initially thought. The supermarket was close by as well as some wonderful restaurants.
There were a few small things that I feel I need to mention, although I hate to. The showers are very small but manageable, and there were some ants but we solved that by keeping wet towels off the floor. That said, it is Italy and it is a farm.
These did not change at all how I feel about Il Bacio. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I would recommend anyone stay here. It is perfect. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
Thank you Sonia and Franco. I hope to see you again!

Stunning vineyard and wonderful hosts
What can I say? This place is a true gem. The photos do not do this place justice!
From the minute we arrived Sonia and Franco made us feel at home. It was a surprise trip for my fiancé’s 30th birthday and we arranged with Sonia to have a vineyard tour and a home cooked Italian dinner on his birthday which was simply divine! We even had a taste of their organic wines with each course which included antipasti, pasta and traditional Tuscan dishes.
The farm is in a remote and quiet location, about 3kms away from the friendly village of Tavarnelle, which was a nice 45 to 60 minute walk in the evening sun. A good tip - if you want a taxi home make sure you ask in a restaurant as soon as your arrive! There’s only one taxi in the village and they need some advance notice!
There’s a few nice restaurants in Tavarnelle and a co-op shop full of great value Chianti (from €2!) and wonderful local produce including hams and amazing cheeses - the Gorgonzola is to die for!
If you’re looking for a relaxing and quiet break (with no TV!), a taste of the true Italian lifestyle (and wine!) then this is the place for you. Don’t worry - if you need to keep some contact with the outside world there’s really good WiFi signal in the villas, and it reaches to pool area too!
It’s also really easy to get around when you’re there and you’re only 30 mins from Florence and Siena and just over an hour from Pisa. There are bus options too if you don’t want to drive, but I would probably recommend a car.
I cannot wait to come and visit Sonia, Franco, Agather (their friendly dog!), the cats and their beautiful farm again soon.
What a wonderful holiday thank you so much!

Lovely, cozy, authentic, with lovely hosts
We enjoyed a week at Il Bacio in December, received by Sonia, and treated warmly by she along with Franco and Daniele. We enoyed Il Bacio wine and olive oil, walks along the country lane, and the nearby idyllic old Tuscan towns, including Tavernelle a few minutes drive from the farm.

Incredible Experience
We were in Europe for 4 1/2 weeks, and staying at this organic farm was absolutely a highlight of our trip and definitely our favorite accommodations. Sonia and Franco are amazing people--so kind and gracious and very accommodating. Franco took the time from his Sunday "rest day" to give us a private tour of his vineyard and a wine tasting. Their organic wine is wonderful (we ordered a case to be sent home), and it was so nice to be able to purchase it for our meals while we were staying there. Italy was quite hot while we were there and the pool was so refreshing and a great place to relax. Our room was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and we had all the amenities that we needed. We cooked many meals and enjoyed dinner on our private patio overlooking the pool and the Chianti countryside. Beautiful place, beautiful hosts and an incredible 6 days. We will definitely be back to stay at this wonderful place. Thank you Franco, Sonia and Daniele.
