Unique Souvenirs And A Stunning Museum In Colle Di Val D'Elsa
Located in the Province of Siena,Colle di Val d’Elsa is a pretty medieval town that is not far from the historic via Francigena and was, therefore, a pit-stop for travellers and pilgrims for centuries. Like many cities in Tuscany, it was once a centre of artistic and artisanal production but, unlike most of its neighbours, remains that way to this day. It continues to be the Italian capital of crystal and, as such, has been nicknamed the “Bohemia of Italy.” In fact, Colle di Val d’Elsa accounts for 95% of all Italian crystal glass production and 14% of the global production of crystal, which is an incredible feat.
Due to this scale and the economic importance of the craft in the town, it remains central to life for locals, with the first Sunday of each month playing host to a crystal market in town and open-air demonstrations of glass-making (from around 3pm) in the historical centre of the city on Via della Misericordia. In addition, there is also a rather special museum dedicated to the craft, the Museum of Crystal of Colle di Val d'Elsa, which puts these incredible objects on display. If you have found a holiday rental in Siena and are spending time exploring the province, set aside some time to get a little bit off the beaten tourist path and come enjoy the peace and beauty of this amazing town and its rich cultural history. You might even pick up a piece of crystal as a special and lovely souvenir of your time in this beautiful part of the world.

Visit The Orange Flag Awarded Town Of Colle Val D’Elsa!
The exciting town of Colle Val d’Elsa in Tuscany would be an excellent stopover for a day or two during your holiday to Tuscany. It won the prestigious Orange Flag Award for its unusual yet beautifully constructed town. The top of Colle Val d’Elsa is called Colle Alta and the bottom, more modern part of the town is called Colle Bassa. Tourists can walk up and down to both sections but there’s an inbuilt lift to carry you up and down if you wish! There’s a fantastic range of holiday rentals in the River Elsa valley close to the town itself where tourists can rest after a few days of enjoyable exploration!

Villa Spotlight: The Historic And Magical Villa Staggia In Siena
While, of course, there are a range of different Tuscany villas to browse across our websites to suit all sorts of budgets, groups, tastes, preferred locations, desired features and amenities, etc, we cannot help but admire a particular kind of villa: the stunning historic properties plucked directly from our dreams! These incredible gems boast stunning interiors, incredible surroundings and grounds, remarkable characters and histories, and just endless visual appeal. For those who have always wanted to stay in a palace or old manor and get a taste of the lives of ancient nobility, these really are a dream come true!
An example that we have been admiring lately is the extraordinary seven-bedroom and seven-bathroom Villa Staggia, located 13km (8 miles) from Poggibonsi and 24km (15 miles) from Siena in green and leafy private grounds that overlook lush fields and rolling hills so typical of this magical region.

The Terrifying Legends Of Strozzavolpe Castle In Tuscany!
Visit the small grim Strozzavolpe castle near Poggibonsi in the province of Siena in Tuscany and learn about the huge array of eerie myths and legends that envelop it! Visitors wishing to stay in the Poggibonsi area for a few days have a fine selection of great holiday rentals available to them.
There are tales of countless ghosts that haunt the walls of this thousand year old castle but two in particular stand out. One is the story of when the castle was being constructed. A wild animal, described as looking like a huge fox or wolf is said to have terrorised the builders and the castle owner, called Bonifacio.
He was outraged that this creature was causing such a disruption and planned to get his revenge. He strangled the creature with a rope and buried its body within the foundations of the castle. It’s believed that the castle got its name from this grisly tale as it's called Strozzavolpe and the Italian translation of fox is ‘volpe’. Many locals have claimed to have heard the howling of this doomed creature at night as it seeks revenge on Bonifacio for killing it.

The location, common areas and pool area of the property are all very enjoyable. The pool is kept spotless and is a very good size. The attitude of the owners / hosts was less than welcoming when a request was made of them and we found their hospitality to be the least accommodating of any AirBnB or Agriturismo host in our 6 weeks in Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. Take whatever you think you may need including a steam iron etc if you are heading to a formal event.

We were very pleased with our stay at ABSL! We were a large group - 10 people including my parents, my sister's family and our family, including 3 young kids under 5. The property was beautiful and the accommodations more than met our needs. We stayed in the main villa which had 4 spacious bedrooms and one smaller single room (which is exactly what we required). The kitchen easily fit our entire group for dinner. We ate one meal at the restaurant downstairs and everyone felt that the meal was one of the culinary highlights of our 2 week trip to Italy. The grounds had a small playarea that was ideal for our young children, and a beautiful pool (it was a little too chilly in early October, but we took a couple of dips nonetheless!). The location of the Villa is ideal for short day trips to Tuscan villages such as Sienna, Volterra, San Gimignano or the Chianti District. Not hard to get to Pisa or Florence either. We would happily return.

Great experience. There was a change in our reservation, which was not known to us until we arrived. Instead of the Fico unit, we were given the Rosa Bianca unit. It is much larger and we only used half of it for our family of four, however, we enjoyed the extra space at no additional cost.
The staff are very nice and helpful, answering any questions and in general making it a very enjoyable experience.
The location is also excellent for visiting the many sights such as Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence and Pisa. Also convenient to Poggibonsi for groceries etc.
Highly recommend it.

My wife, two teenaged children and I stayed for 9 days. The facilities were very comfortable, albeit on the rustic side. The location was ideal for touring Tuscany from a comfortably located home base. The owners were pleasant and welcoming but did not disturb or intrude on anybody's privacy. Value for the money spent was excellent. We did not try the restaurant on site although the menu looked wonderful. We preferred to cook for ourselves with food bought from the supermarket located in nearby Poggibonsi. Very convenient. If I was planning another tour of the same area, I would not hesitate to book it again.

Nos Alojamos en Antico Borgo S Lorenzo en agosto 2013. Somos un matrimonio con chicos de 9 y 13 años, y viajamos con nuestros padres, mayores de 70 años. Tomamos la casa Rosa Bianca.
Todo el proceso de reserva y contratacion fue muy agil y eficiente.
La propiedad era tal cual se la ve en las fotos de la pagina web. y cuando uno llega a ese lugar y lo ve en persona, realmente se emociuona. Se mezcla la historia, la antiguedad y lo moderno con perfecta armonia.
Las vistas son impactantes, y es lugar tiene una ubicacion estrategica ideal para hacer base y visitar desde alli la region de La Toscana, que es maravillosa.
Los ambientes son muy espaciosos y comodos. Las habitaciones son amplias y ventiladas. Los muebles antiguos, pero funcionales. Y los baños arreglados a nuevo, aunque a mi criterio les faltaria agarres para comodidad de presonas mayores o de movilidad reducida. Y cortinas para evitar mojar todo el baño.
La cocina es sumamente espaciosa para 10 personas.
El restaurante Bandini es muy bueno, si algun dia uno prefiere cenar o desayunar alli. Es muy bonito y de gran calidad.
La pileta es muy grande y es una buena opcion para luego de los paseos por la zona.

We stayed in Cipresso for two nights. The property is lovely, well maintained and in a quiet, scenic location at the bottom of a valley. Reception was warm and staff very helpful. The kitchen was more than adequate for cooking, although we didn't use it much. Not every room had a window with an insect screen though, which I thought was essential as mosquitoes were pretty common in this part of the country in summer.
The coordinates given on the website are not entirely accurate, as our GPS led us to another property. Better to follow the road directions and look for Casa Bandini signs - these are, fortunately, quite prominently placed on the road. The locals in the surrounding areas are not very familiar with the name Antico Borgo San Lorenzo (we had to ask for directions a couple of times) but everyone we asked knew about Casa Bandini.Overall, a lovely villa - I really wished we had more time there!

Antico Borgo San Lorenzo has a great location, easy to get to Siena, Volterra, San Giminano, Chianti region and also Florence ( adviseable to take the train, since parking is a problem ). Easy to get around if you have a car, shopping is good , ther is a great supermarket called PAM ! WE found a great restaurant called Il Casato about 4 KM on the way to Siena , owner recommended it , great food and service is also good.
On the property itself ( Alloro ) not bad, a bit dark and at the end of all the other apartments, it is close to the BBQ place , but nobody used it. The restaurant is nice ,but book in advance if you want to seat outside , menu is small but good.
One thing we did not like is , they give you one roll of toilet paper and that's it , you have to buy you one. We did not like that you have to pay for the internet and also for the washing , really for this prices it should be free.WIFI access only at one section of the property , which a section of the outdoor area of the restaurant and the samll cafe ! The pool is nice , but needs some repair work, our son fell on the tiles and had a deep cut , so some tile work to be done there especially the side facing up to the walkway towards the restaurant, the lining of the pool in one corner needs also to be taken care off.The owners and people there are helpful and nice.Location , location........ the best !

a lovely place to stay, great view, kids saw deer in the fields next to the property, pool was clean and a great way to end each day.
We had dinner in the villa restaurant on the last night and it was one of the best meals we had in italy!
Location was good - close to San Gimi, Siena and Castellina in Chianti - the must do's in Tuscany, relatively easy to find with the directions - thanks.

Great location, close to sienna and San Gimigano.
Especially the Rosa Bianca location is greatly refurbished, with authentic atmosphere in every room of the appartment.Very suitable to hold 2 families, since the 3 bathrooms all are nice and spacious.
