Summary: From the moment we saw Livia's villa online, we knew it was THE ONE for three women wanting to really "live" in Tuscany. The location - from the terrace you see spectacular countryside (and magical sunrises too). Walk out the front door and up the hill and you are in the charming medieval village of Cetona. The sunny and warm piazza (where we sipped Aperol spritz in short sleeves in November!). Saturday morning market, a grocery store, pharmacy, bank and assorted shops and cafes (plus a Michelin star restaurant) - ALL right there! The villa is spacious and well equipped - we cooked in every night and always found what we needed. The beds were very comfortable (and I have a bad back so this is vital!), the towels and linens fresh and crisp. There is a lot of "stuff" in the house (it is a family villa after all) and quite literally miles of books (in every room). Yet after a few days I felt very much at home, like I was visiting my super-interesting relatives in their super-interesting holiday house. And then there is Patrizia - probably the best concierge/housekeeper ever! We muddled through with a mixture of (almost non-existent) Italian (us), marginally better French (also us, hers was stellar), a few English words, the translation app and a whole lot of charades. She always understood, acted promptly and never without a smile on her face. When we bid her farewell she hugged us all! No holiday rental is perfect but this one comes darn close ... thus "Perfetto"!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at Livia's villa. She and Patrizia were extremely responsive and helpful to our requests and went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home. The property was gorgeous and it really felt like we were emerced in the town itself, as it's central to everything and the local shops and restaurants are easily walkable. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable - but it's important to point out that all bedrooms do require a stair climb (something I wasn't sure I totally realized prior to booking). They being said, the stairs were pretty easy to navigate and my 82 year old father in law did so without any problems. Highly recommend this VRBO - you literally could not ask for a better host!

Summary: Livia was extremely helpful in making the holiday a success , well supported by Patrizia her housekeeper. The house is amazing given its location such a short walk for the centre of Cetona, a fabulous garden and pool and such an interesting property. Lovely and relaxing we didn’t need to move far with local restaurants, food shops and Saturday market within easy walking distance in Cetona.

Summary: Beautifully presented, spotless, with a stylish, relaxed and welcoming feel. This is truly a unique property, in a special location, offered by the perfect host. We stayed in this home for the month of November, mixing work with pleasure. The views are incredible and the broadband is extremely fast and reliable. The house is organised over several floors, with a bedroom and bathroom on each level. Being only 2 of us (+ dog), we mainly used the ground and 1st floor. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was very large and very comfortable. There was plenty of closet space/storage too. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower (great water pressure), a deep separate tub, another window…and another view! This property, feels more like a “home”rather than a rental property; full of warmth and personal touches, books and art. Even the kitchen has been carefully considered, and is perfectly stocked with everything you could possibly need. Absolutely everything! The beautiful terrace can be accessed from the kitchen and the lounge. It has plenty of seating and dining space and overlooks the large garden and beyond. Just stunning! Being November, we didn’t use the swimming pool, but we’d regularly journey down the steps, pass the olive & fruit trees, the second terrace, then down to the pool and the flat grassy area. There are over 100 steps, but the journey is enjoyable and the dog loved this morning run around! So much space! Cetona centre is just a 10 minute uphill walk. It is a lovely town with a large piazza. The people are friendly, generous, and kind. We ate at most of the restaurants, wine bar, pizzeria and cafe. All were very dog friendly! All of the food, wine and coffee was excellent. I mean really excellent! As was the local bakery, and deli. The host, Livia, was extremely helpful, very quick to respond and quick to offer help and advice. She went above and beyond to ensure we found some of the local walks and was generous with her time, information and assistance. We really can’t thank her enough for making our time in Cetona just perfect! After spending only a month in this property, we have truly fallen in love with this home, and with Cetona itself. We hope to return very soon!

Summary: I cannot say enough about this incredible property and the area! The home is comfortable, clean and perfect for families. We enjoyed the patio in the morning and for wine in the evening. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were spacious and the kitchen well stocked. The town is lovely. Quiet. Hilly but an easy walk to the piazza, even for my 75 year old parents. The home owner was awesome! Great communication, very helpful and responsive, as was her housekeeper. I would return in a minute and hope to do some someday soon! It was a trip of a lifetime!

Summary: We loved the house and the town. The view from the patio is breathtaking. We ate at 4 excellent restaurants and explored the surrounding towns. The spiral stairs to our 2nd 3rd and 4th floor rooms was a challenge for us old folks but we learned to plan ahead. Housekeeper has very limited English but owner was available by text to act as our interpreter. We hope we will be back.

Summary: I can't imagine a more valuable & transformative experience -- living a mere 10 minutes walk from the town center of a strikingly beautiful Tuscany village, largely untouched by tourism. We all fell in love with Cetona & especially this villa! Very peaceful & comfortable, with stunning views of the surrounding forest, farms & mountains. The owner is quick to respond to questions & concerns. Maid service is a nice feature. If I understand correctly, the owner's children were raised in this house, hence there is an intensely enjoyable sense that plenty of great memories already exist here. We only added to such fine memories! The shelves in the living room are packed full of books, CDs & DVDs. There are several areas you can meet, inside & outside. The pool is an adventuresome climb down from the villa -- ideal for children -- perhaps less so for older adults. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and a supermarket is, again, only a short excursion. We also enjoyed two local four-star restaurants, a charming wine cantina, and the gentle sense of being Italian villagers for a week. To emphasize, being part of a small Tuscan community was our goal and the villa exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning, and give it our highest recommendation!
