Our family was searching for a venue for our daughter’s wedding near Siena; she had chosen to be married on my husband’s and mine 30th Wedding Anniversary, her 29th birthday and my 50th – we had a great deal to celebrate. We all count ourselves honored to have had Lilliana, Nanni, their daughter Francesca + Sylvia as our hosts. The arrangements started over one year in advance, and at every turn, they took care of every detail with loving care.
The properties themselves are gorgeous: the website and pictures do not do justice to the natural beauty and old world charm of the estate. The rooms are decorated comfortably yet in an old world fashion: one part of the house is over 400 years old! The pools and grounds are impeccable. We worried that having all of us under one roof might be uncomfortable (~30 of us) but the privacy in each apartments gave us room to be separate while letting us enjoy one another’s company.
Lilliana is an exceptional chef: her welcome meal was pronounced the best meal we had in all of Italy (several of our guests said it was the best meal of their life!). We enjoyed an exceptional tour of Siena a week prior to the Paoli, thanks to her introduction of an expert historical guide.
We hosted our daughter’s weddings on the grounds – photographer, flowers, local musicians, caterer, wine from the estate and an amazing cake (whose identify I still don’t know) all coupled with exquisite decorations… all done remotely via email, and all carefully selected by Silvia, Francesca and Lilliana. My sister said, “It was like a fairy-tale”. It was stunning, and we owe everything to these lovely women’s good taste.
I could not give a higher recommendation: we trusted them with one of the most important days in our family’s life. Our thanks to the gracious and hardworking Migone Family.

The Villa was wonderful. It is in a great location and accomadated 10 couples wonderfully. The kitchen is small so would not advise booking a cooking class, it was a lot of money just to have someone come cook for you, there was no room to participate. We had some issue with wasps and yellow jacket out by the pool area. The views from the Villa are increditable!!! The Owners Ricardo and Sheri and the care taker Patrick were wonderful. Patrick puts together tours and we spent a couple days touring around with him and had a great time. The villa is about 20 min from Siena and about 45 from Florence. It was good to have a car as it is a little remote but in a really great location. I would recomment this Villa to my friends.

This is a fabulous property with an outstanding view. If you are unsure of the location (Chianciano Terme), I can assure you that it is centrally located to all major points of interest - Siena, Florence, Montalcino etc... We were originally suppose to have a villa very near Montalcino but this location served us better for day tripping. The villa is immaculate and the owner takes great pride in maintaining the property. We were a party of 5 people and there was more than ample space for a larger group. I would highly recommend this property.

We considered ourselves lucky to have found this wonderful house close to the village of Lucignano! The location is excellent for days trips (Cortona, Siena, Montepulciano), but a peaceful oasis if you feel like going nowhere. The kitchen is not fancy, but had all the right tools for preparing meals with fresh local food. The bedrooms were all comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless. The owners were lovely: friendly and helpful when we needed them, but unobtrusive. The pool area was beautifully kept with an outdoor dining area and lounges/umbrellas. Our only regret was that our stay was not longer than one week!

Villa Del Gallo Nero was ideal for our party of 8 celebrating an important birthday. The choice of rooms and levels meant we could all find space to read or relax quietly, whilst the main rooms and outside terrace are spacious enough to accommodate us all comfortably. Future guests need to bear in mind that the 2 first floor bedrooms are adjoined and one is only accessible through the other.
The villa is fairly remote and the views from the first floor lounge are stunning. The nearest bar and restaurant are not within easy walking distance but the terrace provides a perfect spot for barbequeing and evening drinks.
On our first night we had booked Chef Matisse (www.chiantichef.com) to cook for us at the villa. This was an excellent decision after a days travelling, and he provided us with sumptuous Tuscan fare, sparkling conversation and was a fabulous host for our first night.
Guests should also ensure they visit Daniela Bencini's vineyard (directly opposite the villa) for winetasting and warm hospitality. The crisp, white Mattutino is especially welcome after a days sightseeing!
One evening we visited the Barone Ricasoli Vineyard and sampled the tasting menu in the forest outside the castle. (Osteria de castello at Brolio) The food and the wine which accompanied it was amazing - quite an experience!
Finally all visitors must eat at least one meal at Marlboghetto in Lecchi. Simone is a fantastic host and the food is incredible. It was a great way to end our holiday! Lynn J.- North Shropshire, UK.

The location was excellent. The accommodation and food was also very good. We were told not to make any noise after 11 pm which is exactly what we would expect. However the first two nights of our stay were spoilt because of a wedding party which carried on until 5.30 am full volume screaming, singing etc. both nights. We complained to Reception in the morning and were amazed to be told that there would be another wedding party arriving that day. We asked for a discount as the holiday was not as advisertised but this was not forthcoming. We were moved to La Tettoia an apartment away from the Castle. Although it was quieter we could still hear the partying well into the early morning. Also the boiler in this property regularly stopped working so we had no hot water and we had to search for the handyman to fix it. There is also a washing machine available for clients to use but this regularly blew a fuse thus your washing was stuck in the machine.

Peaceful rural location on Chianti wine route surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Easy drive to Florence, Sienna or San Gimignano, etc. Friendly owners with wonderful olive oil and cheese produced on the property. Excellent restaurants within a few minutes drive. Downside with the high temperatures (late June) was the lack of fan or air con & the number of flies which made the stay less enjoyable - fly screens for the doors would help - and although a pool was advertised with the property it was out of commission the week we were there.

What a wonderful spot to spend 5 days in Tuscany! Our extended family of 13 rented the entire villa. The villa is lovely, the pool and house has a wonderful view of the countryside and the hilltop town on Montepulciano. The owners gave the children (age 11 to 20, not really a child) a few tours of the farm and brought us fresh produce (zucchini, lettuce, onion) one day that we used for an amazing lunch of local cheese, bread and wine in their screened dining room. The first evening and morning we had our dinner and breakfast cooked for us. We all agreed the dinner, a multi course feast, was one of the best meals we had during our 10 day visit to Italy! The garden, nicely labeled, was lovely. We visited Sienna, Pienza, Arezzo, Cortona and a number of other villages from the villa. If I had to give one regret, it would be it is just a bit too far south to comfortably visit Florence, Lucca, etc. Also, one small basement room was a bit damp due to a small leak. [Owner reply: The leak was fixed immediately and the problem was resolved]
