Those who want to experience the truest spirit of Tuscany can stop here sharing the rural life of the local people or stroll relaxing among the aromas and flavors of the countryside and good food. A place where you can venerate pleasure, beauty and nature.
All the comforts, including the swimming pool, in a period structure immersed in the Tuscan countryside, is well suited as a base for visits to the cities of art, to the Romanesque churches located on the historic Via Francigena and to the medieval castles that are located in the surrounding area.
The house still retains the authentic bell tower, the chapel with frescoes, the old cellar with a room for reading and listening to music.
The apartment has an open space with a veranda where you can have meals, taste the magnificent wines and products of the area, rest and sunbathe.

Lovely Accomodation
My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in this lovely two bedroom apartment. The accommodation has a large comfortable living room to relax with a glass of wine. The kitchen is outfitted well with glassware, tableware and cookware. We cooked in several nights of our stay. There is a large grocery coop about a ten minute drive away. We chose this accomodation as we felt it would be an easy drive to several cities we wanted to visit: Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano,Siena. We also went to two wineries around Grieves. Our hosts were very welcoming and quickly responded to any questions we had. They also generously took us on a tour of their beautiful chapel, and amazing wine rooms. And we had the most delicious tray of homemade sweets! They are truly the nicest people and it was lively to spend time with them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet comfortable accomodation in the middle of the tuscany region.

Dream stay in Tuscany
Franco and Patrizia gave us a warm welcome and local bottle of Chianti immediately after parking while showing us all that we needed to know about the apartment. It is a lovely traditional Tuscan home with comfortable beds and linens, 3 fans, and the most beautiful views of grape vines, olive trees and the Tuscan hills! Patrizia brought us grapes from their vines one evening and traditional Tuscan treats 2 other evenings. Franco invited us to the wine cellar for glasses of various wine and showed us antiques from the World Wars, tools, etc. We had a wonderful discussion even though we did not speak each other’s language! It was priceless. I highly recommend their home! Do pack insect repellent. My husband and I were both covered in bites after the first couple of days. The repellent we purchased worked thank goodness but we had to have it on even in the house. The residence was professionally sprayed the day before we left which seemed to help. Mosquitoes were just about everywhere we went.

Cottage in the Tuscan Countryside
The hosts are incredible - especially Franco who shared a bottle of his family’s wine and tour of his cellar and chapel. There were a few comfort items that were not available at other rentals but it was early in the season and they had just reopened the apartment to guests. They were quick to provide us with anything we requested. The weather was exceptionally cold and rainy so the hosts delivered several baskets of firewood to keep us cozy. The apartment is very convenient to many wineries and nearby hilltop towns. Great rental! Thank you!

A Little Slice of Heaven
Borgo dei Catolingi is an amazing property with every wish fulfilled. The history of the house - a former convent, I believe - with an ancient wine cellar and beautiful chapel, awed us during our stay. But added to that is a beautiful pool with a view of the Tuscan country-side, jasmine covered walls shading the patio, fresh herbs available for use, and a charming and attentive host. Franco sent me to an excellent shoe-maker when my walking sandals let go of a strap - averting a disaster! When we visited his cellar, we sang and laughed and tasted amazing ice wine. No property we have ever rented treated us so well - and we have been in some excellent ones. I hesitate to write the review as I would like to keep the secret of this amazing place!

A taste of heaven
I can’t say enough about this property. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was quintessential Tuscany. We were welcomed by the kindest couple bringing homemade wine and treats. The house is cuteness personified, really gave the flavor of the area. The stunning blooming jasmine and other flowers made it a taste of heaven to sit on the porch or soak in the view from the pool. We didn’t want to leave!

More beautiful than you can imagine.
Our stay in Catagno was wonderful. Our hosts were fantastic and friendly and so helpful in every way. The apartment is huge and much more beautiful than the pictures convey. Quiet and peaceful and relaxing. Thank you to Patrizia and Franco for such kindness.

Epitome of Tuscan charm with all the comforts of home
My sister and I spent 4 nights here and wished we could have stayed longer. We were greeted by Nicolette and her mother Patrizia ...so warm and engaging making sure we knew all we needed to about their home. We were greeted with a bottle of Chianti made by her father, Franco . The home was so comfortable and we were just thrilled with the views and authenticity of the home. Morning tea on the back patio was a personal favorite . It was a great jumping off point to Pisa, Lucca, Cortona, Volterra and more. We then met Franco....he showed us the chapel and wine cellar and treated us to some wonderful tastings. Though he spoke little English, and we very little Italian, we talked for an some time sharing stories about our lives. We cannot wait to come back!!! Thank you Franco, Patrizi, and Nicolette for making us feel like family.....Therese and Alysse
