From the moment we arrived Guido and his family made our stay here brilliant. We stayed in apartment 2B and it was beautiful. The setting is quite surreal with amazing views over the Tuscan countryside. There is everything here to make your stay enjoyable. We have two small children who had plenty to do whilst we were able to relax,... more

My husband took me the first time for my 50th birthday. We loved it so much we returned with my Dad, and my sister and her family. Now we are planning to return with friends. Our return visit was even better than remembered. The villa is beauriful, clean, comfortable and there is a serenity there as you gaze across the... more

We've been staying there for three years now - need... more

We had a wonderful weeks stay at the Castello, it was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. The Castello sits in a private spot yet close enough for amenities and is perfect for visiting villages and towns if you want to do so.

Guido does a fantastic job of running the property and gives you a tremendous amount of information at the start. He has an excel spreadsheet of... more

Our extended family of five stayed at the Castello di Pastine. It was a bit hard to find the first time, but well worth the trip. It is perched high above a hill with beautiful views of the adjacent hills and San Gimignano. In only 15-30 minutes you can drive to many beautiful hill towns. Beautiful pool, although too cold... more

But what really stunned me is the view....terrific!!! The gardens are clean and well designed; the swimming pool is the largest I have ever seen in similar country... more

We had a fabulous stay at Castello di Pastine. The staff couldn't be more helpful and the property is beautiful. It's set in hectares of land in the middle of the tuscan countryside. It's approximately midway between Florence and Siena. The main property is situated near the gorgeous pool, where there is also a sunset terrace- again beautiful! We didn't... more
