La Maestà Tuscan Sun — Local services in Castiglion Fiorentino

My friend and I spent a wonderful month in Italy in Sept/Oct 2018. We spent the last week with Rosalinda and family at La Maesta. What a fabulous week we had, where to begin. The hospitality was excellent, warm, authentic and friendly. Location was excellent; close enough to Umbria, did a day trip on the train to Florence, Montepulciano (one of our favourite towns), Cortana, Siena and easy enough for day tripping. Rosalinda would arm us with local maps and good advice a drop us off and pick us up each day.||||We went with no real plans and Rosalinda advised us of the best places to visit on our day trips. There is nothing like getting good advice from a born and breed local. Each day was amazing and we packed a lot of experiences into our week. We really needed more days to do a cooking class, just chill and we could have visited so many nearby towns and villages.||||We enjoyed the authentic Italian food made with love with fresh produce from the garden. The accommodation was very well set out with larger than average rooms. All set overlooking Tuscany.||||A wonderful experience that we will remember fondly forever.||A big thank you to Rosalinda, Stefano, Virginia, Lilla and Florentine for making our Tuscan holiday great. It really did exceed our expectations.||Went we first booked on line we thought the price was a little higher than expected (poor Aussie $) but we quickly realised that it was great...

This was our first time to Tuscany and indeed Italy so we did not know what to expect. We could not have been happier with our week at La Maesta with the 3 other couples we were travelling with. We had fabulous accommodation in our villas with 2 couples in each villa with our own bedrooms and bathrooms and common area overlooking the absolutely stunning Tuscan landscape. On the night of our arrival Rosalinda helped us plan our week based on where we wanted to visit - she then drove us and picked us up at the end of the day after recommending various sites we should explore in each destination. One day the 4 couples split up to see different attractions and she accommodated this as well. Rosalinda and her family especially her mom were so gracious in taking care of us and making us feel like family. The homemade breakfasts and suppers were superb and one evening we even had a cooking lesson! This holiday was one of the best my husband and I have ever had and we would certainly return...

Previously a travel agent, I knew exactly what I wanted. My partner and I (both 32) enjoyed an authentic Tuscan experience with Rosalinda and her family at La Maesta Agriturismo.

We stayed in a comfortable villa with private en-suite - cleaned daily with fresh towels - waking to incredible views, as well as to a home cooked breakfast with eggs, sourced fresh from the farm.

The property is nestled amongst olive trees, and has a lovely pool, perfect to cool off and enjoy the lazy sun-kissed afternoons.

This stay can be busy or as relaxing as you wish. Each day, We chose to discover a new town rich in history and culture. Rosalinda had many suggestions and was always thinking of our interests and needs. It is easy being driven to and from each destination as we learn about the Italian way of life.

For a truly Italian experience you can’t beat this incredibly charming, value for money, Tuscan Villa stay. We so hope to return one day. Thank you...
