About this property

Traditional Tuscan farmhouse with stunning views

This beautiful farmhouse has been split into two different areas; the upper floor (accessible by a short stair case) is where you will be staying. The ground floor of the farmhouse (also a vacation rental) has completely separate entrance and separate and opposite outdoor space. Belvedere (lit: beautiful view) is situated on a hilltop with breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside with vineyards and olive trees in the immediate vicinity and mountain / forest views in the distance. It’s near enough for ready access to Siena (only 10 minutes drive) yet remote enough for you to enjoy your piece of Tuscan tranquility.
Traditional Tuscan architecture, characterized by terracotta floors & exposed wooden beams is common throughout, including the three spacious bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. A dining table that seats 8 will be the centre of some great feasts and memories or you can choose to eat around the more cosy kitchen table. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, glassware & ceramics, enabling you to cook up your own meals if you so desire.
Come and enjoy the 'Dolce far niente' - the sweetness of doing nothing by grabbing a book, cooking up a meal & playing some chess or cards. Alternatively use this as a base for countless day trips to explore Tuscany & beyond.
There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A private bathroom with a shower features a bidet and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Pamper yourself with onsite massages or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Awesome stay in Tuscany
If you are going to Siena and Tuscany, this property is an amazing place to stay. Beautiful house surrounded by beautiful views of the countryside. It has everything you need for your stay. The owners were very responsive and helpful. And don’t forget to have Kati prepare a meal for you as an option they provide. It was wonderful. We had an amazing time and are taking away even more amazing memories of this property and our time in Tuscany.

Tuscany farmhouse
6 of us stayed at the farmhouse. We used it as a base to enjoy the many cities in Tuscany. We even had Kati cook us a wonderful 4 course meal on our last night. We also used a guide suggested by Carola. Pia was great. She gave us a 4 hr tour of Siena and an all day wine tour of 3 wineries. If we ever come back to Tuscany, we will rent teh farmhouse again. Thanks Carola and Adam for your hospitality. Sorry about setting off the alarm. Note to self, read all of the directions. LOL. Thanks, Steve, Cathy, Mark, Alana, Steve, and Val.

This farmhouse was beautifully decorated and very well-appointed with all the amenities we needed for our stay in Siena. The views were spectacular and the property lovely for sitting outside sipping wine and enjoying our time with family. It was quiet and very clean. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay here. I would definitely love to stay here again.

A Little Bit of Heaven in Tuscany
This charming villa near Siena was the perfect setting for our long-awaited return to Tuscany. Every morning we awoke to beautiful views of the countryside with small villages dotting the landscape, pheasants roaming the adjacent olive grove and the gorgeous blue sky. Although the kitchen may look small in the pictures, it was perfectly adequate for prepping meals and includes a convenient dishwasher. Owners Carola & Adam were quickly responsive to inquiries. And the bonus of tour guide, Pia, living downstairs was a welcome addition. Her tour with us of Siena was spectacular & truly "went beneath the surface"! We had personal chef, Kati, cook 3 wonderful meals during our 10 day stay - you don't want to miss this! She was so much fun & her meals were better than we had in any restaurant. We can't wait to come back again!

A dream of a week at Belvedere farmhouse
I’ll get straight to the point: all the glowing reviews of this property are deserved. 1) The home is very comfortable, charming and well-equipped. 2) The location is spectacular. We couldn’t get enough of the views out the second story windows, the changing light throughout the day highlighting the beauty of the surroundings. 3) The adjunctive optional guide, Pia, and Italian chef, Kati, added so much to the experience. Pia expressed it best: Kati is a force of nature, yet sweet, calm and so, so skilled. If Kati ran a restaurant, it would certainly earn Michelin status. And Pia couldn’t do enough for us. We employed her as our guide through San Gimignano and are quite glad we did. She provides so much extemporaneous humor during her tour as well as a deep history of the town itself. I will be recommending this place to all our family and friends and hope to return to Belvedere one day again soon.

Heaven in Tuscany
This place was the highlight of our trip to Italy. It was everything we wanted. The view from every window is like a painting. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were spacious to hang out in for some private time. We ate many of our meals on the wonderful terrace outside. Pia, a tourist guide, lives downstairs. We hired her for tours with excellent results. Kati, a chef, can be hired to cook dinner for you or teach a cooking class. That was delicious. The kitchen has the equipment you need. Each person in our group wants to return to this place. We highly recommend it.

We were looking for a traditional Tuscany residence and we found that and more at Belvedere. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. The fact that we were able to get to know Katy while she made us an amazing homemade welcome dinner and Pia while she shared her knowledge and positive energy as our Siena tour guide made Belvedere the highlight of our Italy experience. Thank you Carola and Adam for sharing your treasure with us. We appreciated your communication which made our first time in Italy magnificent.

Tuscany Immersion & Delight
We had a wonderful stay at the Belvedere Farmhouse at the end of September. It was a charming home exactly as pictured. The views around the property are absolutely spectacular. We were two couples so the 3 bedrooms, 3 bath home was more space than we needed but an extra bath comes in handy, beds were great and appreciated the laundry facilities. Luckily the weather was absolutely perfect. Nice cool nights!! No need for air conditioning. We did have the pleasure of having Miss Katy cook 3 meals for us. It was absolutely wonderful and the best Italian food we have ever had. Miss Katy is an absolute delight!! Highlight of our stay at Belvedere. Pia who also lives at the property and works as a tour guide, took us on a great tour of Siena and to an olive oil processing tour near San Gimignano. We also had a tour of the Villa and were able to see some of the winery activities on the property and purchase some of the wine. We wanted an immersion experience, we got it and enjoyed all the time we spent at Belvedere..

Peaceful and serene Tuscany setting
Our stay at Belvedere far surpassed our expectations. The property is situated in a private, tranquil location with stunning views, only minutes from Siena. The house itself is authentic, rustic, magnificence that made us feel as though we had stepped back in time. Each morning, I looked forward to opening the heavy-duty window shutters to let the sun roll into the house and then wander outside with a cup of coffee to sit on the terrace and enjoy the gentle breeze and views. It’s a magical place. The furnishings in the house are comfortable and understated, perfect for a family gathering. In keeping with the authenticity of its era, the house does not have ac, so the house did get a little warm at times after hot showers, drying hair, or cooking. We, generally, stayed quite comfortable though with open windows and the bedroom overhead fan. As noted in the house guestbook, it’s fairly easy to trip the electrical switch. Our power went out when using a hairdryer and dishwasher at the same time. It’s quick and easy to reset the power switch, but just know to use only one electrical appliance at a time. Do yourself a favor and book at least one night of Kati’s catered dinner on the outdoor terrace. The food is amazing, as is Kati. We only regret that we didn’t book her dinner every night! Also, our breakfast sweet breads prepared by Pia were such a treat! Thanks to C&A for being such incredible, helpful and responsive hosts. We hope to visit again!

Just Perfect
This is the second time we have stayed at Belvedere. We loved it the first time, and loved it even more the second. Belvedere can be used as a place to relax, and as a base for exploration. In both respects it is just perfect. What do I love most about it? Without doubt, the stunning view from the kitchen window every time I open the shutters in the morning. The property is spacious and very well-equipped. The bedrooms are comfortable, each with en-suite facilities. The main living area makes you feel very much at home. The kitchen has every piece of equipment you could reasonably wish for. Outside, there is a wonderful terrace area: ideal for breakfast and evening meals. I can recommend without reservation. We will definitely think about visiting again in a future year.

Stunning location
It was a dreamy house with amazing views. The kitchen was well stocked, and the family-sized dining table was perfect for our meals. The only drawback was that we arrived in late June and the weather was hot. The house was a bit hard to cool down, but we took a vote and would 100% stay again even without AC. The location and property were just amazing! It was also an easy, short drive to Siena. Highly recommended!

An amazing Tuscan farmhouse overlooking stunning views. Perfect for our family of five exploring the towns and sights of Tuscany. We even did two day trips to Florence and the drive is only an hour.

Perfection!!
We had the recent pleasure of a four night stay at Belvedere. The owners are exceptionally helpful and with our booking prior to our trip day, provided incredible resources regarding local sites, tour guides, international driving information, and shopping information. They are also very prompt in responding to requests and excellent in their communication. We traveled from Rome to Siena and had a great time participating in a pasta cooking class with Kati and her son Niccolo on the evening of our arrival. Without a doubt it was a highlight of our trip in Italy! The following day we enjoyed an incredible full day tour in Florence with Tatjana Gorina who was a recommended tour guide from our hosts. We also utilized Pia as our guide in Siena and her amazing energy and knowledge of Siena made for a great day. I would highly recommend all of these people as guides to enhance your trip! A short 30 to 60 minute drive takes you to beautiful areas of Tuscany, where we enjoyed Brunello wine tastings. The house is wonderfully rustic, inviting, and very spacious. The amenities provided were outstanding and we were so impressed with our stay. Of the various places we stayed during our Italy vacation, this was the location we wished we had more time to stay. I can’t recommend Belvedere highly enough— would not hesitate to book your stay with them!

Four friends planned our 2 week trip through Italy. We all agreed we wanted to stay in an original Tuscan home and The Belvedere House was perfect. The views from every window are perfecto! Kati, the chef prepared two exquisite 3-4 course meals for us along with some great wine pairings from Siena region. Belvedere is the perfect location to head out on day trips to Siena, Lucca, San Giminagno and wineries. Carola is the perfect hostess and everything was perfect when we arrived! We didn’t want to leave. Grazie Mille Carola for helping to make our Tuscan experience so wonderful.

We loved the Belvedere. It was so beautiful, comfortable and homey. The location is rural, but only 3 or 4 km from Sienna. The property and neighborhood are filled with olive grapes, grape vines, cypress trees and open fields. The house was perfect for the six of us. We could make breakfast in the morning and sit together outside, in the dining area and the living room. The hosts were responsive and the neighbors friendly. The personal chef, Katy, is amazing. She made wonderful Tuscan 4 course dinners for our first and last nights. I highly recommend the Belvedere, we hope to go again soon.

Beautiful location, wonderful host
This was a great stay and I will remember fondly. The villa is spectacular - great views, beautifully decorated and had everything we could need for our Tuscany stay. When we first arrived, we noticed the wifi was not working and despite being mid season (April), the house still felt a little cold. I messaged Carolla and Adam and went out to dinner. Upon my return from dinner, they immediately provided wood pallets for the heater and an alternative wifi device. We also booked the pizza party and our group had a blast. The pizzas were cooked in the property's wood stove and they were amazing! The house was sparkling clean, and was very spacious (we were a group of 6). The property cat was the sweetest cat in the world and made our stay feel like home. Overall this was a 10/10 stay for us. Will definitely be back!
