Under The Tuscan Sun!!!🌞
This beautiful property exceeded our expectations! We were traveling with three other couples and the house was exceptionally clean, roomy and had everything we needed. Words can’t properly describe the beauty everywhere you look. On our last evening we were treated to the most amazing sunset ever! Our sweet host Claudio and Angelica were very helpful and generously shared fresh eggs and honey from their chickens and honey bees. We would book this property again in a heartbeat!!

The Best
Outstanding home - every detail attended to- fully stocked kitchen- a basket of eggs from their chickens and their own honey on the kitchen table for our arrival- stunning property about 10 minutes outside of Siena- very peaceful and relaxing- 4 large bedrooms with en-suite baths-Angelica greeted us and explained how everything worked- she is delightful. Only complaint was the weather (end of April) lots of rain. No dryer - hard to dry clothes on a rack and couldn’t use the jacuzzi. Also Siena was extremely crowded with a definite lack of parking- This home is a little piece of heaven on earth.

Our Tuscany visit
We LOVED our stay in the Villa!! Angelica was a fabulous host. The home, the gardens, the views… words cannot describe how beautiful it all was!! There were three couples traveling together, the house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. Our sunset dinner in the garden followed by time in the hot tub was the perfect way to end our last day there! ❤️

Exceeded expectations
From the moment we set eyes on this place, we knew that we chose well. Not only is it exquisitely beautiful, but it is very comfortable. The setting is spectacular. The owners who greeted us were friendly. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were good too with plenty of hot water in the showers. The kitchen was well-equipped. Al fresco eating made it perfect. We hated to leave and would recommend others to book without any questions.

Great house and lovely hosts
The house was an excellent fit for our group, plenty of seating, beds and bathrooms. And beautifully clean and well maintained. The hosts were very responsive; we lost heat and power due to a storm, and they addressed it right away. A car is required, the house is 15 minutes from Siena. Children might enjoy the ducks, and the view was amazing. Thank you Angelica and Claudio!

We were greeted upon arrival and the host was readily available for any of our needs. We were pleasantly surprised with fresh eggs and the host’s own homemade honey. The property itself was VERY tastefully decorated, very clean and the accommodations were top notch. The views were spectacular and every room inside and outside the house was comfortable. There were 6 of us and we all enjoyed our stay!!! Would love to return some day !!! Marlene USA

Incredible peaceful retreat
We LOVED this place! The proximity to Siena (10 mins), the views (rolling hills in every direction, incredible sunset), the outdoor covered patio where we enjoyed a chef prepared dinner and the ample space inside for our party of 5 plus toddler. There were chickens and ducks on the property and a swing set. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure was great with plenty of hot water. We would absolutely stay here again!

Tuscan Paradise
The villa was absolutely beautiful! Great views of Siena and outdoor seating area with hot tub. It was nicely decorated with a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed several delicious home cooked meals there after days of touring the region. The hosts were lovely warm and welcoming people. Let us pick tomatoes from the garden for our salad. I would highly recommend for couples traveling together. Perfect property!

Wonderful home in Tuscany!
You won’t be disappointed if you stay here! Fabulous 4 bedroom, 4 full baths, completely updated and very nicely appointed home, we all recommend you stay here. The hosts are very easy to get along with and very welcoming. It is spacious, with nice Tuscan views and close to several medieval cities like Siena, Florence, and Montepulciao. We highly recommend, the best place we stayed in Italy!

A Stay We Will Never Forget
We have stayed in many vacation rentals, but none compared to this fabulous home. Angelica and Claudio, along with the team at Best of Mas were fantastic. The home is so beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The surrounding gardens, view, and property made us feel right at home in Tuscany. Easy access to Siena and groceries. We can't say enough nice things about this home and the hosts. Can't wait to return. This will be our go-to spot in Siena.

Claudio and Angelica were wonderful hosts and accommodating when our travel plans didn’t go quite as planned. Their home was beautiful, relaxing, and clean.

Best Rental in Tuscany or Anywhere
Over the years we have stayed in many rentals, and several in Italy. This rental is perfection. There was not anything that was not perfect in this villa. The view is far more beatiful than the pictures suggest, the rolling hills seem to go on forever and there is an excellent view of Siena from the unit as well. The location is only 10 minutes from the center of Siena and easily reachable by taxi or car. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds, the kitchen well is well equiped, the owners attentive and helpful. They will help with any detail you may need. It is the best villa we have rented in probably in all our time using VRBO.

Wonderful Tuscany experience
This villa is exactly as pictured. Clean, roomy, and a beautiful location. The hosts were extremely responsive to any request. The beds were very comfortable. It had many amenities and comforts of home. Unfortunately the weather was too cool for us to use the hot tub. Our experiences that we booked were perfect. The Villa location necessitated us having a driver to see the many sights we wanted to visit so we hired their driver, Francesco. He was wonderful, a skilled driver and a kind man. We had Ambra cook our dinner on the afternoon of our arrival. It was delicious and she was so entertaining. Do not hesitate to book this villa for a lovely Tuscany vacation
