Vigna San Giuseppe

Hervorragend 5 ^/5   Hausbewertung im Detail

Our second trip to Vigna San Giuseppe and it did not disappoint. Perfect for our family get-togethers. An outstanding property in a beautiful location. Giuditta is a delightful, helpful host.
This year we opted for the Tuscan meal prepared and served by Giuditta and a local chef (to my shame I've forgotten her name). It was wonderful and more than ample for all eleven of us.
We will be returning.

This was a wonderful holiday, and it is hard to put into words how perfect this property is. We visited as a group of 3 families, 12 of us in total, and Vigna San Giuseppe could not have been better. The location is stunning, with fabulous views, far enough out of the town for perfect peace and quiet (our children aside!), yet an easy 20-ish minute stroll into Subbiano if we wanted to eat out locally in the evening. 20 minutes by train to Arezzo, and so many beautiful places to visit within easy driving distance - Cortona, Siena, Poppi, Lake Trasimeno and more - or the train to Florence.

The pool is wonderful, and the house has all the facilities you could need, plus mountain bikes, table tennis, table football, volleyball - and fresh eggs daily from the chickens!

A word also for our wonderful hosts - Giuditta and her sister Genevra were so welcoming and catered for our every need. They were completely committed to making sure we enjoyed our stay, and we could not have asked for more. If you do stay here, make sure you take up their offer of cooking you a traditional Tuscan meal - absolutely delicious VIP treatment!

We will be back!

We stayed in the villa back in September, we were 13 in all, kind of a family reunion. No one was disappointed. The house and property are magnificent and exactly as portrayed on the
website. Our host Giuditta, was knowledgeable, friendly and willing to do whatever it took to ensure we had an enjoyable stay, welcoming us with a bottle of homemade wine.
The house has all its original charm but has been updated where necessary, specifically the bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen in particular leaves you wanting for nothing. It has a modern fridge and range and all the pots, pans and utensils any gourmet could ask for along with enough dinnerware and glassware to feed an army.
The grounds clean and well-kept and although it was to cool to use the pool it was crystal clear. We made pizza in the outdoor oven, which was stocked with wood and had all the necessary utensils, as well as Steak Florentine on the outdoor grill.
The location is very private yet a short drive, or even a walk, to town and the train station. From here we made day trips to Florence, Sienna, Arezzo and several wineries.
A final bit of advice would be to opt for the authentic Tuscan meal they offer. Very reasonable and includes paired local wine for course.
Highly recommended!

Tutto bene,solo la piscina lascia un po a desiderare come pulizia. L'ideale sarebbe pulirla ogni giorno.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] All was fine, only the pool could be cleaner. Ideal would be to clean it every day.

The Vigna San Giuseppe is not only gorgeous, high-quality and tastefully decorated, it is authentic! It was actually the working farm and vineyard of the hostess, Giuditta's grandparents. The bottom floor originally was a stable and the gorgeous guest house was an animal manger! Now it looks like a spa, but it's nice to know its roots are real.

The house has great views from every patio and the valley next to the house is full of bird noise and lovely farm noises. We even saw a family of wild boars every evening grazing in the field next to the house. There is a hiking trail that starts right at the house through forests and the little town at the top of the hill.

Giuditta, the hostess who spent her childhood there, is adorable and sincere and ready to come over at a moment's notice to help with anything. She knows all kinds of people in the area and one night she and two chefs created the most memorable multi-course meal with specialties from the region, including locally produced wine and wild boar hunted by someone she knows! It was delicious and so special, something we will all remember for a long time.

The house has about 8 bikes of all types and sizes and we loved biking down the dirt road into town and tooling around on the cobble stones in the ancient part of subbiano, picking up groceries etc. Walking it's only about 15-20 minutes into town and by the time you get back up to the villa, you'll be ready to jump into the clean and beautifully refreshing pool!

It's convenient to have a car, but we also got around just fine using buses and trains.

Lots to do in the area, great villages, castles and of course Sienna and Florence all within visiting distance.
You will love this place!
