Fattoria di Cintoia

We spent two weeks here and had a really good time. The views are beautiful, the pool is amazing, the people are lovely, and when the restaurant was open, the food was fabulous. Our apartment had plenty of space for four, with the kids in one room and us in another, plus a big kitchen where we could cook and eat. The staff were kind, helpful, and easy to approach from the moment we arrived. It was a handy location for driving to Firenze, Sienna, Lucca, Barga, and Pisa. We did laundry on site without any trouble, and the supermarket was a short drive away, though getting up and down the hill takes a while. We got used to it after a few trips. The one thing we struggled with was knowing when the restaurant and office were open. A card or notice with the hours would have helped.

We had a great 11-day family holiday at Fattoria di Cintoia and were glad we chose Tuscany over the seaside. It’s a lovely starting point for day trips around Tuscany, and Florence is easy to reach. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped, the pool had clean water and comfortable loungers, and the restaurant food was excellent. The views are breathtaking, and the place is peaceful and genuinely pet-friendly. Even during heat waves across Europe, the hillside location near the forests kept the temperatures comfortable. Linda, the owner, was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and the staff were lovely. Thanks for a great holiday. We recommend it for a relaxing trip with kids and/or pets.

Linda was wonderful and very helpful. We arrived quite late, but she was there waiting and explained how to get to the area. Communication had been excellent, with very quick replies, and she speaks perfect English. We also got a welcome gift. Our room was very clean and organized, with sweet little details that I loved. The view from the top of the hill is gorgeous, and there’s a pool with sunbeds too. We had a really nice time and highly recommend it. Thank you, Linda.

We really enjoyed the big pool and the beautiful natural surroundings. Linda was such a friendly, kind, and helpful host. We’d definitely recommend staying here. P.S. The pizzas were delicious!
