Villa Caiano

The villa was spotlessly clean and beautiful. We had a wonderful holiday. Meals on the balcony were a highlight -
the views are stunning . There was plenty for the children to do - the infinity pool exceeded our expectations. We want to thank the owners for their friendliness and for making our stay such a pleasant experience.

Access to the wonderful infinity pool between the villa and main house is the big draw. Cupboard /drawers space fine for 4 persons but tight for 6 persons

A very spacious villa with beautiful views with the best pool we have ever experienced. Total privacy, as the owner was also on holiday. We drove there via Lake Garda and the journey was very enjoyable and easy to find. On arriving, you cannot help but be impressed and it just kept getting better. We never ate indoors, with the sunset as a perfect backdrop. A real sense of luxury in the best villa we have experienced.

Turn left out of the villa for an exciting twisty road up the mountain. Florence is too close not to visit. Poppi, is very quiet but a lovely scenic place to go on a rainy afternoon.

propriétaire très acceuillant, Villa de rêve, toutes étaient plus que parfait!

Excellent villa exactly as the photos indicate, marvellous infinity pool with stunning views across the valley. It is in a very peaceful and beautiful area and is highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Caiano. The villa had plenty of space inside and out with lots of outdoor dining and relaxation areas to enjoy eating and relaxing. The pool was fantastic! We used it every day. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The weather was fabulous too :-)

If eating out I recommend eating wild boar 'cinghiale'.

Was een fantastische locatie, goed vertoeven op een van de vele terrassen of aan het ruim zwembad. Ideale uitvalbasis voor dagtrips naar Firenze, Lucca, Pisa, Sienna enzovoort.

Dear Leonardo & family Spagnoli,

Thank you for a wonderfull stay in Londa. You made us very welcome.

We enjoyed the beautiful view from the villa, the facilities, the food, the local Chianti wine and the lovely pool. Everything was designed to perfection.

We loved the local restaurant il Colonnello in Rincine, great local produce and delicious wine.

Our two sons couldn't get enough of the pool and the stunning view from the pool overlooking the mountains.

Opposite the church in Londa there is a lovely cafe were you can enjoy a nice Italian coffee.

Londa is surrounded by lovely small villages which are worth visiting.

We would rate a 10!!

We hope to see you again in the near future. Thanks again!

Love,
Family Maddern from the Netherlands.

Ideal für Urlauber die Ruhe und Erholung suchen. Wunderschöme Lage und Aussicht der Villa Caiano. Vermieter sehr nett und immer ansprechbar, ansonsten ist man wirklich für sich.

Tagesausflung nach Siena und San Gimignano. Wein und Olivenöl kaufen in Rufina. Sehr gutes Essen und Pizza in Londa, Restaurant Da Fischio.

Lovely villa with beautiful surroundings. The couple who own the villa are very kind and helpful.
Villa truly is in the middle of nowhere with very few local shops/restaurants all of which close during the day. The villa is very cold especially during the evenings as it is built into the hillside.

The villa is situated on a hillside above the small village of Londa. You look down into the valley, with breathtaking views on a sunny day. The owners are very friendly. The house is modern and clean. There are two large sitting areas, nice bathrooms.

There are a lot of small villages to explore in the area. We did some longer day trips to the Chianti wine region and Siena. Closer, there is the very quaint medieval town of Poppi. It's off the typical tourist path, so it is not very busy, but very lovely.

The family made you very welcome. Nothing was to much trouble.
They made themselves contactable and approachable at all times.
I loved everything about the villa. The pool was fabulous and the views and sunsets left us breathless. Great walks and run paths around the villa and accesability to the village by foot is great

Londa made us feel very welcome.

Der herzliche Empfang, die Gastfreundlichkeit und die ausserordentliche Hilfsbereitschaft der Hausbesitzer (inkl. Jack Russel Milo!), der traumhafte Infinity Pool inkl. wunderschöne Aussicht, die ruhige Lage für Erholung pur! und die Ausstattung der Villa! Zudem die Diskretion der Hausbesitzer, welche jederzeit unsere Privacy respektiert haben!
Alles war hervorragend! Keine Beanstandungen.

Firenze (ca. 30 km entfernt), Restaurant Il Colonello (unbedingt die Tortelloni und die Ravioli al Ragu probieren!)

We liked the layout and design of the villa, the view was nearly as good as the one we have at home and the pool was great. The situation is rural and so is the pace of life in the area. Good Sunday supermarket 7-8km, Kiosk in village sells papers, maps etc.
It's 1000 miles away...

The owners recommended two to us, Il Collanado and Restaurant Mandri both are small restaurants serving the local villages and were superb. The local walking is also very good but stick to the way marked routes if you are not good with a map and compass. Florence is a must but pre-book to avoid queuing at museums (unless you like standing in line in the sun and 38+ C) and go early. We parked at the station. It seems that in Florence bikes, mopeds and motorbike don't obey traffic signals making driving an experience!

les installations, la piscine et la vue splendide. Cadre exceptionnel à proximité de tout, calme et confort
le fait de devoir repartir....

restaurant il collonello, Firenze, The mall outlet, sans oublier les petits commerçants très sympas et bon marché de Londa

EVERYTHING! - This is a fantastic villa, it is absolutely perfect and the pool is simply amazing - out of this world. We have stayed in villas all over the world and this is the best.

The views are spectacular and the owners are brilliant. You're left alone but they are if you need them.

The villa is extremely spacious, with great bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms and living spaces although we spent most of out time outside by the pool or eating on the terraces!

Free wifi throughout the villa is also a big plus if you want to stay connected.

We have 3 children (age 11, 9 and 5) and they loved it. The villa is great for couples and families alike.

We played, swam, ate, read, stargazed, drank, relaxed and had the most perfect family holiday.

If you are considering booking this, don't hesitate, do it now - you will not regret it!

Londa has a few, small but well stocked shops (2 small supermarkets, bakers, deli, pharmacy, café, tobacconist/papers). There is a big supermarket in Pontassieve (coop) and bigger shops in Rufina if you need them. We ate at Da Fishio in Londa a couple of times. It's a great local restaurant with typical Tuscan cuisine (and wine) over looking the lake from a basic roof terrace. Day trips to Florence are easy - we did it with 3 children with no complaints! You can get the train from Rufina or drive like we did. Driving in Florence can be daunting but just follow the signs for the "Stazione SMN" and park under the train station which is very central. Florence is always busy with tourists so prebook what you want to see online to skip the lines, trust me the 4€ booking fees are worth it. The main sites are the Duomo, Campanille and the Baptistry complex, The Academy to see Michaleangleos "David", The Ufuzzi museum along with the Palazzo Vecchio (you can go in the bottom floor of the Vecchio without paying to see the frescos and the sculptures outside). We did 3 days in Rome before the Villa which was about 3 hours away by car but to be honest we preferred Florence. We also stopped at Montepulciano for lunch on our way to the villa from Rome - beautiful! Local wines are also a treat - Chianti from Rufina is extremely good.

Magnifique vue et superbe piscine . La villa et son environnement sont superbes.
La situation en hauteur procure un petit vent très agréable quand il fait très chaud.
Propriétaires charmants et très sympathiques.

Nous avons essayé tous les restaurants du coin, notamment le Mandri à 8 km lorsqu'on continue à monter la route qui mène à la villa. Le Colonnello est très bien aussi et la pizzeria da Roberta est plus basique mais très correcte. Belles promenades à pied , sur la route du Colonnello

The property exceeded our expectations with regard to the outlook and the facilities of the villa. The infinity swimming pool was an outstanding feature.
Whilst the owners were on-site in their own villa, we enjoyed a high level of privacy and security.
The owners Leonardo and Idetta were extremely attentive, if needed, and we enjoyed an evening in their company. Idetta's homemade Limoncello using lemons from their own lemon tree was a delight!!!!!
There was nothing to dislike.

We were extremely pleased with the train access to Florence, Siena and Pisa from Rufina. All three centres delivered above our expectations, of the three we found Siena the most delightful. Arezzo & Poppi were also very nice and we enjoyed an exciting road journey through the Tuscany National Park. Views to die for !!!
