Perfect location!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Carol. Property manager Caterina was very helpful answering questions and making arrangements for us. We had the opportunity to meet Gabriele and Lucia the owners. Lovely people that want to make sure you are happy. This property is in a quiet area very close to a supermarket and just a few miles from the beautiful medieval town of San Gimignano. Florence and Siena are within a 45 mins drive. The property has plenty of space and wonderful views of the city from the outdoor pool / patio area. If you want a special treat have Caterina book a private chef to come and prepare an amazing dinner…perfecto!!

Good but not great
a group of six of us stayed here recently for a week. the villa is easy to find and in a good location to get around and there are some great restaurants in the surrounding area. If you're looking for absolute privacy, then this probably isn't the place for you. The owners live on the top floor and the villa you rent is on the bottom floor. the owners have a private terrace at the front of the property while you have the outdoor area at the rear but they do need to access that area to put rubbish into the bins. The outdoor area is nice with plenty of seating. The pool is nice but was very cold during our stay. There is a hot tub but this was turned off, empty and hadn't been cleaned. In the villa, there were some basics like salt and pepper etc which is very welcome. We've rented villas previously where there was nothing. There was complimentary wine left which is always welcome and was very nice. The kitchen is modern , while the rest of the property is quite traditional. We found there weren't many plug sockets in the rooms but in the living room there was a multiway adapter. There were a number of slight fittings where bulbs weren't working which gave a perception of a lack of maintenance. We booked a vineyard tour to Montepulciano which was good but was slightly disappointing for the cost. There was no discussion about vineyards to visit etc or any information beforehand. We also booked the cookery class which was fantastic. We would highly recommend.

Wonderful stay
The villa is in a residential neighborhood outside Poggibonsi. Conveniently located to explore the Chianti region and travel north to Firenze and south to Siena and everything in between. The owner Lucia and the manager Caterina were very accommodating. The outdoor living space has beautiful views of vineyards and is a peaceful place to wake up with coffee or end the day with a glass of Chianti. The pool was very refreshing. A washer and dryer were a big plus. Highly recommend if you want to stay away from the crowds and like to drive from town to town.

Amazing villa
I stayed at Villa Carol for two weeks with a group of eight friends. We communicated with Catarina, the property manager, and she was very quick to respond to all our texts. She arranged a cooking class at the villa, along with chef prepared meals at the villa and several day trips to surrounding areas. The owners, Gabriele and his wife, Luccia, brought over a fantastic homemade ragu and pasta for us that we all enjoyed for lunch one day. They also responded quickly to a couple of issues we had with the ice maker and washer/dryer. Also, it was very convenient to have a great supermarket a mile up the road. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and the location of the villa was perfect for taking various day trips. We highly recommend this villa.

Quiet villa with all the amenities necessary for a relaxing getaway.
Our host was very pleasant and the villa was exceptionally clean. The area was quiet and safe, with many sights easy to drive to. There were several medieval and walled cities that were charming and not crowded with tourists. More popular (and crowded) towns, such as San Gimgnano, Sienna, Lucca, Pisa, and Florence were also withing driving distance.

Wonderful and relaxing stay!
We had 2 couples that rented the villa for a week and it was wonderful! The pictures show off the home and grounds exactly as they are. The outside space was fantastic and where we spent most of our time! The views at night are gorgeous! We had bedrooms on opposite sides of the house which gave each couple some privacy. One thing I will say if you are a light sleeper you may want to pack earplugs as you can hear the TV and footsteps above you of the owners. We use a noise app on our phone that helped because I am a super light sleeper. The kitchen is stocked with everything that you need and we enjoyed cooking in a couple of nights. I will say that you really cannot walk to the supermarket or restaurants so you will want to stock up on what you will need. We also bought supplies in the towns we visited during the day to cook at the villa in the evening. You can book your travel/day trips with their amazing driver Sonia but try to book those in advance of your arrival so it works with your schedule. We loved the Chianti winer tour that we booked as well as the chef dinner at the villa. The chef and the food was incredible!

Stunning view
After a long weary trip, a genuine warm welcome from Lucia and Caterina set the tone for a week's holiday we will forever remember with fondness . The Villa was spotless and the garden and pool immaculately maintained. We spent all our time in the idyllic outdoor living area, relaxing, swimming, enjoying local produce and admiring the view. Thank you Caterina for your friendly, attentive assistance and thank you Lucia for providing the perfect place for our small family gathering to relax and unwind.
