Paradise in the Tuscan hills

We stayed for five nights in July 2024. We were very comfortable despite 40 Celsius every day. The accommodation was well-appointed and had everything we needed. The scenery was breathtaking! I found myself taking the same photo under different light—so very enchanting. If you are independent and don't need to be catered to, are willing to pick up groceries and cook, you will be happy. The pool is larger than one might find in other locations. House rules ensure guests respect the space, one another, etc. If you're looking for boisterous days by the pool, this is not the place. Being in a quiet place is super peaceful - a bit unsettling but incredibly wonderful if you are a city person! There was no traffic noise besides the occasional tractor doing its thing from a distance. Excellent wine region (Brunello is 10K away near Monticello) and lovely restaurants in Buonconvento and surrounding towns. An easy train ride from Buonconvento to Siena or Firenze, etc. We will return!

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second stay at Podere Cunina and was simply wonderful - again! The property is STUNNING with magical views of both sunset and sunrise each day. As a flower lover, I absolutely love all the diversity of the landscaping - everything was in bloom and beautiful! The hosts are so lovely - with warm greetings and advice. It’s a great middle point to visit all of Tuscany. Really gives you the feel of living the Italian villa lifestyle. We hope to be back soon!

Beautiful place to stay in the heart of Tuscany

Sylvana and her family’s property were a great place to stay for our trip to Tuscany. Centrally located and surrounded by beautiful views everywhere. Our only problem was we wished we had stayed longer. Their hospitality was great and we were only a half hour drive to several other beautiful cities. Highly recommend!

Stunning Tuscan apartment

This is a romantic, serene and gorgeous property! The gardens are absolutely breathtaking - so many different plants. We arrived just as the sun was setting and what a sight to behold! Our hosts were just lovely and we had everything we needed in the apartment; kitchen with all the amenities and goodies. Large bedroom with a view of the countryside from the spacious and very comfortable bed. The pool was so inviting - we so potent our last day lounging here - just spectacular. Easy 15 minute drive to the stunning fortressed town of Montalcino with Brunello wine being the star - truly amazing!!! Siena half hour away - this is a lovely area to stay as you’re so central to so many medieval towns. Absolutely loved our stay and the most gracious hosts! Thank you 😊

Fantastic property

We had a wonderful stay at Podere Cunina. Silvana and Giorgio could not have been more welcoming. The location cannot be beaten. Views for miles around including Montalcino in one direction, and even as far as Sienna in the opposite direction. The landscaping has been thoughtfully planned to give privacy but also to provide beautiful plants and trees that were teeming with birds and butterflies. The pool area is secluded but, again, has majestic views of the surrounding countryside. The property was the perfect location for exploring Tuscany and made for a very relaxed and enjoyable vacation.

Our Dream Place

FARMH. PODERE CUNINA was amazing! The hospitality, the view, the room, everything was so perfect that we were simply blown away. We are so happy that we took Marcello's cooking class too. We learned so much from him about the local cuisines and traditional Tuscany cooking. The best part was that we ate the food we cooked with his family after the class. We will never forget the beautiful time we had at Podere Cunina and can't wait to go back there. We highly recommend this place to anyone who dreams of Tuscany!

This was absolutely a dream place to stay! Sylvani spent a lot of time with us when we arrived and made us feel so welcome! She and her husband have built a very special place for travelers to stay and enjoy Tuscany. She told us to "not run" in order to really see Tuscany, and we followed her advice and had a fabulous time! I would LOVE to stay there again!!

Excellent villa with great hospitality

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the villa. The apartment was spacious and clean with an excellent atmosphere. The location is on a hilltop with panaromic views of the hills and scenery of Tuscany. Sylvanni pointed out that you can even see Siena of in the distance, about 35 kilometers away. We could not have stayed in a better place and we were short drives away from many of the hilltop villages in the area. We highly recommend for anyone who wants to stay in Tuscany not in a downtown area

Great hosts, spotlessly clean and beautiful views!

As other reviewers have, we loved our stay! To address the one concern of others - the drive from the main road takes about 6 minutes and is initially intimidating; but we ran into similar roads in our travels to wineries etc. - it is just something to get used to. We had rented a small Fiat 500; arriving during day light is recommended. We had a Garmin GPS that often took us on dirt/gravel roads throughout our 2 week stay in Taxus. Follow the signs once on the gravel road; our GPS would have misled us. Taxus offered parking right outside the door which was a plus when bringing in groceries or suitcases. The apartment was spotless. The WiFi was fast and never failed. Marcello's cooking class is a must - not just for the cooking tips and recipes but for the experience of dining and mingling with the owners, who are great people. Silvana goes out of her way to tend to your every need. One day she dropped off a canister of homemade cookies she had baked. Gorgeio speaks great English and will help you with directions and recommendations. Dante, the dog, sleeps most days; I don't recall ever hearing him bark. The outdoor BBQ was a delight to use after purchasing a steak from the Coop just a few miles away. Without a doubt, we recommend this VRBO if staying in a farmhouse is your desire. The location is fantastic! The scenery is stunning! Thank you again!

Exhale and Enjoy!

After many days of visiting tourist packed cities, arriving at Podere Cunina was a stressless breathe of fresh air. We rented a car in Florence and followed Silvana's instructions with ease. Our apartment was the perfect home away from home. Everything was clean and comfortable. The views from our second floor were just as spectacular as the paintings and photos I had previously seen of Tuscany. The cooking class with Marcello was fun, informative and delicious. I had a cold and Marcello recommended a natural sore throat tincture that he makes, which truly helped. The next time we visit Italy, we plan on starting at Podere Cunina and having more time to visit all of Tuscany. Our 3 days there were definitely not enough.

Perfect!

This farmhouse and its location were just perfect for our needs. Wanting a brief getaway from the bustle of Rome, we headed to Tuscany for the wine, the food, the scenery. No disappointments here. Our comfortable and well appointed apartment offered us stunning views from all sides; we were able to see clear to Siena! Our innkeepers, Silvana, Pier Giorgio and son Marcello gave us the perfect combination of privacy and filling of our needs. Do take advantage of the cooking class if you can, as well as the wine tour with Marcello. And don't forget to bring home some of their very own EVOO and saffron. Excellent. And also, do go into the nearby town of Buonoconvento. There are grocery shopping and restaurants. Our favorite, suggested by the family, was Da Mario. Get the steak and the tiramisu. We were glad we rented a car, so we could do our own wine tour on other days. My only disappointment is that we could not stay a bit longer to avail ourselves of more of the Freddi's hospitality. Thank you all!! We'll be back!!
