Vacation rentals in Castra

Beautiful apartment with everything you need and worked well for our two young kids. It’s steps away from the Ponte Vecchio and close walking to all the major sites. I would definetly recommend staying here!

Charming little cottage perfect for a small family in the hills near Florence. Had everything we needed. About 25 minutes drive through the country to central Florence so perfect for day trips in. Lovely walks in the olive groves around the cottage.

Everything about our stay was so perfect! Pino was very kind. We really appreciated that we received his great olive oil as a welcome gift (and decided later to buy several bottles in the small shop, and also a bottle of his wine!). Our cabin was the last one, which gives you a lot of privacy, nobody is walking past it. The cabin has everything you need, but we spent most of our time on the lovely veranda (we especially loved the hammock!). The view is so beautiful and the place is just so peaceful. You are surrounded by nature, like the olive trees, and we could even see a flock of sheep on the other side each day, which was an adorable sight. This place really allowed us to relax, which is exactly what we were looking for. Hopefully we will be able to come back one day. Thanks again for everything, Pino!

We’ve had a lovely week at Podere Grignano, a haven of peace, tranquility and greenery. It’s isolated, but that’s why we chose the location. The last kilometre of the road is quite rough. Just go slow! You can shop at Volterra, 35 minutes away. No osterias or trattorias nearby. But Podere has excellent cooking facilities so we had a wonderful time preparing and consuming the local produce and wine. Bedroom was spacious and comfortable, bathroom modern and water is hot. Stefano and Roberta are lovely hosts, discrete but helpful- and the owner, Marco, gives you detailed instructions on how to find Podere. The attached cottage is BEAUTIFUL, just as the pictures show. It was spotlessly clean, had lots of little extras: Stefano gave us a bottle of their magnificent olive oil. We spent the week visiting numerous hilltop towns (including San Gimignano, but seriously, there are tiny gems that avoid the tourist hordes.) Love the views, love the accommodation, love the countryside. Come here…

As a family of 4, we had a perfect stay at La Lucertola. Luisa and Colin were friendly, attentive and helpful from the minute we arrived to when we left. They were available on the phone throughout, if needed. The music studio was an incredible addition - we felt very lucky to have access to it throughout our stay. The accommodation is located up a narrow track, but this meant we had access to stunning views and wildlife all around. Although the pool was cold, due to the time of year we visited, it didn’t stop us using it a couple of times. The pool is perfectly located - overlooking Pisa. There was plenty of seating around the pool and, although other families were staying in the house next door, it didn’t once feel like we couldn’t use any of the facilities. Other great facilities worth mentioning - the pizza oven is such an experience - to make pizzas overlooking the tower of Pisa, in Italy, was incredible. We also had all the cleaning items and linen we needed too. Grazie.

We had a very nice, relaxing stay on Bellavista. Angela and her father were extremely welcoming. We were supplied with our own wine, homemade luggage and farm fruits. Staying on Bellavista was definitely worth it and we'll be in the area again at some point, we'll be back! Wehrli family

Nada and her daughter Viola have created a stunning home which provided a beautiful setting to recharge and rest for the next leg of our trip. Both Nada and Viola were communicative, friendly, and available to address any issues (not that there were many). Viola created a fun cooking class and was even able to cater it to my sister’s gluten free diet. Do not hesitate to book your stay here, and definitely do the cooking class. Thank you, Nada and Viola!

The arrival was very smooth, we were very well received! The car parking space is very safe and practical! The apartment was spotless, spacious bathroom and great shower. The cleanliness and organization is a 10! Very quiet place and close to the main center! All great!
