Guest Reviews
- Pini (10/5): - הצוות מדהים המקום מעוצב בטעם נפלא
- Andreas (10/5): - Loved our stay here. Stefano and Luisa were incredibly warm.and friendly and offered great suggestions for how to spend our time in the area. Our apartment had a great view and.was very comfortable. The kitchen on our arrival was filled with breakfast items, cheese, wine, biscuits and the hosts arranged fresh bread if we wanted it. These were lovely touches. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Tuscany. Would love to stay here again! Nothing, everything was lovely
- Anna (10/5): - Oasi di pace
- Gladys (10/5): - Posto meraviglioso. Stefano e Luisa sono gentilissimi e si vede quanto sono appassionati e innamorati del loro territorio. Grazie per tutti i consigli!
- Roberto (10/5): - The staff is extremely friendly. They were helpful with each of our days' plans. The breakfast is different than in other places: they leave stuff at the apartment and you prepare it on your own - quite convenient to not be tied to a schedule. Luisa would give us whatever we needed for each day: cake, eggs, bread, home made jam, milk, etc.
The location is very quiet, even when is a stone's throw away for the road. We visited outside summer months so did not get to use the pool, but even so it was pleasant for the kids to play in the garden.
- Lorenzo (9/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Posto stupendo - Bellissima location, tranquilla e ben curata.Abbiamo apprezzato la struttura accogliente e molto pulita, ed è stato piacevole scoprirne la storia.
Ci hanno accolto con molta gentilezza e offrendo prodotti fatti da loro... Facendoci sentire a casa!
- Aurelio Arace (10/5): -
- Tomasz (10/5): Chętnie tam wrócę. - Świetna lokalizacja na wypady w okolice Chianti, Sieny czy Val di Orchia. Przepiękny widok z obiektu, niesamowita zieleń i cisza. Wewnątrz czyściutko a tereny wokół obiektu perfekcyjnie utrzymane. Bardzo serdeczni i pomocni właściciele, którzy pomogli nam zaplanować wycieczki i polecili dobre restauracje w okolicy. Śniadania w postaci zaopatrzonej lodówki, pieczywa, oliwy i domowego ciasta w pełni zaspokoiły nasze oczekiwania. Na powitanie otrzymaliśmy w prezencie pyszne wino. Byliśmy pod koniec kwietnia więc z basenu nie korzystaliśmy ale woda była krystalicznie czysta i bardzo zachęcała do kąpieli
- Alessandro (10/5): Tre giorni incantevoli. - Posto magnifico, con un giardino meraviglioso e una stanza fantastica un vero casolare. Nulla.
- Paolo (10/5): Relax in mezzo al verde - Confortevole e immersa nel verde. I proprietari sono gentili e disponili, pane fresco tutte le mattine, colazione top e camere belle, ordinate e pulite.
Davvero uno dei migliori agriturismi in cui siamo stati
- Emanuele (10/5): - L'accoglienza, come la disponibilità super da parte di Stefano e di Luisa..il posto merita per tranquillità e per rilassarsi è proprio l'ideale..
- Alexandra (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf met top service! - Wat een heerlijke plek!! De ligging midden in de natuur, de vogels die 's ochtend vrolijk fluiten als je wakker wordt. Wij hebben genoten. De studio is mooi, groot en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ook de vele verse ingrediënten voor het ontbijt, zoals heerlijke kaas, worst en eitjes, maken een verblijf op deze locatie helemaal af.
Stefano en Luisa zijn geweldig. Ze stonden altijd voor ons klaar met tips, informatie en mooie verhalen over hun bijzondere locatie. Wij komen graag nog een keer terug.
- Gonçalo (10/5): - O apartamento era perfeito, está tudo super bem cuidado, sentimo-nos como se estivessemos em casa, foram uns dias muito bons e recomendamos muito!!!
- Chiara (10/5): - Il posto, il verde, la colazione, la privacy
- Jakub (10/5): -
- Christoph (10/5): Das Toskana Komplettpaket - Sehr ruhige Lage mit tollem Ausblick auf die Weinberge der Toskana. Stefano kümmert sich toll um seine Gäste, jeden Morgen (wenn man bei ihm das Brot abholt, welches er frisch vom Bäcker mitbringt) fragt er was man heute unternimmt, gibt entsprechend Tipps oder reserviert gar Parkplätze in der jeweiligen Innenstadt.
Als Willkommensgeschenk gibt es eine Flasche Rotwein (ohne Etikett) und ein Stück Kuchen von Stefanos Mutter.
Wenn man mal nicht die Gegend erkunden möchte, kann man am Pool entspannen - wir wurden dann auch spontan zum Grillen mit der Familie eingeladen, ein toller Abend!
Alles in allem der perfekte Ort um abseits der touristischen Städte die Toskana zu genießen.
- Milena (10/5): Esperienza da ripetere - Struttura accogliente, familiare e molto curata nei minimi particolari soprattutto nella pulizia. Lo staff è molto cortese e disponibile ad ogni nostra necessità.
- Rebecca (10/5): La Fornace was an absolutely delightful place to spend a week. Highly recommend! - The hospitality: Luisa in particular made us feel so welcome, and our baby fell in love with her! She (and Stefano) gave us excellent local recommendations for things to do and eat.
The facilities: sunsets from the pool and from the tower were unforgettable. Having laundry on-site was very helpful, and having fresh bread/eggs every day a delight. The layout of apartments around the property is clever so that everything feels private and looks gorgeous.
The location: nearby Chiusdino has great views and great food. Lots to do locally but also a good jumping-off point for visits to Volterra, Monteriggioni, Murlo, Montalcino, Siena, etc. A comfortable couch upstairs in the tower would be a nice touch but there was nothing we didn’t like. Everything was well thought-out and lovely.
- Malte (10/5): -
- ofer (10/5): -
- Marin (10/5): - Everything was great
- Giacomo (9/5): Eccellente accoglienza e disponibilita' in posto incantevole e rilassante - Accoglienza strepitosa, colazione fantastica, location molto meglio dal vivo che in foto, posto assolutamente tranquillo e perfetto per riposare. Ecologico, che non guasta mai. Tantissime informazioni e suggerimenti disponibili. Se proprio vogliamo andare a cercare il pelo nell'uovo, il frigorifero e' leggermente rumoroso (potrebbe dare un po' di fastidio a chi ha il sonno leggero) ed il materasso del letto potrebbe essere migliorato. Sono dettagli che hanno compromesso il viaggio? assolutamente no.
- Kirpal (10/5): exceptional - every thing was nice, host was very good. Reasonably priced and clean.
- Deiss (8/5): - Sehr schöne Wohnungen mit privaten Terrassen alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. hervorragender Ort zum abschalten oder um Ausflüge zu den umliegenden Zielen wie Florenz Elba etc zu unternehmen.
- Isidoro (10/5): - Los anfitriones , Stefano y Luisa.
Siempre atentos y gentiles.
Excelente desayuno.
- Jean Michel (10/5): Une adresse à découvrir - L’emplacement isolé dans la campagne toscane
La beauté de la bâtisse .
La gentillesse de Stefano
- Lars (10/5): - Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage. Ein traumhaftes Appartement. Wir hatten den besten Urlaub in der wunderschönen Toskana.
- Kate (10/5): Perfect stay in Tuscany - Thank you Stefano and Luisa for an incredible stay. We appreciate your hospitality and your tips for visiting surrounding areas. The property is beautiful, and the kitchen and apartment has everything we needed. I highly recommend this place to everybody! Nothing. We wish we could have stayed longer.
- Shmuel (10/5): - תודה רבה למארחות שקבלו אותנו בחום ותמכו בכל צרכינו לאורך השהייה. חדרים אותנטיים, מרוהטים באופן ייחודי. מטבח ומקרר מלאים בכל טוב כך שאם ממש רוצים אפשר לבשל גם ארוחת ערב. נקודת יציאה מצויינת לטיולים באזור. הטמפ בלילות בחוץ ירדה מאד אך החדרים היו מחוממים בצורה טובה מאד.
- Manfred (9/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): Perfect for travelers seeking serenity, nature, and the true taste of Tuscany. Whether you’re a couple, a family, or a g - Stefano and Luisa are incredibly welcoming, offering thoughtful touches and great local advice on where to eat, what to visit, and how to make the most of your stay.
The property preserves many original architectural details such as exposed bricks, beams, and Tuscan character everywhere you look.
Spacious, well-equipped apartments: Each apartment is comfortable and comes with everything you might need.
The setting is tranquil and scenic, yet ideal for visiting Siena, San Galgano Abbey, San Gimignano, and other nearby gems.
- Yael (9/5): -
- Dorit (10/5): - Es hat uns sehr gut bei Stefano gefallen.
Die Appartements sind sehr schön renoviert und es war so, wie man sich die Toskana vorstellt. Stefano hat uns sehr viele gute Tipps mitgegeben, vielen Dank dafür.
- Michael (10/5): - Das ist keine 10 für ein 5* Luxusresort, sondern für Freundlichkeit, Authentizität und Leidenschaft.
Stefano hat hier einen unvergleichlichen Ort der Erholung in einer selbst wiederaufgebauten Ziegelbrennerei geschaffen.und mit Luisa eine herzensgute Hilfe an der Seite.
Die Wohnungen sind alle liebevoll eingerichtet und jede für sich individuell.
Jede Wohnung hat einen abgetrennten Außenbereich mit Sitzplätzen und Liegen und der Pool ist super schön.
Morgens und abends bieten sich tolle Sonnenauf- bzw. -untergänge.
Sichere Parkmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden.
Das gesamte Anwesen.wie auch der Olivenanbau sind biologisch ausgerichtet.
Auch ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Radtouren.
Selbst Siena ist nur 25km entfernt und Tagestouren mit dem Auto ins Val d'Orcia, zu den Thermalquellen weiter im Süden oder an die Küste im Westen sind problemlos möglich.
Rosaria in 11km Entfernung bietet alle nötigen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Stefano immer fragen, wenn man gute Tipps für Ausflüge oder Sonstiges braucht. Nichts. Ich kann die Unterkunft bestens empfehlen.
Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt!!!
- Joelle (10/5): Prachtig, rustig en vriendelijke accommodatie - Hartelijk ontvangen door de eigenaar. Daarnaast is het een heerlijke plek om even tot rust te komen. Met een prachtig landschap en een zwembad. Je zit wat ver bij restaurants vandaan, maar dit vonden wij niet zo erg. ;)
- Rebecca (10/5): Abschalten und genießen - Die Lage war super! Das Personal wahnsinnig herzlich und hilfsbereit! Jederzeit wieder!
- Serge (10/5): - L'accueil et la disponibilité de Stefano.
Chaque matin Stefano nous a donné des conseils et nous a fait partager ses connaissances de la région.
Logement exceptionnel. Rien.
- Jessica (10/5): Esse hotel é bem localizado com uma paisagem linda, o dono do hotel é super simpático, o quarto que ficamos era super es - Gostei de tudo, principalmente da paisagem!
- Grazia (8/5): - Alloggio pulitissimo. Piscina idem.accoglienza ottima. La colazione i cornetti in busta . Il caffè è preferibile una macchina con le cialde
- Turrini (10/5): -
- Michail (10/5): Value for money and ideal for families - Everything well thought and preserved, location is great to explore Tuscany especially around Siena. The apartment offers privacy and quiet even if there are other apartments at the same building.
- GABRIELLA (10/5): -
- Víctor (10/5): Vacaciones inolvidabes - Lugar perfecto para unas perfectas vacaciones y visitar la toscana.
la amabilidad y la atención de Stefano y Luisa, que fueron en todo momento muy atentos, Insuperables como anfitriones.
Recomendable 100% sin duda un lugar para volver.
Stefano y Luisa, habéis hecho de nuestra estancia unas vacaciines perfectas e inolvidables.
Grazie mille!!!!!!!! Todo fué perfecto.
- Felipe (8/5): Experiencia de agroturismo - La atención del personal muy atento recomendándonos excursiones y dejándonos salir 1 hora más tarde. El sitio está muy bien ubicado. Nos dejaron una cuna. El apartamento no estaba limpio del todo con muchas hormigas. No era cómodo porque al tener un bebé las escaleras dificultaban el acceso. En las instalaciones hay muchísimas abejas y no podíamos abrir la puerta de casa ya que se cuelan en el interior.
- Jutróczki (10/5): We will come back - We had a wonderful stay! The host was extremely friendly and helpful, always making sure we enjoyed our holiday. The apartment was very clean, the pool was lovely
- Luca (10/5): La mia migliore prenotazione last minute... - Nell'appartamento in cui abbiamo soggiornato non manca proprio nulla. Nonostante fuori fosse molto caldo dentro casa il clima era perfetto anche spegnendo l'aria condizionata. Gli spazi non mancano. In pochi minuti di macchina si raggiungono ristoranti, trattorie e supermercati ben forniti. l'host è una persona fantastica e disponibile. il rumore che arriva dai mezzi che percorrono la statale vicina avvertibile solo dallo spazio esterno rovina un po' la magia del posto
- Tomasz (9/5): - Sehr schöne Anlage mit einem sehr netten Besitzer, der sich um alles kümmert. Frühstück inbegriffen, ruhige Lage und ein großer Pool. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt. Das Bett war für mich ein bisschen zu hart. Die Straßen sind recht kurvig, was man bei empfindlichen Kindern beachten sollte, aber da kann die Unterkunft nichts dafür. Alles in allem war es eine schöne und sehr erholsame Woche.
- salvatore (10/5): -
- Dr. Henning (4/5): Wir sind nach einem von sieben vorab bezahlten Tagen abgereist. - Nichts Die Ausstattung war wie vom Flohmarkt, z.B. war im OG ein buntes Sammelsurium von Tischchen und Sesseln. Das Bett war eine Katastrophe, zwei Metallpritschen mit einen wackeligen Zierrahmen und Matratzen mit einem knatschenden Plastikschonbezug.
Das Frühstücksangebot bestand fast ausschließlich aus in Einzelportionen abgepackten Produkten. Krasser Gegensatz zum ökologischen Anspruch des Vermieters.
Wir sind nach einer von 7 bezahlten Nächten abgereist. Der Vermieter bot zunächst ein Entgegenkommen bzgl. der nicht genutzten Tage an. Leider war er anschließend nicht mehr zu erreichen. Unsere Entscheidung haben wir dennoch nicht bereut, anschließend hatten wir zu vergleichbaren Kosten wunderschöne Unterkünfte, die wir jederzeit weiterempfehlen können.
- Darjan (10/5): - Everything went smoothly. The hosts were extremely kind and accommodating. When minor health issues arose, the host promptly assisted and managed everything, even accompanying us and providing translation, for which I am sincerely grateful. Without any complaints.
- Silke (10/5): Rundum perfekt! - Lage, Stil und Aufteilung der Ferienwohnungen sind wirklich grandios. Pool wurde täglich gereinigt und war dementsprechend sehr einladend. Stefano und Luisa waren sehr herzlich und versorgten uns mit allen Informationen, die wir benötigten, um einen rundum perfekten Toskana-Aufenthalt zu haben. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! Tatsächlich nichts.
- Ion (9/5): Nice property in a quiet location but close enough to different sights if you have a car. -
- Goran (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roly58 (10/5): Tuscany idyll - The setting is wonderful, the host welcoming, thoughtful and generous. The architecture is so well thought through and it just feels so special. Space is generous and private. Information is readily available and Stefano will spend as long as you want to get to know the area. The pool was closed for our duration but looked large and inviting. The fact that this review might make it harder for me to book again!
- Nataša (10/5): Beautiful house, a perfect stay - highly recommended. - The location was perfect for exploring Tuscany. A lot of space. The appartment was big and clean, the kitchen was fully equiped and prefilled with food, which was great. The owners were very kind and helpful. The place was beautiful! If you have a larger car it is a little harder to enter the parking lot.
- Ankit (10/5): Great place, very private. Cozy. - The property is set on a beautiful hill, surrounded by so many olive trees. The room is quite cosy and fully equipped with a kitchen setup which we loved and didnt have to go out for lunch or dinner. We had a great stay and bought olive oil bottles from Stefano.
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marcos (10/5): Amazing - It is a beautiful property, located in a very peaceful location, with a wonderful view. We stayed in a great apartment.
It is a great base for exploring the Tuscany region.
We were very well received by Stefano and Luisa's hospitality.
They gave us great support, all information about the accommodation, as well as several tourist tips and restaurants in the area.
I definitely recommend this guest house to everyone, and I would love to be able to stay there again.
- Sue (8/5): Quaint place - Staff was very friendly. Each day the staff replenished the food for breakfast that I had used to cook breakfast. Bed was hard. Didn’t realize that we would have an upstairs bedroom and a downstairs bathroom - was a little tricky during the night.
- Georg (10/5): Great place to stay near Siena - This very nice country house is 15 to 20min away from Siena and located in the country side with lots of other Tuscan attractions close by.
Our apartement was comprisingly equipped - both the kitchen as well as the two bedrooms and the bathroom.
The host was extremely welcoming and explained everything including good options for dinner and sight seeing. They surprised us with some equipment for dinner in the apartment. -
- Jessica (10/5): Fantastic - La Fornace di San Galgano is a great starting point for exploring the Siena region and Tuscany. We really enjoyed our time in this extraordinary place.
Luisa‘s and Stefano‘s hospitality made us feel right at home.
- Sylvia (10/5): Wonderful stay with excellent hosts…. Can’t wait to visit again… highly recommend!!! - Good location…excellent views….quiet relaxing…very private. Was in area for a wedding at San Galgano Abbey and it was only a short drive. This stay followed a trip to Rome Venice and Florence and it was perfect to relax before the wedding. We were greeted with a bottle of wine…an assortment of snacks and homemade bread. Eggs milk cheese and bread are offered daily and hospitality is wonderful!! The parking is a little inconvenient but manageable
- Rached (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy accommodation, newly renovated, super friendly staff, delicious breakfast, peaceful location. Highly recommended!
- Dan (10/5): Exceptional - What I liked best is that the reviews turned out to be true: La Fornace was offered privacy, comfort and support to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as we were hoping for.
The flat was clean, comfortable and well thought-through in how it was furnished.
Stefano and Louisa were kind, helpful and practical.
A big and honest thank you to both of you :)
- Linda (10/5): Spacious with a view! The best place we stayed at in Italy! - What a beautiful spot in the Tuscan mountains. Stayed in the suite with the bedroom/bathroom downstairs, and the kitchen upstairs with windows on all 4 sides! We only got to use the pool once due to the weather, but it was perfect. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine, cake, cookies, packaged crackers, bread, jams, croissants - and the fridge/freezer had juice, milk, yogurt, eggs, salami, cheese, butter and orange juice! Spaghetti and a jar of sauce were so appreciated on our first night. A toaster, kettle, microwave, plenty of glassware, plates and cutlery. Luisa greeted us and made us feel right at home! She toured us around the property and shared its amazing history. She told us to come to reception in the morning at 8.30 for fresh bread and replenish what we'd used - we did! Used the washing machine, too. We saw 3 deer and a wild boar in the area outside the fencing. The view is spectacular! We didn't want to ever leave this paradise. Side trips to town for beer and salad, and a lovely restaurant as recommended. Went to Siena for one day, but it was hard to leave the property! I want to go back for longer. Thank you. The weather. It got cool and rained. We didn't get to sit outside on the lovely terrace.
- Potrzebowska (10/5): The best accomodation in Tuscany - The best choice you can make. It's a very nice place on a hill, so you have great views all around. Rooms are great, with everything you may need. You have plenty of things not only sweet, plus sth for dinner. They gave us a local wine as a welcome (you can also buy from them other local ones) you can also ask for a fresh bread each morning. The personel is super kind and helpful. They explain everything, give you advices about places worth to see in Tuscany, restaurants and what you might need. They speak good English, so no worries and text you back quickly. There is nothing bad about this place. 😁 maybe the fact that we weren't long enough there😁
- Jordan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay in this establishment! Stefano the host offers the beat quality/price i’ve seen in Italy.
Beautiful 2 stories apartment, very clean and cozy. We rented the Torre apartment, it has a kitchen on second floor.

- Karl (8/5): Relaxing friendly place - Stefano and Luisa welcomed us and were so informative and friendly. Stefano is so passionate about his property, it was great hearing about the history of it. Beautiful location in the heart of the Tuscan hills. My wife has a medical condition so can't eat gluten, an amazing selection of gluten free foods were provided, which was so kind. The home made cake, biscuits and orange jam, delicious! Also it was my birthday whilst there, I was left a bottle of wine with a note on our return from a day out. Such thoughtful people. Peaceful location, just what was needed to switch off. Hard bed
Swimming pool could have been open earlier and later, it would have been nice to have an early morning swim.
- Anonymous (10/5): Beautiful location, well equipped and maintained agriturismo, with thoughtful family owners. Hope to visit again! - Beautiful location and the property is an authentic tuscan style agriturismo, nicely built and furnished. The garden, the pool and all the surroundings was perfect for our holiday with 3 kids. The owners are extremely nice and helpful, could always give advice which city to visit, where to eat, etc. Florence, Pisa, the sea within 70 mins reach. Every appartment has a private, shady terrace. Overall it was our best holiday for years, everything as described (or better), no bad surprises.

- Jeanna (10/5): Lovely home with private entrance and patio area. Highly recommend and will stay there again - We were so excited that La Fornace was available when we booked our trip to Italy. We stayed for 5 nights and even though it was a rainy week, we explored every day. The owner, Stefano, refurbished an old brick furnace into lovely apartments that reflect the region. Each apartment has it's own private entrace and we were greeted with wine, cheese and other homemade goodies on our kitchen table. The apartment was so comfortable, quiet, and private. And the view was breathtaking. We highly recommend La Fornace to anyone staying in the area.

Stefano and his team made us feel very welcome and were actively involved with providing the best possible service. It is good place to unwind and relax The place is a little far off.

Luisa gave us great hints which provided us additional value to our travel. Stefano was a great host. La Fornace di San Galgano has truly earned the Booking high score!
- Marcin (10/5): Beatifull place in a heart of Tusacny with insane clean pool, and uniquely kind and healpfull stuff. - A place in some distance away from the "turistic heart of Tuscany". But in a quite short distance from "must visit" Tusacany places like San Gimigano, Siena and the others. A house build with modern technologies, but styled in the historical way. Every apartment has his own private entrance, with private patio a solution that gives a real feel of privacy. Our apartment with about 70 sqm, for 4 people, with AC, a large living room + kichen, and antresola as a sleepeing area. Then the pool, maintened in almoust pedantic way (cleanest outdoor pool I have ever used). A breakfasts as a food supplies preapred before arrive, to not to force guests to be prepared at thight hours. And at the end, a very helpfull, and kind employes and owner. Help you with everythink, give some advice about your stay in Italy. Also he is a real local guide, who help you to see everythink around. Give advice what is worth to see, what is underrated and what is overrated. Highly recommend this place, and this owner for your Tuscany holidays.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Eduardo (10/5): Amazing place in Toscana - Stefano welcomed us in his beautifully renovated agriturismo and shared the full history behind it. He also gave us a lot of tips to discover the region: Chianti, Val d’Orcia, Siena …
Our apartment was comfortable, with everything you need, and even more: there were some local products waiting for us in the fridge, and also a bottle of local produced wine. As it is situated in a nature resort, you can enjoy splendid views from your own terrace, and sleep peacefully.
For sure, a place to return to in the future.
