Our stay at Villa Belsole was absolutely perfect. The villa is incredibly beautiful located in a breathtaking part of Tuscany. The host is great and organised perfectly our check-in and check-out. Highly recommended.
Enzo was an absolute delight, as was his property! The views are outstanding, the bedrooms/bathrooms are generous, the winter garden room and kitchen are wonderful and our entire stay was a relaxing slice of 'bella vita' :-)
Grazie!!

What beautiful people you are Dana and Anson,
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.
If it will be possible, we are waiting for you, the Villa is always open for you!!!
Thank you!!
We were a big group between family and friends. We spent a week here. The view is stunning as the house is as well. Having an aperitif outside with the sunset and that view has no price. The villa itself is beautiful and there is everything you need. The location of the villa is perfect because it's in a very quiet place and from there you can get to most of the beautiful villages around.Enzo is an incredible host. He was super helpful since we booked the place months before and he was always available for anything we needed. I would definitely recommend to anyone that want to spend time in Tuscany to check out this place. Thanks again Enzo
We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Belsole for a week in late August. The house worked out a very good option for our group of 5 adults and 4 children. Plenty of space to spread out. The pool was a perfect size and nicely situated in the garden close to the house. The surrounding are so beautiful and peaceful. A great base to explore surrounding towns like Florence, Siena, Pisa and San Gimignano.

What a Vacation!
This was a wonderful place to stay and relax. It was also great as a home base as we had not been to the Tuscan region and wanted to explore. It was pretty close to all that we wanted to see. The weather was perfect at 78 degrees during the day (October). The kitchen along with all the rooms were surprisingly large and there was enough bathrooms for the 15 of us staying there! My only suggestion would be to bring bug spray as the mosquitos were also loving the villa!

We held our wedding renewal at Villa Belsole and I cannot describe how wonderful the experience was. Enzo and Cristina couldn’t have been more wonderful in assisting us with every detail. Not only is their home stunning and spacious, but Enzo helped with every detail from daily breakfasts, our wedding (catering, flowers, chairs), chef’s dinners, wine tastings and more. We sampled nearly every benefit they offer for our 20 guests (ranging from 65 to 2 years old) and we couldn’t have been more happy. We will absolutely stay again. You MUST stay at this beautiful home!

Dear Shannon & Jared,
on the day that is so important to you, I am doubly happy to have satisfied your wedding and your stay in the Villa, happy to have met you,
thank you,
Enzo Belsole
The hosts Cristina and Enzo were wonderful and did everything to welcome us in their house. It has a stunning view over the wine fields, quiet surrounding and a big Shopping-Center for everything 10min away. We loved to make bbq or pizza in the wood fired pizza oven. Kitchen tools are made for big groups. We stayed there with 19 people and could even sit on one table.
Thank you Enzo and Cristina, we loved your stay and hope we can come back one day.
Big recommendation!

Dear Tobias,
we are satisfied that your stay was to your liking, if one day you come back the Villa is always open for you, what good people you are,
a greeting ,
Enzo and Christine
The views of rolling Tuscan hills were as glorious as any film of Tuscany provides, the villa housed 14 comfortably with rooms to spare, the kitchen came stocked with everything that was needed to prepare and enjoy large family meals, the pool was as much of a blessing as the AC that covered the entire home, and the access to dining, groceries, cafes and bakery’s in Certaldo was as convenient as being back in the US. The only issue was in communicating with our hosts as their English was better than our Italian.
There is so much to see within a days drive that we will hopefully return someday and bounce around to the numerous local vineyards and towns.

We celebrated our 40th birthday here with our family and friends (including about 7 children) and we all had the most amazing time. The villa is stunning - the pictures don't do it justice! We were there at end of October/early November and were able to use the heated pool every day which was a treat. the location is perfect - up in the hills and within 15 mins drive to a supermarket and any other amenities in Certaldo. Also within close driving distance to lovely towns to explore. Enzo was SO helpful in the planning process, putting us in touch with chefs for private dinners at the villa, cooking classes and local sites/restaurants/activities for kids. He was super responsive and went above and beyond to help and make our stay the best it could be. Honestly I can't recommend enough and will be back here for sure! Thank you Enzo!

At the center of everything we enjoy about Italy!
This place is spectacular. The house is clean, well furnished, updated baths and kitchen, pool, spectacular views, quiet and secluded yet close to so much of what Tuscany has to offer! Enzo and Cristina are wonderful hosts, caring for details but not intruding (we even convinced them to join us for dinner one evening and it was one of the great memories of our trip)! The outdoor BBQ and wood-fired pizza oven were an unexpected bonus and the pool was refreshing -- thanks to surprisingly warm October weather. Probably the highlight, though, was being so close to San Gimignano, Siena, Florence, Volterra, Assisi, Lucca/Piza, and a number of other glorious Tuscan treasures. We never drove more than 40 minutes (except Lucca) and were continually delighted. In fact, Certaldo Alto, within 8 minutes of the Villa, was charming, rich with history and provided some good shopping for local crafts.
Do not hesitate to bring a bigger group to this wonderful property for an event or -- like us -- just a perfect central gathering place to enjoy Tuscany!

A beautiful place to relax. The scenery is breathtaking. It’s a very large, beautiful villa with large bedrooms, and living areas. It’s a bit off the beaten path but we had no problem getting out and about. Enzo and Christine are great hosts. We fired off many emails prior to arrival with various requests and questions. Enzo replied promptly every time and accommodated every request and replied patiently to every question. The only suprise we had was at the end of the stay. The electricity cost was much higher than we expected. We were out a lot, turned out lights, didn’t use the air conditioning, and did not heat the pool so we were surprised. Other than that it was a great week.

Dear Terry,
we are happy that you have been well in Villa Belsole, thank you for the judgments about us me and Cristina, we always try to do our best for our guests, for the consumption of electricity we are sorry if the cost seemed excessive to you even if two hundred and sixty euros for electricity is not much, you have to consider that if the pool is not heated it has two motors that work day and night to keep the pool perfect, the Villa is very open and the property is large, anyway I tell you that since next year we have taken steps to include electricity, gas and water included in the rental price, I think this is right, thank you, if you return to Villa Belsole in the future you will be our welcome guest,
Thanks........
Enzo and Cristina
We decided we needed a special spot to celebrate our 30th anniversary with family. Villa Bel Sole didn't disappoint. The views were breath taking and the villa lived up to its description. Each couple had their own room and washroom. The pool was a great refresher after a day of winery tours, cooking class or visiting Pisa or Florence. Rent a car or hire a driver as both of these cities are within a reasonable drive.
Enzo graciously stocked the kitchen for us prior to our arrival and when our flight was delayed Enzo and Cristina met our guests on our behalf. Once we arrived it was a piece of Tuscan heaven.
The rental process was simple and easy. If you rent during the summer heat ensure you get air conditioning. We didnt heat the pool but didnt feel the need to either; the Tuscan summer sun did it for us.

Dear Shirley,

We stayed at the villa for 7 nights in August 2020. The villa itself is stunning, really elegant, the pool area is extremely clean and usable all day long. Nice outdoor shower. Inside everything is clean and tidy, well decorated and is really well appointed. Internet was fast two large TVs one had a home cinema room. We have had a number of stays on this platform in Dubai, USA, France and really this one was excellent. But you know what made it great - Enzo. He’s the landlord. He met us at 1am in the morning for checkin, he’d filled the fridge with pasta, drinks for the kids, sweets and breakfasts for our first morning. My wife lost her handbag in Florence and Enzo met us with a new set of keys. The country is lovely, the villa is great, but it’s people that make all the difference. A lovely chap - so you won’t go wrong. Definitely book up.

Thans for your nice words of appreciation Scott and for highlighting what a guest can enjoy at the villa.
We rented Villa Belsole after a family wedding in Lucca. All our expectations were more than exceeded. The Villa is even better than the pictures!
It had more than enough room for 14 adults and one 21 month old. The villa was decorated beautifully. The home has several living areas that were perfect for the different age groups and has also a billiard table we made use of. The outdoor area was serene. Sitting near the pool is the most beautiful view over rolling hills and vineyards passed Certaldo Alto and all the way to San Gimignano.
Enzo is a most gracious host. He was reachable via email for the initial booking and later on any questions we had we answered promptly. We couldn't have asked for more.
If you can, Enzo can recommend a private chef - Patricia - we enjoyed her services two nights - Incredible food!
We will definitely book again in the future.
Thank you Enzo for your fabulous hospitality.
Grazie,

Pure Heaven! Villa Belsole far exceeded our expectations! Beginning and ending with our extremely gracious hosts, Enzo and Christina, who were so responsive and so helpful, the Villa easily and homily hosted our group of sixteen guests. The Villa is a sight to behold, perched on top of a hill with endless, and sensational, views of the Tuscan countryside. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe the setting. The lovely grounds and inviting pool punctuated the exterior of the Villa. Inside, the huge living area welcomed in the countryside with three floor to ceiling walls of glass and patio doors. Breathtaking! The extended dinner table easily seated our large group and served as the social center for eating, drinking, talking, and even making and rolling out pizza dough for the wood/fired pizza oven. The kitchen was spacious and had all the pots, pans, utensils and tools needed by us aspiring chefs. The bedrooms were spacious and well/appointed. The additional large living areas supported several poker games and endless billiards tournaments. In a word, our large group never felt crowded as the villa was so spacious and well laid out. Enzo and Christins arranged both an in-villa cooking class (which was awesome!) and a wine tasting (with lunch) at a local winery, and otherwise were excellent hosts!Overall, the experience rated s 10 and I would stay there again, even with a smaller group. The value was off the charts! Grazie, Enzo and Cristina! Ci cediamo presto!

Amazing Villa with Idyllic Views!
Our group of 10 stayed very comfortably at Villa Belsole for six nights. The rooms were comfortable and each room had its own bathroom. The location is as idyllic as one can imagine. The view is a treat for the eyes and the owners of the villa were the most wonderful hosts. When we arrived, they had set up a chef's Tuscan Steak dinner for our group. It was delicious and a nice change of pace from eating at restaurants. Dinner was set up in the room that is all glass overlooking the beautiful rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. Upon our arrival, Enzo and Cristina had also kindly done some groceries for us so we could have breakfast the next morning, since they knew we were arriving late and it was holiday. Throughout the week, they were available as needed. Enzo even took one of our boys to play tennis and played ping pong with the kids one night at the villa. The location of the villa was perfect. It took us one hour to get to Florence and one hour to get to Pisa. San Gimignano, Volterra, and Siena were a shorter drive. The villa was very close to the beautiful medieval town of Certaldo. We had a wonderful lunch in Certaldo overlooking the Tuscan countryside. We also visited the nearby Fattoria Il Piano for a wine tasting. There is so much to see and enjoy in this area, we look forward to returning. When we do, we will most definitely stay at the Villa Belsole.

Il meeting è stato organizzato con grande attenzione ai dettagli, dalla sede alle attività, ogni aspetto è stato ben pianificato ed eseguito, in una location straordinaria con una vista sulle campagne toscane mozzafiato.
Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti del soggiorno presso Villa Belsole. La villa era impeccabile e fornita di tutto il necessario. Le camere erano spaziose, pulite e molto confortevoli. Un soggiorno davvero piacevole in una posizione comoda, a pochi passi da tutto!
Mi sposto spesso per lavoro e quando mi trovo in zona torno sempre in questa splendida Villa immersa nella natura, ideale per dimenticare lo stress della giornata. Personale accogliente, premuroso e attento ai bisogni dei propri ospiti. Al mio rientro in struttura mi rilasso nella piscina riscaldata godendomi il panorama mozzafiato che mi circonda.

Grazie Laura,
felice di ospitarvi ancora in futuro!!
Ho pernottato una sola notte per motivi di lavoro e sono rimasto sorpreso dal fascino di questa splendida Villa, perfetto mix di storia con comfort moderni tra cui un'indimenticabile piscina riscaldata e la possibilità di ricaricare la propria auto elettrica. Tornerò presto per un soggiorno di piacere con la mia famiglia. Assolutamente consigliato!
Nous avons passé deux semaines exceptionnelles dans cette très belle maison. Tout d’abord je remercie Enzo et Cristina pour cet excellent accueil, présentation de la maison. Les chambres sont magnifiques, la salle de séjour est très grande et très ensoleillée. La piscine est très grande et très agréable, peut-être faudrait-il y rajouter quelques parasols ? La villa est en tout cas très bien située en Toscane et nous avons pu visiter Florence Sienne et à Pise à moins d’une heure de route. Merci également à Enzo pour son petit déjeuner d’accueil ! Je recommande en tout cas vivement cette maison et j’espère pouvoir y retourner avec mes amis l’année prochaine.
