This was an ideal location to visit Florence, Pisa, Siena, Luca et al - most of Tuscany. Train services to most of the above were easy, reasonably priced and efficient from this location - with free parking (who knew!!). We do recommend this property.

Wonderful!

Everything about the villa was outstanding! If we could have remained for a month (or more), we would have. We loved the peaceful and beautiful view of the countryside, and after long days being tourists, returning to “our” place was so relaxing. Jane and Giampiero are the perfect hosts, and we enjoyed chatting with them. We also loved our visits from Jasmine and Peggy. All in all, we would return in a heartbeat.

Charming with Gorgeous Views - Do it!

This was a “friends trip” our first together and it was just perfect. We came for the “experience “ and we got our money’s worth. The scenic photos paled in comparison to the reality of the views. The villa is pretty and quaint old world charm. Jane the owner, was very responsive and even coordinated a wine tasting at the castle (do this!), a personal cook and stocked the fridge (do this too). Be sure to ask to arrange for things you might want ready for you when you arrive (paper products, napkins, etc). She’ll gladly answer any questions. Jane was on holiday during our stay and her friend Martyn and his wife took care of us beyond belief. Including saying up after midnight to guide us in by flashlight - not kidding. Long story he can share. Martyn and his wife shared their area knowledge and hooked us up with a charming restaurant in Rufina - we were the only non-locals…just what we wanted. Pontassieve train station is nearby we drove there and we took train in to Florence. We also shopped at co-op which we easily navigated. We’re still talking about the experience weeks later. Highly recommend.

OUR ITALIAN VILLA

It was a fabulous visit to Florence and Tuscany! Jane and Gianpiero are excellent hosts. They provided suggestions of local areas to visit, did some early food shopping for us, assisted in making dinner reservations at wonderful restaurants and located a local cook who came to the villa and made incredible Tuscan meals on two occasions. I cannot say enough about the villa, a 15th century fortress with twenty first century accommodations and fabulous views of the Tuscan countryside--which only made our afternoon cocktail hour more enjoyable. The villa is 25 minutes from Florence by train; and is a perfect starting point to enjoy the Tuscan region by car.

Beautiful Tuscan Getaway!

Jane is such an amazing and thoughtful host. She provided a robust guide to us as well as very clear directions so the house was easy to find. She and her family are incredibly friendly, always willing to answer questions and provide suggestions. The property is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy views of rolling vineyards and Tuscan countryside. There are hiking trails around the property, including a trail leading to the Castle up the hill. Pontassieve is the nearest town, it is very charming and a nice escape from the madness of Florence. Look out for Peggy the cat and Jasmine the smiling dog!

If I tell you about this property, it will be harder for me to book it... it's perfect!

We stayed 7 nights on this lovely property and fully intend to stay here again. Jane is a marvel. She's extraordinarily communicative on WhatsApp and helpful in arranging reservations. Her restaurant recommendations, both in the countryside and in Florence were A+++. Jane stocked our fridge before we arrived and helped with any random questions we had during our stay. The property itself is immaculate and lovely. There are other properties associated with this rental so you will see other people, but it's set up in such a way that you really have privacy in the unit. Your view of the vineyards and Pontassieve in the distance are completely private. We enjoyed quiet, romantic dinners outside, took our coffee in the morning in complete silence, set laundry to dry, etc. Do not be concerned about the proximity of other renters... you won't notice them. It was just the two of us, and we found the downstairs bedroom to be naturally cooler without running the A/C, so we chose to sleep there. If you're traveling with a larger party the upstairs bedroom has A/C. The fact we had two full bathrooms made my wife very happy. The kitchen/dining room is enormous and fully stocked. We had no problem shopping in Pontassieve and cooking meals. What about the location--what's to say? It's perfect. We drove all over Tuscany and looked forward to "coming home" every night. It's a quick train to Florence. We even shot up to Venice for once night with ease. 10/10!

Perfect Tuscany Base

Villa di Sopra is a very nicely converted old stone building in a beautiful, tranquil setting, set within the wonderful vineyards and rolling hillsides of Tuscany. A perfect location to recharge your batteries and enjoy a glass of local wine as the sun goes down, but equally a great base to explore all the fascinating sights and cities within reasonable driving distance. We took a train to Florence, an easy 30 mins from the local station, and drove to Siena, Vinci, Arezzo, Assisi and Cortona, luckily arriving in Cortona on one of their festival days. There are lovely walks in the countryside straight from the Villa, and during our stay in June plenty of wild flowers out in bloom. Check forecasts though in case thunder is expected. We got caught out and arrived back looking like drowned rats! The hosts Jane and Giampiero are lovely and welcoming, providing expert and helpful advice on what to see and where to eat, or just having a natter about their wonderful home. Will we go back?….I think you know the answer 😊

Not a place to stay and eat dinner out in Florence

Difficult to find, directions not good. Difficult to stay and eat dinner out and find your way back. Left three days early no refund for days not stayed. At time of booking we’re not told we had to stay a week and tried to change reservation and we’re no allowed to change it. A week is too long. No way was it a 15 minute walk to the castle.

Truly the most perfect, relaxing, magical stay at Borgo di Sopra!

I cannot say enough good things about Borgo di Sopra and our wonderful hosts, Jane and Giampiero! From the moment we arrived (much later in the day than planned due to travel delays), Jane and Giampiero did everything to make sure our stay was perfect. From a toasty fire lit in the hearth to a pantry stocked with a few requested groceries, they were so incredibly kind and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our month-long stay. Perfectly situated just a short drive to the local train station, Florence is a quick trip away and Pontessieve has everything you need for your vacation. The kitchen is well appointed and perfect for cooking anything you can think of, the beds and furniture are cozy and comfortable, and the view is unparalleled. Jane’s book of recommendations is full of great tips for exploring and making the most of your time in Tuscany (definitely take her advice and book a wine tasting at Castello Nipozzano! The wine is amazing and the snacks are more like a delicious meal, perfect for lunch!). I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Tuscany and we can’t wait to go back! This review could be 1000 words long and I still don’t think I’d be able to convey how much we loved our stay at Borgo di Sopra! Thank you thank you thank you Jane and Giampiero!

Beautiful oasis

Beautiful, amazing, a breath of fresh air, a few ways to describe the house but also the owners. Jane and her husband may be the sweetest people we have ever met and were always at our fingertips to help with any questions or issues. Their dinner recommendations were amazing and the hospitality was above and beyond. The views were enough to make us want to stay forever and just a easy drive from many sights we wished to see. We were able to spend 10 amazing days here and visit Siena, Florence, Anghiari to name a few and the small town of Pontessieve was just down the road and such a sweet little spot to catch a late bite or an early coffee at the local “bar”. We loved the quiet tranquility of being away from it all and the winery just above us Castello di Nipozzano was the most beautiful experience which Jane booked for us and we went a second time to stock up on their delicious wines before we left. We hope to return again one day and say hello to our new friends and enjoy this little slice of heaven. Absolutely wonderful in every way. La dolce vita!

Idyllic Tuscan Villa

We had an amazing time at Borgo di Sopra. Jane was extremely helpful in her communication following the booking and in making our stay as easy as possible once we arrived. Both Jane and Giampiero made us feel at home straight away and were the perfect resource for local information and helping with bookings . The Villa itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the garden and terraces (and the smell of the walnut trees) and we spent every evening outside looking down the valley over the vineyards. We can't wait to go back again!
