Super panoramic villa for 8 guests walking to town, private pool, AirCond, Wifi
Casa Tosca is a comfortable villa with private pool for up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms located 500 meters/0.3 miles walk to the centre of town with shops and at least three good restaurants. A CAR IS ESSENTIAL due to lack of public transports and taxis.
This home offers airy, clutter free rooms furnished with style and comfort. All the bedroom windows are screened, air conditioned along with the kitchen. The cooks in the group will enjoy a fully equipped kitchen and the large wooden dining table in the verandah.
The kind and accommodating family who owns Villa Casa Tosca will happily greet you on arrival and provide you with all the information you require to fully enjoy your stay. Their assistant, Serena has prepared a detailed villa book to source for genuine advice on what to do and see in the area.
From your exclusive large pool (7m x 14m; Depth: 1.4m - open: May - October) and outdoor dining gazebo with barbecue you will enjoy far reaching views across the valley dotted with olive trees and vineyards.
The villa is part of a very small hamlet called Cavasonno, that literally means leading to sleep: indeed an open invitation to relax!
Whenever you will draw away from your peace of heaven, there are several options to keep you active: mountain bike tours, wine tastings and touring around: San Gimignano’s towers are 15 minutes away or Volterra with its alabaster workshops and Roman amphitheater to be leisurely reached on scenic routes. Lesser known and equally worth visiting towns are a breeze from this location with Certaldo or San Miniato just to name a couple.. Practically equidistant from three of Tuescany's most sought after destinations: Pisa, Siena and Florence, Villa Casa Tosca is tailor made for travelers seeking to explore all this region has to offer.
VERY IMPORTANT: CAR ESSENTIAL! the driveway to reach the town is rather steep and narrow so we recommend a regular size car to be easily maneuvered (maximum size equivalent to a Fiat Ducato van). Our previous guests mainly walked to town providing you bring a torch along with you in the evening.
The bedrooms and the kitchen have air conditioning with individual control. Internet wifi is available free of charge and is working well for general internet browsing or reading e-mails. Be aware that this is not a fixed line connection and it is not good for downloading large files (music, movies) and works at its best when there are no more than two devices connected at the same time.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Ground Floor Panoramic verandah with a large dining wooden table with living corner with seating. Three steps into the kitchen with air conditioning, gas hobs, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, full oven, water kettle, toaster, table and chairs and door to the parking area. From the kitchen the spiral staircase leading to the first floor. An external stairway might be used to the first floor if preferred. A full bath with shower and washing machine is found next door to the verandah.
First Floor is accessed internally from the kitchen (spiral staircase) or via the external staircase. Living area with some comfortable seating 4 bedrooms with screens, air conditioning and panoramic views: 2 rooms with doubel beds 1 room with two singles/joinable beds 1 smaller room with two single beds (head to toe - NOT possible to join these into a double) 2 bathrooms with showers

Italy Adventure ‘23
Our stay at Casa Tosca was wonderful. Monica gave us a warm welcome and we settled into this beautiful villa quickly before setting out for daily road trips in and around the region. The pool was refreshing and the house a comfortable place to gather together for family dinners, playing cards and watching g the sunset over the Tuscan hills.

Beautiful Home, Amazing Views, and very nice host
This home was perfect for my family of 4. The views of the Tuscan countryside were amazing. Monica is a very lovely host who is very organized and knowledgeable. She leaves a book of places to see while in Montaione. She provided us with a bowl of fresh fruit, olive oil (from her farm, which my son says was the best olive oil), wine and some other items. The pool is beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Luxury Holiday Villa
Spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed luxury villa set in breathtaking countryside. Monica was a very kind and gracious hostess and we greatly welcomed the generous welcome pack of provisions. The nearby village was also very nice with several good restaurants and a good supermarket. If you want top quality accommodation, with your own pool and set amidst the best of Tuscan scenery - this is the place to book.

Beautiful villa with stunning views
The villa enjoys stunning views and the pool area is fantastic. The bedrooms are all a good size and the aircon is excellent.there is everything you need in the villa and the kitchen is fully equipped. The local supermarket is a short drive and stocks all you could wish for. The surrounding area is so beautiful with lots of places to visit. The only negative is the approach to the villa from the main road. The approach is about half a mile long but it is very steep and bumpy and meant that we were not able to walk into the town in the evening. Overall an excellent holiday and the owners were very friendly.

The Prettiest Property In Tuscany!
Casa Tosca is on perhaps the most beautiful piece of land in all of Tuscany. We have been lucky enough to visit some very special places in our lives but waking up to the sun rising over the Tuscan landscape with the loveliest pool in the foreground makes you feel like royalty. The property is very well attended to, with a perfectly cut lawn, colorful flowers, and hedges that provide a good amount of privacy, despite being quite close to a neighboring old Tuscan home. That home is also owned by Casa Tosca’s owner, but houses a year-long tenant who we saw very little of, yet enough to feel like we were staying in real Italy.
The villa itself is spotless, comfortable and very well-equipped. Given the superb weather, we spent the majority of our time outside when we were there. Inside, the bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The kitchen is small but very well stocked and upon arrival, Monica provided all sorts of wonderful treats (wine, cookies, fruit, oil and herbs, coffee, etc.) free of charge. (She was also incredibly attentive throughout our stay, no matter the subject!) And the kitchen was plenty big enough for our family of four to enjoy a cooking class - we made tiramisu, lamb and fresh pasta! Had we spent more time inside, a more comfortable living space would have been nice, but it was unnecessary for our family.
The hill to the town is long and steep - got the kids to do it once, carrying groceries and all! I did it often - great exercise. The town of Montaione makes it all worth it. Almost a caricature of itself - a mini Sienna, complete with delicious restaurants, gelatti places, a supermarket (co-op) with a wonderful deli and bakery and great selection of fresh produce. Adorable shops line the cobblestone streets and the old Italian men enjoy hanging out together in jovial groups, consistent with the cliche.
The villa is an hour from Sienna (by car), Lucca (by car) and Florence (car to train.) We also visited San Gimignano for dinner on our way back from a day trip to Sienna. A must!
Lastly, the villa guide has been incredibly thoughtfully put together and was an enormous help in pre-planning our itinerary as well as for reference during our stay.
Casa Tosca is a FABULOUS place! With love from your Brooklyn, New York friends.

Trip of a Lifetime
We did a lot of research before our trip because we had a very specific place in mind. We knew we wanted a place in the country, four bedrooms, and within walking distance to the local town. Finding a property that would fit these requirements was not easy. Thankfully, Casa Tosca appeared to be exactly what we were pursuing. We were a group of four women (in our 50s and 60s) who were seeking a vacation that would allow us to take day trips to other towns, just relax when we wanted to relax, and walk to/from town. A couple of specifics relative to our trip: We flew into Rome and took the train to Castelfiorentino, a town near Montaione. From there, we took a cab to the house. Throughout our stay, we walked to/from town (Montaione). Note: the walk is only .5 miles but it is very steep. While visitors should be aware of this, it should not prohibit you from making the journey. Wildflowers and breathtaking views greet you along the way and they should not be missed. We took our time, as we weren’t all in the best of shape, stopping to rest and drink in the views, frequently. For our day trips, we took a cab from the house to Castelfiorentino where we would travel by train to our destination. (We chose not to rent a car.)
To say our expectations were met would be a gross understatement. Everything about our stay was greater than we could ever have hoped. This was the first international trip I had ever planned and Serena and Monica were the most patient and helpful people. Upon arrival, Monica greeted us. She was always ready to offer suggestions on where to eat, etc. and we were never disappointed. The house had everything we needed (we prepared a lot of meals in the well-appointed kitchen) and was very clean. After we settled in, Monica generously drove us to the CO-OP grocery store and helped with the language (we did not speak Italian very well).
Montaione has many good restaurants and shops. The locals are very friendly and most speak English.
It has been almost two weeks since we had to come home to the States and I miss the views, smells, beauty, and Monica, still today. I hope to return to Casa Tosca, one day. Until then, I have beautiful memories. Thank you, Monica and Serena, for making our dreams come true.

Best villa ever
This proved to be the best villa we have stayed in as a family group. House is very well presented and equipped, with very generous welcome pack of basic provisions, enormous fruit bowl and the olive oil was even from the villa's estate.
The pool is really large and positioned with a fantastic panoramic view. Long enough to do lengths.
The walk up to Montaione is steep but short, and better to walk downwards on the way home!. Great selection of local restaurants and bars which are all really reasonable.
Monique and her family were very welcoming and lovely.
Overall a brilliant villa in a great location - would recommend highly.

Wonderful Stay - Very Clean Home
Casa Tosca was the highlight of our travels in Italy. The home is charming with plenty of room for 8 of us. The home and pool were both very, very clean, and the grass area was perfect for bare feet!
The views from the home are beautiful, and the location is perfect for day trips - we drove to Cinque Terre, Volterra, Pisa, and Lucca.
We paid the owners directly through bank transfer - caused a little concern on our end but once we arrived at the home and were greeted so warmly that concern vanished!

Tolles Haus, traumhafter Pool
Haus, Garten und Pool sind wunderschön, alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Wir wurden von Monica sehr nett empfangen, auf dem Tischstand eine gefüllte Obstschale, Wein und Olivenöl, man fühlt sich sofort wie zuhause. Das Haus hat einen traumhaften Ausblick, die Lage ist sehr ruhig, trotzdem kommt man zu Fuß zu den sehr guten Restaurants in Montaione und auch zum Supermarkt und Bäcker. Die Straße zum Haus ist wirklich steil, aber man gewöhnt sich daran. Wir hatten das Haus 2 Wochen gemietet, nach einer Woche wurden Handtücher gewechselt, Betten frisch bezogen und die Bäder geputzt. Ein wirklich schöner Ort für einen erholsamen Toskana-Urlaub.

La villa est tout simplement magnifique! Nous y avons passé 7 nuits pour sillonner la Toscane et c’était parfait. Nichée entre plusieurs villages, nous avons pu effectuer plusieurs déplacements tous plus intéressants les un que les autres. Un incontournable: San Gimignano , une découverte; Volterra!
Monica nous a accueilli avec une foule d’infos pratiques et elle était très réactive face à nos quetions et demandes diverses.
La vue, la vue, la vue! Ne serait-ce que pour cela, cette villa est parfaite. Nous devions être quatre et la grandeur pour deux couples ou une famille de 5 est idéale. La piscine est un plus ! Je recommande vivement cette location! Chrystine et Sylvain de Montréal
