Tuscan paradise
Some may call it extravagant to rent an 8 bedroom house for two people, but I call it brilliant. This place is wonderful for the obvious reasons: the view, the pool, the jacuzzi, the copious space, the charming home. But, the secret and most clutch amenity is named Alice. She has exquisite taste and knows everyone and everything surrounding the property. She helped us get to the best butcher, and arrange the tours that truly made our trip magical. Gotta della Pieve is tiny and charming and even has a Michelin guide restaurant that is worth a res.

Family Vacation 2024
Our visit to Italy and the Villa was a family gathering of 10 to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. We absolutely loved our stay in the Villa! From the accommodations to the food. We opted for breakfast daily, the Welcome dinner, Pizza chef, Cooking Class and Traditional Dinner. All were amazing and some of the best meals we had in Italy during our 2 and a half week vacation. Alice was so helpful with communications prior to arrival, recommendations for awesome restaurants and wineries in the area, and she even coordinated an anniversary cake with one of our home cooked meals for my parents. She stayed in constant contact to make sure we had the best vacation. We would highly recommend staying here. We will be back!!

Beyond Expectations
This was an incredible place to spend my 50th with friends. It is as beautiful as it looks in pictures. Jaccopo, Alice, Marta, Natasha and Ilaria operate like 5 star concierge. They helped scheduled fun events, gave incredible suggestions for wine tastings and trips, provided transportation and they were incredible communicative. They left me with nothing to worry about. And that is such a gift!! The town is so cute and close. I was afraid that it was going to be up hill or hard to walk, but it is a very lovely 15 minute walk. There are great restaurants and some nice shopping. I would stay here again and again!!

Trip of a lifetime
Our daughter is studying in Prato . We decided to visit Italy and stay in two separate places. This lovely villa was our first week. First, I want to say that dealing with the owner, Jacopo, and the house manager, Alice, was spectacular. They were so responsive and helpful. As for the villa, it was huge so much so we did not even use one wing of the property. We were lucky to have beautiful weather in March 60+ degrees and sunny. We sat outside every morning with our coffee and breakfast. The kitchen was easy to cook in and my husband even made pizza with in the pizza oven! The bedrooms were very comfortable and large. We walked to the town for dinner a few nights. It was about a 25 minute walk. There were m any nice restaurants and wine bars, plus a Conads supermarket. Getting to the villa, the road is narrow and it took some getting used to but we managed with our rental car. Having the washer and dryer was very helpful. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the property. Our week was from March 16 to 22 and we did need the heat a bit to get the chill out of the villa but once it warmed up it was fine. We paid approx $280 Euro for the heat and electric. Again we loved our stay and we would highly recommend for any family.

Lovely family stay at Villa Podere Baiocco.
Our extended family of 8 adults stayed here for a week in mid September 2022. We had a great time enjoying the property and the surrounding sights. Citta Della Pieve is about a 15-20 min walk from the Villa. Charming hillside town with nice little restaurants, shopping and a couple of grocery stores. We opted for the light “Welcome Dinner” the first night prepared by Alice and her assistant. It was the best lasagna I have ever had along with wine, antipasti and desert. I recommend for you to do that. We also opted for the “ Traditional Italian Dinner” one night as well. Don’t eat much that day so you can make it all the way thru dinner. The property is large and all the bedrooms have separate bathrooms which was perfect. The property is a little rustic but not in a bad way. Some furniture updating would be appropriate ( pillows are hard ). The pool ( unheated ) is large and probably quite warm for use in the summer months. When we were there it was sunny but not too warm so the pool temperature reflected those conditions. The grounds are spacious and the views across the valley were beautiful. The property is quite private. Jacopo, the property manager, was extremely responsive during the period leading up to our time there as well as when we were there. Really a nice guy! We had Jacopo arrange for a photographer the evening of our “ Traditional Italian Dinner” so we could have some nice photos of that evening. Jacopo can arrange tours, restaurant reservations, and most anything else you might want to do. I recommend this property and it’s manager for your Italian Villa experience.

Perfect 50th Birthday Celebration!
After many delays and rescheduling (thanks to Covid ) I was finally able to enjoy my birthday gift of a trip to Italy ! Jacopo was so helpful and very patient with all my many questions. I selected this villa because of the many services he offers. Also you are close to the town of Citte della Pieve if you need any essentials. The villa was in the perfect location and was about an hour or less from the towns we visited. During our week we visited - Assisi, Montepulciano, Orvieto, Sienna and Cortona. The catered meals both dinner and breakfast are a must! Make sure you do this! You will not be disappointed! It was so nice to come back to the villa after a long day of touring to be met with the smells of dinner cooking and be greeted with a glass of wine and delicious appetizers. Alice made our dinners each night and was back bright and early in the morning making breakfast ! She was so cheerful, helpful and very accommodating and a wonderful cook! Make sure she makes you a cappuccino!! It was heaven!! Did I mention her fresh baked croissants?? What a way to wake up! Also I highly recommend the wine tours. Jacopo arranged everything and it was so much fun! It was so nice to spend the day relaxing and visiting wineries. Jacopo and his team truly want you to enjoy your time and have the best possible experience . I only wish I could have stayed longer!

A Beautifully Well Run Property
I have no qualms recommending this property wholeheartedly. It is very well-run. The space is comfortable and well-equipped. We had a party of 13 people and the villa can accommodate a party of this size comfortably. There are 7 full bedrooms and bathrooms in each of these full bedrooms. The pool at the villa is perfect and well-maintained. The kitchen is fully-equipped with dishes, cooking utensils and even spices. You are able to make your own meals comfortably should you choose. There are many conveniently located supermarkets not far from the villa. We took advantage of the Tuscan dinner arranged by Jacopo and it was absolutely delicious and worth it! The local town Citta della Pieve is an easy 10 minute walk away or you can drive and park easily right at the outskirts of town and walk in. Our two favorite restaurants in town were Trattoria Bruno Cappetta and Taverna del Perugino. People in the town are super nice. Don't miss visiting the area around the local lake - Lake Trasimeno - which is very charming. We attended a summer festival there and very much enjoyed seeing how the local people spend their summer evenings. The local train station Chiusi is about a 17 minute drive away and we took a train from there to Florence one day (in under 2 hours). When we had a minor issue with a showerhead, it was replaced the next morning. One of Jacopo's team members, Brian, comes every day to take care of the villa and will address any issues you might have. Brian is very friendly and did a good job keeping the grounds perfectly manicured and immediately fixed things like a lightbulb that needed replacing. We also opened up the optional 8th bedroom for the last minute guests to our group. This 8th bedroom is outside and on the side of the house and also has its own bathroom. While this room was perfectly adequate, it is in reality a notch below the other rooms in charm and has no air conditioning. Due to its location in the basement it did not need air conditioning and there is a fan but I wanted to mention this for anyone who might need the space. If you don't need this extra separate fee bedroom then this will not apply to you. Overall, we had an amazing time and everything went very smoothly at the villa. We did not have the opportunity to spend any time with Jacopo in person but he was very communicative by Whattsapp for checkin/checkout and our minor issues.

Sprawling Farmhouse with stunning views!
Villa Baiocco was the perfect backdrop for our yoga retreat. This is the place you go to get away from it all but at the same time it is a great base to explore Tuscany and Umbria. The nearby town Citta della Pieve, within walking distance, provides opportunities to shop, eat and wander. Well equipped farmhouse with breathtaking 360 views. So many places to retreat to with a book or glass of wine in hand. The best part is owner Jacopo is a pleasure to deal with. Responsive, reliable and helpful. Answered a hundred questions beforehand and easy to communicate with. Great staff who catered to our needs. We opted for a daily meal service. Cooking class is very interactive and loads of fun. His car hires professional and very comfortable. We loved our experience so much we are returning next year. Grazie mille Jacopo.

Magnificent Villa for a Group 50th Birthday
We rented this property from Jacopo for 1 week for my wife's 50th birthday and 9 other friends. We were very comfortably housed with separate bedrooms each and ensuites. Jacopo was very accomodating and we made use of breakfast each morning, the welcome dinner and the very tasty Tuscan Dinner. We also used the touring services to Assisi and Montepulicano on 2 occasions and had a fantastic time that was very much value for money. Jacopo organised massages for the Group, bookings at local restaurants, taxi pick ups and transport to Rome without fuss and with a smile. We organised a harpist and violinist who played at the villa making it a special occasion on the birthday night. Overall Jacopo was very accomodating in a well kept, clean, beautiful villa. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Fantastic experience at Podere Biaocco
My wife, kids, and my wife's Italian-American family stayed in this VRBO in April 2018, for one week. We found the property on the VRBO website, and were impressed with the high number of positive reviews. There are a number of great things about this property. For one, the owner, Jacopo, is a perfect host. We communicated with him with countless questions before our arrival, and he always got back to us within 24 hours. Upon arrival, Jacopo was very pleasant and again always available to help, but not at all overbearing (he lives about 15 minutes away, he told me). The location of the villa is ideal. The town of Citta Della Pieve is quaint and small but has a number of good restaurants and a grocery store, and is walking distance from the villa. The villa is on the outskirts of Citta Della Pieve, and is very private. It's about a 15 minute drive to Chiusi, where the closest train station and car rental agency are. In the week we stayed in this villa, we drove from Rome in under 2 hours; to Florence in 1.5 hours; to Pisa and Lucca in 2.5 hours; and to Siena in about 1 hour. The driving in Rome was somewhat challenging, but easy around Umbria and Tuscany (we used iphone navigation). The villa itself is gorgeous and authentic. It was spotless when we arrived. It was chilly in April, and one of our favorite memories is gathering around the fireplace in the main room (Jacopo supplied a large amount of firewood for free). We were easily able to accommodate 10 adults and 2 children in this villa. I appreciated the fact that Jacopo was very up front about costs. There is a limited supply of items for sale in the villa - wine, water, beer, extra toilet paper, as well as some branded sweatshirts and other swag. We did not use any gas for heating while there, but there is a potential charge for that. We had Jacopo's team prepare several meals (daily breakfast, as well as a cooking class, a welcome dinner, and the Tuscan dinner) - all were delicious and an excellent value. Jacopo arranged for our group a wine/cheese/olive oil tour, which everyone loved; he also set up an airport transfer, which worked out perfectly. The only downsides I can think of for this villa are that several of us felt the pillows were too thin, and the mattresses thin/soft. Really this was an ideal vacation home for our family, and we would return in a heartbeat. Several in our group were nervous about renting a home in Italy, and Jacopo made it go flawlessly!

March 2018
The trip started out a bit rough as half of our group had their flights canceled. Being that we were at less than 30 days, we couldn't cancel the guest house or 8th bedroom. Admittedly, that put a damper on things. But Jacopo went above and beyond in making our stay the best in could be, including giving us a credit for an extra night for those who flew in a flew days late. The food was excellent, the town nearby was charming, and the house was warm and comfortable. The best part was the host though, as Jacopo really went above and beyond to arrange taxi rides, tours, and cooking lessons for our group. Thanks Jacopo!
