Best vacation ever!

We stayed at the villa with 4 other couples to celebrate our birthdays. It was the best vacation we ever had. The villa was perfect, exactly as described. Marco was a great communicator, always responding to my many requests very quickly. Due to unfortunate circumstances he was not available when we were there, but he ensured his brother and/or nephew was available to us throughout our entire stay. I would highly recommend this place to everyone! You will love it!

A beautiful rural setting

The property was well positioned at the end of a rural road but nearby to local amenities. The garden was tiered and had an excellent outdoor eating space and pool. The interior was old style decor and there was 2 shower rooms and an additional two rooms with a bath. The owner was very responsive to our needs but also did not crowd us. He even bough cakes on the middle sunday!

Perfect for a large group get away!

We had a great time for our family reunion. Lots of space to sit in large or small groups and the gardens and outdoor spaces are beautiful. The view into the valley is postcard worthy. The house feels like a typical Tuscan villa and stays cool even on hot days. The pool is well maintained and also has wonderful views. Mauro was very welcoming and responsive to any questions and issues we had. We really appreciated his help getting from the train station up to the house. The homemade cake and wine was also a welcome and delicious surprise. The house is beautiful but it is older, so we're thankful for Mauro and Nevio's responsiveness. At one point we lost hot water in one half of the house and they were very quick about fixing it. They really were wonderful hosts. We would definitely come back.

Absolutely the Most Perfect Place to Call Home

We couldn't have picked a more perfect place to spend our week in Italy. The house was perfect for our group of 8 women with ages ranging from 56 to 84! It worked wonderfully for a home base to retreat from after a day of touring local towns. We got lost on the way there from Venice...but Mauro and his son, Fedrico saved the day by meeting us and showing us the way. They had a welcome home dinner waiting for us and it was so amazing and a blessing for us 8 very tired travelers. Marcos even started a wonderful fire for us to snuggle next to as we drank the bottle of wine they left. Then the next morning, Marcos brought fresh pastries for breakfast! OMG! The accomidations were better than expected. Great beds, great baths and an awesome view! We hired Fedrico - to be our Chef for 4 evening meals. Fedrico worked with our budget and created wonderful italian dishes. Those truly were the most appreciated and enjoyed evenings there. We had a couple days at the villa where we just stayed home and enjoyed the views & hiked up the mountain behind the villa to an awesome old church and met the neighbors. It is my plan to repeat this trip with couples next October... the weather is wonderful and not hot but just chilly enough to have a fire at night. Thank you Mauro and family. You will always be a part of our family....See you next October.

Schönes Haus mit grandiosem Ausblick

Wir waren im August zu zwölft (drei Familien mit je zwei Kindern) in der Villa le Celle und waren begeistert von der Location. Die Lage in den Hügeln und der Blick ins Tal ist einfach nur schön. Das Haus ist mit viel Liebe und Blick zum Detail eingerichtet. Wir waren anfangs etwas unsicher, ob wir nicht das Meer vermissen würden. Aber die Lage in den Hügeln, zahlreich Ausflugsziele in der südlichen Toskana und der Pool haben uns das Meer keine Sekunde vermissen lassen. Mauro ist ein toller Gastgeber: aufmerksam, ständig ansprechbar und kümmert schnell sich um alle Fragen. Gesamtfazit: ein toller Urlaub in einer tollen Location.

Fiftieth Anniversary

The property was lovely with many flowers in bloom. The house is a beautiful, very old house in the hills above Terontola. One of the kitchens is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and miscellaneous cooking needs. There were nine of us, so there was plenty of sleeping room. We ate all of our meals at a table right outside of the kitchen. The pool was very clean and great in the unseasonable heat. Mauro was a great host, was very responsive to all of our needs and even brought us vegetables from his garden. A trick is to keep all of the shutters closed during the day and then open them at night to let the cool air in. Then the house stays nice and cool during the day. We would go back again!

Spacious and airy family getaway with breathtaking views

Mauro was a great host, easy to communicate with and happy to help with anything we needed. The place is so lovely, a real Tuscan villa, traditionally finished and furnished, with 2 identical side by side 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom apartments with nice decor, comfortable beds and very clean.. Lots of outdoor eating and relaxing spaces, a great pool area, covered porches, ping pong table, trampoline ,( kids loved that) and remote enough to really enjoy time away from hustle and bustle. Terontola only 2 kms away, Lake Trasimeno and Cortona, a medieval gem of a hilltop town, both only 10 min away by car. Last 300 metres of road up to the property a bit rough and pot- holy but we got used to it, you just have to drive slowly for that farm road section! Clean air, olive groves and as a surprise a fantastic secret garden with an abundance of produce to pick that Mauro let us use. So great. Our family did a few close by day trips ( Perugia, Siena, Montalcino) but mostly we loved hanging out together at Celle del Farinaio. A great place to book your holiday.

Heerlijk Toscaans huis met uitzicht

Heerlijk ruim authentiek Toscaans huis met grote tuin, goeie pizza oven en fijn zwembad. Zeer rustig gelegen en mooi uitzicht. Wij waren er alleen met ons gezin (5 personen) maar het huis is zeker geschikt voor grotere gezelschappen. Eigenaar Mauro is erg vriendelijk, gastvrij en behulpzaam. Minder dan 10 minuten rijden naar een grote supermarkt. Centrum van Cortona en meer van Trasimeno op een kwartiertje rijden.

We were given a very warm welcome by the owner Mauro on arrival. The villa is in a very quiet and tranquil area with a lovely pool and view. We made good use of the bbq and pizza oven making our own pizzas one evening.

Our family holiday in Tuscany

We had a wonderful holiday with uour family. our two sons and theri wives, four grandchildren and some friends who stayed for 5 days. Upon arrival we were greeted by Mauro who explained the necessary details and gave us a run down of the area and the options for visits etc. The house was very homely, we had lots of space, seperate bedrooms for the children, lots of space outside to sit and have our meals. The area was very nice. we visited a number of interesting places, Lake Trasimeno, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena. All very interesting. We visited some lovely restaurants to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and my 70th birthday. It was a real family get together, which is getting more and more difficult as eveybody is always so busy. But we managed to have 2 weeks of quality time together. And thanks to Mauro, who was always at hand with information, fruit from his garden and lovely wine, our stay stay at Villa Le Celle del Farinaio was a great succes. We will cherish this for a long time! Grazie mille Mauro!

In the Hills of Cortona

The villa was a great place for our family of 10, consisting of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren (teenagers). The structure of the house was perfect for us - one building with 2 almost identical apartments, which connected. We were able to cook and eat together, outside most of the time, but also get away to have time alone. The property is on levels - house on one, gardens terraced and lower than the house, swimming pool above, and far enough away from the house so happy yells of the pool occupants were not heard. We ALL enjoyed the place and would have liked to remain longer. Cortona is a great location - in Tuscany, but so close to Umbria.

Una semana en la Toscana

Ha sido una casa de mucho encanto con un dueño agradable y fácil de tratar. Hemos sido dos familias (13 personas), y la casa nos resultó perfecto porque en realidad son dos casas separadas, pero unidas a través de un balcón delante de la casa y otro detrás. Hemos utilizado solamente una cocina para todas las comidas. De la casa hemos podido ir a Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano (una hora más o menos de la casa) y a Firenze (hora y media). También hemos dedicado un unos días enteras a la villa, piscina, barbacoa (bistecca!) y cocinando con hierbas del jardín. Gracias, Mauro, por una estancia inolvidable.

For my grandson’s 18th birthday his wife baked a delicious tiramisu. The villa was great. The kids loved the pool, trampoline as well as the football table.

Familievakantie in Farinaio

Geweldig huis (eigenlijk 2 aan elkaar met eigen voordeur), alles aanwezig, veel ruimte, prachtige grote tuin, gastvrije ontvangst en service. Handig om te weten: geen bakkertje of restaurantje op loopafstand, daardoor erg afhankelijk van auto (of fiets). Maar ja, dan zit je wel lekker midden in de heuvels met prachtig uitzicht!

Enchanting Villa!!

This is villa is well located close to Montepulciano, Assisi, Siena, Lake Trasimeno. The villa itself is very spacious with comfortable well decorated rooms. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we could think of. The deco is true Tuscany style. The gardens outside are beautifully landscaped with hide away corners. We used the fire places in the evenings which created an intimate atmosphere. We had a wonderful Tuscany meal prepared by Mauro and his family. Not to be missed.!! Don't have too much of the starter as the 5 course meal was very filling. Mauro is a very attentive and humble host. Nothing was too much to ask and he made our stay very comfortable. We took away memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Mauro and your family. You are such nice people.

Charming house in lovely area

We had a fabulous fortnight at Le Celle del Farinaio. Mauro was a very helpful and generous host, with information on and suggestions about what to do in the area. He welcomed us with home grown tomatoes and pastries from the local bakery and delivered home grown figs no less than 3 times over our stay. When one member of our group asked if he could lend the a needle and thread he took their item away with him and returned with it fully repaired within the day. Any concerns/questions we had were answered or attended to immediately. He couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. The villa is actually 2 semi detached houses, each with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. However we used it as one and it didnt cause any problems as you could go from one to another both at the front and back of the property. We were 3 families with young children and there was plenty of space for us all. The open plan layout downstairs was perfect when preparing food. Each house also had a laundry room, one of which we used as a baby’s bedroom as there was plenty of room for a cot and it was nice and dark. The gardens were lovely with lots of different places to sit and enjoy the wonderful view. We all loved the pool, table tennis, table football, trampoline and pop up badminton. There were also a few pool inflatables and skittles so lots to keep us entertained. The children loved blackberry picking in the garden. The area felt a bit more off the beaten track than more central Tuscany and we enjoyed visiting the lake towns of Passignano sul Trasimeno and Castiglione del Lago. Cortona was lovely and Siena was roughly an hour away and an easy half day trip. The children loved the Waterpark near Monte san Savino half an hour away. We also enjoyed a pizza night at the house - Mauro and his family made lots of different pizza which we hadn’t tried before and they were really delicious. We would recommend confirming price etc before though as although we loved it it was more expensive than going to a restaurant. Overall we had a great time and would thoroughly recommend the villa. Mauro - Grazie per tutto. La casa e incantevole e sei stato molto generoso. Abbiamo passati una vacanza molto felice a Farinaio.
