Fantastic location within easy driving distances to all the famous towns in Tuscany. The vineyards surrounding Borgo Meliana have a beautiful outlook and made waking up and going for a walk a treat for the senses. The Villa itself had a small plunge pool of its own which was a bonus although we didn’t use it as the water was much colder than in the shared pool. As for the large pool , it was perhaps the largest pool we’ve ever seen! Staff was friendly & welcoming and we loved getting acquainted with Yaye who was prompt & helpful with all our requests and queries. Villa Pillo and Mama Fish and drink are the nearest restaurants and the food there is absolutely amazing. You must book.

Slightly outdated , bathrooms definitely need updating some furnitures need replacing like the wornout sofa in our villa. There was an ant infestation but then it’s the dry summer heat so one can’t do much about that. If you are bringing an electric vehicle you will need to drive about 10 minutes away to the next town ( Castelfiorentino) to charge as there’s only one connection that was offered to us but our plug wasn’t compatible.

Fabulous stay - the team were great, we had issues with our flight on arrival day and they went out of their way to ensure we got keys despite late arrival. Really quick communication via whatsapp. Apartment was big with comfy beds...bed quality is something we have found to be an issue at other properties in the area. The shutters were alsp blackout which was important for us with small kids that wake as soon as the sun comes up. Kitchen had all of the facilities. Very peaceful and safe area. If you like walking, there is a path up the main road to Gambassi which is 3-4km away where there are lots of shops and restaurants. You can also work to two restaurants about 1.5km away. It was too cold for the pool to be open and we didnt use any of the other amenities such as wine tasting, but they looked excellent. Despite it being cold end March, there was lots of green space for the kids to run around.

Nothing, it met our needs. Perhaps some essentials such as coffee, water and milk would be good to help with first morning at the property.

The property is dreamy! Nested in the middle of the vineyards, with plenty of greenery and space to enjoy. The playground was also great, since we’re traveling with a 3-year old. We didn’t use the pool because it was still a little cold, but it would be lovely during summer. The house was spacious and in traditional Tuscan style. The cost-benefit is great!

The house needs better maintenance

We spent only one night but is a very nice and clean location in the middle of vineyards. Our apartment had a beautifull view over the valley. The staff was very friendly and ready to help. In the complex there is also a nice outdoor pool. Is a place where need to stay more days to fully enjoy it.

Not that we did not liked but just to be aware: is necessary to have a car for going out. Our apartment had a kitchen but you need supplies in order to not going out from complex.

The views were incredible and the place was very peaceful. The swimming pool was great for the kids, they enjoyed going for a swim after a day full of visits. Borgo della Meliana is within 1 h distance by car of the most iconic places in the Toscana: Firenze, Volterra, Siena... We would recommend it for sure!

Everything was pretty great, maybe some drawers in the bathroom to leave the toiletries would be great.

Great location with very friendly people and good service. Yaye is the host and she tries to make your stay as great as possible. Nice authentic apartments, great swimming pool. Good restaurant on little distance.

The location is perfect to explore the surrounding remarkable historical and cultural heritage. Each house/villa has it's own terrace with beautiful garden, even a small pools and privacy yet the view of typical Toscana's hills cover with vineyards and cypresses is not spoiled. The host discrete yet available whenever you need them, even to book you dinners in the nearby restaurants or vine testing. We hope we will be back.

Some welcome drink in the vine region and surrounded by the vineyards would be very much appreciated.

Great location, beautiful place, calm, relaxing, peaceful. Great host that helped us a lot during our stay.

Accommodation does not include meals, in a great location overlooking a typical and charming view of Tuscany. The hostess was always available and the service was great.

Water flow in the shower is weak.

Lovely quiet location, spacious and well equipped rooms including lounge and kitchen. Easy to access ~5-10 mins off main roads. Staff went absolutely above and beyond to help my brother recover his passport which we left behind!

No real complaints! Wifi connection was a little spotty, a few dead spots in the apartment.
