We just returned from a week at Foresteria and it was wonderful. The accomodations were charming and the staff is extremely helpful and nice. The location is perfect for touring all of the hill towns in Tuscany and day trips by train to Florence and Rome. The views of the mountains and the abundance of roses adds to the magic... More

What can one say about Foresteria... other than the fact that it is absolutely beautiful in every way! Myself and my oldest sister stayed there for 4 nights and I wish we had stayed longer. Mariann and her partner as well as all other staff must be commended on creating a holiday experience that is truly Tuscan. My parents as... More

We spent a week here with 7 friends staying in 2 apartments (one 4 bedrooms and one 3 bedrooms). Marianne is a wonderful manager -friendly, helpful planning day trips, recommending restaurants, and just an all around wonderful hostess. The accommodations are old fashioned and pleasant but not luxurious. Bathrooms are functional with small showers. The scenery, fruit orchards, and location... More

We went in November/December of 2006(the option drop down menu only goes back to 2007), but I'm determined to share my great experience! Plus we are traveling again, and I want to be able to share my experience here, as Trpadvisor has been so great in helping my family decide upon our accomodations. The reviews and ratings are such helpful... More

We were a group of 4 adults and 2 teenagers who travelled independently to Tuscany in July 2008. We stayed in the nonno dulio rooms at Il Foresteria. This was the upper floor of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse comprising of 3 double rooms with private bathrooms and three different public sitting areas. The kitchen area was basic but sufficient for... More

We have just returned from a two week stay at Il Giardino Di Fontaronco. (24 April- 09 May 2009) and it was fantastic. The place itself is what you'd expect from a villa in Tuscany. It's rustic charm beautiful gardens all surrounded by many many acres of apple, pear and peach orchards.The two girls who were our hosts Marian and... More

We spent a week in July 2008 with our 2 year old in the Foresteria and loved it. It is down in a valley with wide open views of the surrounding mountains, etc. There was plenty of place for him to roam around on the grounds and play. The pool space was nice... there was another family there that spent... More

I have asked tripadvisor to remove the previous entry written by us regarding our deposit. I have just spent the last 12 hours where Francesco has called us directly in Australia and also emailed back and forth to try and make things right - he has been fantastic! It seems that there was a problem that was out of his... More

...though it's one of those places that you're inclined to keep a secret. My husband and I took my parents to Italy in early October. I stumbled on the Foresteria while searching online and was captivated by the photos and its history. It's even prettier in person. There's nothing like waking up to the mist settled on the orchards and... More
