Perfect stay in Tuscany Hills
Posted Sep. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful time staying at Villa Belsole for a week in late August. The house worked out a very good option for our group of 5 adults and 4 children. Plenty of space to spread out. The pool was a perfect size and nicely situated in the garden close to the house. The surrounding are so beautiful and peaceful. A great base to explore surrounding towns like Florence, Siena, Pisa and San Gimignano.

LOVE this place, GO GO GO!
Posted Sep. 23, 2022 on HomeAwayI'm almost at a loss for words. I say this because I don't think there's ever been a time in my life where anybody had to press me for my thoughts or opinions on any subject. I'm simply not sure where to start or where to stop.
Here's what you need to know, this was an amazing experience.!
Our hosts were fantastic!
Cristina & Enzo made sure everything went smoothly.
The house, the grounds, the facilities and the pool were perfect. We had 17 people with three chefs amongst our guests and we literally threw down and cooked huge meals and we all sat at the dinning room table together. They have two places to grill and an outdoor pizza oven. We used all of it. I think the only thing we didn’t do was to play ping pong.
Certaldo is a great location that offers the opportunity to do day trips so many wonderful hilltop towns in Tuscany. You can get to San Gimignano in 30 minutes, you can get to Florence in 45 minutes to an hour, you can get to Sienna in 40 minutes and the list goes on and on. It was also a short drive for the trips to the vineyard and to truffle hunting.
Every single person in our group was impressed.
I would do it all over again without hesitation.
If this fits your needs just go for it.
To Cristina and Enzo…Grazie!

Lovely Tuscan villa in a very convenient location
Posted Aug. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayThe views of rolling Tuscan hills were as glorious as any film of Tuscany provides, the villa housed 14 comfortably with rooms to spare, the kitchen came stocked with everything that was needed to prepare and enjoy large family meals, the pool was as much of a blessing as the AC that covered the entire home, and the access to dining, groceries, cafes and bakery’s in Certaldo was as convenient as being back in the US. The only issue was in communicating with our hosts as their English was better than our Italian.
There is so much to see within a days drive that we will hopefully return someday and bounce around to the numerous local vineyards and towns.

Wonderful location to celebrate 30th anniversary
Posted Jul. 17, 2022 on HomeAwayWe decided we needed a special spot to celebrate our 30th anniversary with family. Villa Bel Sole didn't disappoint. The views were breath taking and the villa lived up to its description. Each couple had their own room and washroom. The pool was a great refresher after a day of winery tours, cooking class or visiting Pisa or Florence. Rent a car or hire a driver as both of these cities are within a reasonable drive.
Enzo graciously stocked the kitchen for us prior to our arrival and when our flight was delayed Enzo and Cristina met our guests on our behalf. Once we arrived it was a piece of Tuscan heaven.
The rental process was simple and easy. If you rent during the summer heat ensure you get air conditioning. We didnt heat the pool but didnt feel the need to either; the Tuscan summer sun did it for us.

The greatest stay in Tuscany
Posted Jul. 12, 2022 on HomeAwayWe held our wedding renewal at Villa Belsole and I cannot describe how wonderful the experience was. Enzo and Cristina couldn’t have been more wonderful in assisting us with every detail. Not only is their home stunning and spacious, but Enzo helped with every detail from daily breakfasts, our wedding (catering, flowers, chairs), chef’s dinners, wine tastings and more. We sampled nearly every benefit they offer for our 20 guests (ranging from 65 to 2 years old) and we couldn’t have been more happy. We will absolutely stay again. You MUST stay at this beautiful home!

Tuscany Heaven
Posted Jun. 8, 2022 on HomeAwayWe rented Villa Belsole after a family wedding in Lucca. All our expectations were more than exceeded. The Villa is even better than the pictures!
It had more than enough room for 14 adults and one 21 month old. The villa was decorated beautifully. The home has several living areas that were perfect for the different age groups and has also a billiard table we made use of. The outdoor area was serene. Sitting near the pool is the most beautiful view over rolling hills and vineyards passed Certaldo Alto and all the way to San Gimignano.
Enzo is a most gracious host. He was reachable via email for the initial booking and later on any questions we had we answered promptly. We couldn't have asked for more.
If you can, Enzo can recommend a private chef - Patricia - we enjoyed her services two nights - Incredible food!
We will definitely book again in the future.
Thank you Enzo for your fabulous hospitality.
Grazie,
Bianca

Amazing Villa, Amazing View
Posted Sep. 16, 2020 on HomeAway12 of us stayed in this beautiful villa for a week in September! All the rooms were perfectly sized, and the pool area was great. Perfectly located with easy access to San Giminiano, Florence & Pisa, as well as local supermarkets in Certaldo. Enzo was also a great & helpful host who answered all of our questions very quickly. We would be so happy to stay in Villa Belsole again!

Wow! Incredible villa, in an incredible location. STUNNING😍
Posted Aug. 29, 2020 on HomeAwayFrom the moment we arrived, the property, the welcome and the service we received when requested was everything we could have wanted and more. A beautiful property, each bedroom just exquisitely decorated all en-suite. We had a chef on two evenings, absolutely delicious Tuscan food and they also made a special effort with a birthday cake for one of the guests, nothing was a problem. The pool and gardens are amazing, you will never get bored of the views. Pool table and table tennis for the teenagers also. The town of Certaldo is lovely with a charming old town in the centre, very picturesque.
Thank you to Enzo for being on hand and making our stay so beautiful. 100% worth a stay.

Awesome stay at Villa Belsole
Posted Aug. 10, 2020 on HomeAwayWe stayed at the villa for 7 nights in August 2020. The villa itself is stunning, really elegant, the pool area is extremely clean and usable all day long. Nice outdoor shower. Inside everything is clean and tidy, well decorated and is really well appointed. Internet was fast two large TVs one had a home cinema room. We have had a number of stays on this platform in Dubai, USA, France and really this one was excellent. But you know what made it great - Enzo. He’s the landlord. He met us at 1am in the morning for checkin, he’d filled the fridge with pasta, drinks for the kids, sweets and breakfasts for our first morning. My wife lost her handbag in Florence and Enzo met us with a new set of keys. The country is lovely, the villa is great, but it’s people that make all the difference. A lovely chap - so you won’t go wrong. Definitely book up.
