Boscaiolo at Borgo Bonorli
Location address: Poggibonsi - Siena
Il Boscaiolo sits on the edge of Borgo Bonorli where it has some magnificent views of the Tuscan hills covered with woods, pastures and olive groves. The pool is situated on the other side of the building and is a short 30m walk from the house.
There is a furnished terrace in front of the house that is ideal to enjoy an outdoor meal from the huge barbecue while admiring the views of the vineyards and valley beyond. You enter the house up 5 steps from the large private garden into the lounge/dining area.
Throughout the whole house there are terracotta floors and the ceilings have restored wooden beams giving the house a typical rustic look. The front door leads into the dining area of the house, which has a table that seat 6 people.
The kitchen is accessed through a terracotta-framed arch from the dining area of the house. It is modern fully equipped and includes a dishwasher, gas hobs, electric oven and large fridge freezer.
The lounge has simple and practical furnishings. In one corner of the room there is a small fireplace. From this room there is access to a little terrace at the back of the house, which looks into the courtyard at the centre of the hamlet and then onto the views beyond.
Off the lounge there is a single bedroom. This room has a single bed and bunk beds, however at the owners request the room can only be used for a single occupant. The window overlooks the private garden and the views in the distance.
On the left of the dining room there is a corridor that leads to a spacious double bedroom. From here there are excellent views of the surrounding countryside. At the end of the corridor there is a bathroom with shower.
There is a large private garden with excellent views.
Babies are included in the number of people for this house for local conduminium reasons.

Boscaiolo at Borgo Bonorli
Location address: Poggibonsi - Siena
Borgo Bonorli is a hamlet of 8 houses that are nestled in a peaceful location surrounded by the Chianti hills. There are fantastic views over the olive and vine covered hills from one side of the property, while on the other sides it overlooks the gentle slopes of the forested hills.
The large pool is invitingly situated in the well-manicured gardens and looks out across the hills to the town of Poggibonsi and on towards the medieval town of San Gimignano.
Most of the owners at this well restored typical Tuscan country property do not rent their houses so the location is ideal for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The location is superb for exploring the Chianti countryside on long walks or bike rides.
Pool Info
The pool is surrounded by a large lawn ideal for relaxing and enjoying the warm Tuscan sun and the beautiful views around you. There is a wooden fence around the pool giving a lovely rustic country look.
There are no sun loungers but each house has it's own sun loungers and garden furniture.
It is open from June to September and is 10 x 5 meters.
Nearest town
Poggibonsi which is 9km away is the nearest town, this is a large working town where there are many shops and supermarkets. There is a good restaurant 6km away called Pestello, this on the road towards the town Castellina. There are many other restaurants from which you can choose in Castellina and Poggibonsi.

Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Um die Einfahrt zu unserem Ferienhaus zu finden, haben wir uns zweimal verfahren. Auch waren die letzten Angaben der Wegbeschreibung nicht genau genug.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Der Pool wurde nach zwei Tagen ohne unser Wissen abgedeckt, obwohl die Temperaturen durchgängig 30 ° C erreichten.

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Der schöne große Garten mit Terrasse, eigenem Feigenbaum, dem Ausblick und dem großen Grill! Hier haben wir uns besonders gern aufgehalten. Ein Highlight war ein Abendessen in Montepulciano, in einem ganz urigen Restaurant, in dem der Chef noch selbst an der Holztheke für alle sichtbar das Bistecca Fiorentina vom ganzen Stück abgehackt hat. Die Landschaft um Montalcino/ Montepulciano hat uns auch sehr fasziniert (auch wenn es nicht im Chianti liegt...).
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Die Unterbringung war absolut in Ordnung. Es war alles da, was man braucht und brauchen könnte. Letztes Jahr war ich schon mit to-tuscany im Hamlet Montebuoni. Der Standard der Einrichtung dort war etwas höher und hat mir geschmachlich besser gefallen, aber über Geschmack kann man streiten. Einzig der Wohnbereich/ das Wohnzimmer war etwas unterrepräsentiert (es gab keine Sofa oder gemütliche Sitzgelegenheit und der Fernseher war sehr klein).
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Der Anfahrtsweg zu unserem Haus war sehr steinig und steil und nur mit groben Schotter belegt, es gab zahlreiche Furchen, Gräben und Kurven. Für die Anreise mit einem tiefergelegten Sportwagen wäre das eine Katastrophe gewesen. Aber auch wir haben uns schon mit dem Audi A5 den Frontspoiler zerkratzt. Was sehr ärgerlich ist, zumal es unser eigenes Fahrzeug und kein Mietwagen ist. Mit einem Jeep hätte man sicherlich keine Probleme. Ich finde ein Hinweis in diese Richtung sollte bei der Beschreibung der Unterbringung oder in der Anfahrtsinformation mit untergebracht werden.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Der Duschkopf im Badezimmer war defekt und wurde vom Vermieter aber sofort ausgetauscht, als wir ihn darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben. An einem Tag viel das warme Wasser aus, aber auch hier kam der Vermieter sofort nach unserem Anruf um das Problem zu beheben. Der CD Player funktionierte leider nicht (wir haben dies während unseres Aufenthalts aber auch nicht reklamiert).

We have had a fantastic time in this wonderful villa. The pool was great and the home was very confortable (but we would have preferred 2 more armchairs in the leaving room). We had a great time exploring the surrounding area, and would recommend visits to Firenze (get there early), Siena, Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti, Monteriggioni (superb) and San Gimignano. The pizzeria on the road to Castellina does excellent take-aways.
Above all we have appreciated the peace and quiet of the location which, when coupled with the wonderful weather (even the rain was fun) has resulted in a brilliant and memorable holiday.The Pethybridge Family

It's a very lovely house, we immediately felt home when we came here.
The area is really amazing, what a beautiful view when you look out of the window from the kitchen. We had a lovely garden, really big and a lot of olive trees. The house is also very nice, beautiful bedrooms and a good kitchen.
The DVD player was also a good thing, very luxe! We had a good week at Casa Azzurra, we really enjoyed it.
Thank you very much for the good care and the lovely house.

Dear Dympna Docherty:
The To-Tuscany service was most excellent and my wife and I had no
negative concerns about it. What was especially helpful was the
information e-mail that you sent about a week before our holiday.
Our accommodation villa apartment was excellent and it was exactly
how it was described on your web-site. We were met by our host who
explained everything that we needed to know. The apartment was very,
very clean when we arrived (and we tried our best to leave it that
way when we left).
Of course the highlights of our holiday were the Tuscan landscape
views, friendliness of the people and the delicious food. No
surprise because my wife and I have been to Italy before.
The only suggestion that I have regarding the website is to indicate
whether or not the apartment has a telephone and, if not, to suggest
that people consider having a cellphone for emergencies. We did not
bring a cellphone which made every trip on the rocky road from and to
the apartment to the highway a bit tense because, if we had a flat
tire or other accident in the apartment road we had no way to call
for help. Next time, we will be bringing a cellphone. for emergencies.
Thank you.

(We feel we may be shooting ourselves in the foot should others hear about this!):- excellent! The peace & quiet was stunning, as was the view. The pictures in the brochure looked lovely but the reality was better. We were directed by our neighbours to a lovely restaurant - Il Toppa in San Donato - the food & the setting were lovely

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
