A fantastic villa in amazing setting. We could not believe our luck. The villa’s owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. You might even be lucky enough to see around their own villa.

July at La Limonaia
Our family of grown-ups spent a lovely time at La Limonaia. The house is gorgeous and the park around it lush. Margret's communication by mail was prompt, friendly and caring, and Arthur was a truly friendly, discreet, helpful and generous host. La Limonaia was a wonderful place to seek shade in the hot afternoons, while the garden provided freshness in the evening hours. The house is perfectly situated for cultural visits (apart from the obvious Florence, Siena and Perugia we were able to enjoy a marvelous Luca Signorelli anniversary expo in Cortona). The house is also very well situated for walks in the Tuscan countryside and mountains. We recommend this luxurious summer home for people looking for calm and beauty.

A Private Tuscan Garden Paradise
Our stay for the month of June at the lovely "La Limonaia" was truly memorable. A wonderful renovation of a 19th century limonaia located on a large private estate, this comfortable home felt like our home the moment we walked in. Filled with antiques and lots of comfortable seating, the 2-story living room was a delight. Both bedrooms had wrought iron beds and were extremely comfortable. The gardens are spectacular, with roses, lilies, lavender, hydrangea and more. My husband enjoyed spending time in the garden, doing a bit of pruning! The house is very private, with a private cypress-lined driveway and gated garden. Private, but also very centrally located to exploring Tuscany, with a nearby train station in Castiglion Fiorentino for trips to Florence and Rome.
We enjoyed the many outdoor seating areas to view the olive groves, cherry trees and hills beyond. Arthur and Margreth are great hosts, very responsive but not intrusive.
The weather was unusually hot while we were there, but the house has screens and shutters which kept the interior cool during the day. Highly recommend this property, the pictures online don't do it justice! We can't wait to return.

Einfach wunderschön
Wir haben im August eine Woche im Ferienhaus "La Limonaia" verbracht. Das Haus ist einfach wunderbar eingerichtet und perfekt ausgestattet mit allem, was man sich wünscht und benötigt. Wir wurden sehr nett von Arthur empfangen, der uns einiges über die Geschichte des Hauses und der angrenzenden Villa erzählt hat. Auch fanden wir nach der langen Fahrt in glühender Hitze kalte Getränke im Kühlschrank vor. In dieser Woche herrschte noch die große Hitzewelle in Italien mit über 40 Grad im Schatten. Es gab in jedem Raum einen Ventilator, somit war es im Haus gut auszuhalten. Sehr gut war auch, dass sich vor allen Fenstern Fliegengitter befanden. Der Garten ist wunderschön und schattig, wir haben uns oft hier aufgehalten. Auch für schöne Ausflüge in die Umgebung ist die Lage des Hauses prima.
Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern Margreth und Arthur sowie der Nachbarin Daniela war einwandfrei und problemlos. Es war für uns also alles rundum perfekt.

Tolles Haus und Umgebung
Es war ein besonderes Erlebnis, in diesem großen, herrschaftlichen Anwesen zu übernachten. Die Ausstattung des Hauses war perfekt, neben sämtlichen Küchenutensilien gab es auch Öl, Gewürze und Kaffee. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und angenehm. Auch die Lage ist prima und der große Garten himmlisch. Noch besser als auf den Fotos. Lediglich die Stechmücken haben uns im August sehr geärgert (war aber auch in anderen Teilen der Toskana ähnlich). Unbedingt Anti Brumm oder ähnliches mitnehmen, dann lässt es sich aushalten. Auch ohne Klimaanlage im August gut auszuhalten, wenn man nachts lüftet.

Magical Month
Four retired ladies from Canada spent a Magical Month in Tuscany, in part due to our accommodations at La Limonaia. We arrived on hot summer-like day, to a villa at that was just as advertised in the VRBO listing. Located within a large, old walled estate, it was safe and very private. The owners, who live part time in separate and larger house on the property were there to welcome us. As we do not speak Italian, we were glad they spoke English. They were very hospitable and over the course of our stay, gave us suggestions on where to shop, places to go and the best local places to dine. They even made a dinner reservation for us for the first night. The guesthouse was more than adequate for the four of us; we especially appreciated that the windows had screens, so we were able to let fresh air in & keep the mosquitos out. It proved to be a perfect home base for exploring the region, but a car is a must as it is not within easy walking distance of any town. If going to that part of Tuscany, we would recommend this home-away-from-home.

Beautiful villa with a fascinating history and an inspiring garden
This quiet well appointed villa was the centerpiece for our two week stay in the Tuscany. Margreth and Arthur welcomed us as friends and by the end of our stay made us feel as family. The villa is thoughtfully decorated and features all the modern conveniences, including a flat screen tv with English channels! Arthur traces continuous ownership of the property, which includes their much, much larger villa next door and the remaining 10 hectares of a formerly much larger landholding to his ancestors beginning the 15th century. His passion for that history and for continuing restoration is infectious. The only real complaint is that the second bathroom is both inconveniently located (on the second floor) and almost impossible to use for folks over 6 ft tall. Otherwise, could not have asked for better accommodation or a more enjoyable experience.

A very happy holiday!
A beautiful and immaculate property with a lovely garden and access to extensive grounds - a delight for adults and children alike. Our holiday here was very special. A first visit to Italy for our children, the location was perfect for exploring the wonderful towns and cities of Tuscany. The nearby train station allowed longer-distance trips to Rome and Florence, whilst Assisi and Siena were only an hour's drive. The local town of Castiglion Fiorentino is a place we enjoyed returning to on several occasions with its cobbled streets, cafes and outstanding views across the Tuscan countryside. An added bonus was the nearby restuarant (Attico Pieve), only a short walk down country lanes and offering open air dining with sunset views of nearby towns and castles. Margreth and Arthur were most helpful prior to our visit and looked after us very kindly whilst we were there. Altogether a special and memorable holiday, and a place we will be very happy to recommend to family and friends. Thank you!

First timers and will be back
My wife and two of our children stayed a week in Tuscany, all for the first time. La Limonaia, chosen at random one evening while scanning through the HomeAway site, turned out to be a very rare find. Quaint; out of the way; quiet aside from the occasional church bells; perfectly located in terms of day trips; easy accessibility to the train; and finally, an owner that trained in from Germany prior to out arrival just to make sure all was in order and to welcome us to her little piece of paradise. Margreth is obviously very proud of her villa and has very good reason to be. The only unfortunate aspect of our stay was that is went by very quickly. One week in Tuscany is simply too short. We had some of our best meals ever dining at a number of Michelin star restaurants all within an hour of La Limonaia. The four of us would not hesitate to recommend this home to friends and relatives alike. Thank you Margreth for making this a very memorable family get away.

Beyond Description
It has taken time to write this review because we (four well-traveled adults from the U.S. and Brazil) wanted to do justice to the beauty of La Limonaia. It is one of the most special places we have stayed in in Europe.
Located on a very large tract of land, adjacent to an old villa in Vitiano, La Limonaia, as the name suggests, was used to store lemon trees during the cold months before the building was completely renovated. Now the well-built large house has the look and feel of a villa and is even nicer than the photos on the site. The house is furnished with fine artifacts, paintings and comfortable beds (real ones), sofas and chairs. The kitchen, which looks out onto the spacious dining and living room area, has all of the utensils and spices that you need to prepare simple or gourmet meals (should you also be or have an inspired chef). Given the quality furnishings, the overall décor, and the inviting patio and gardens, La Limonaia would be a dream to live in twelve months a year. Thankfully, we got to spend a week there at the end of June. We spent our evenings on the patio admiring the surroundings and experimenting different wines from the region. During the day, we explored Tuscany.
La Limonaia is located on a quiet, two-lane road off a main thoroughfare. It is a convenient base for visits to Castilglion Fiorentino, Cortona, Monte San Savino, Montepulciano and Arezzo. Florence, Siena and Assisi are also easily accessible on well-marked byways. Within a 10- to 15-minute radius by car, which you really do need, there are at least two supermarkets (we preferred the Coop), a small produce market, a great “panetteria” that makes bread without salt, a pharmacy as well as a nice coffee shop at the nearby train station. Margreth, the gracious owner of La Limonaia, compiled an extensive list of towns to visit and places to shop and dine. This list is available for guests along with useful guidebooks and a history-in-progress of the villa being written by her husband. A must restaurant for pasta, meat and fish is the “Antica Pieve,” which is very near (but not walkable from) La Limonaia. Margret was able to get us a last-minute reservation there on a Saturday night, which was lucky for us, because we had arrived late and hungry in the early evening on that same day, and the restaurant was fully booked by locals.
We found Margreth to be very generous with her time. She was waiting for us when we got there, as were a welcome bottle of

Spectacular villa in Tuscany!
This lovely property surrounded by beautiful gardens qualifies as a "pinch me I must be dreaming" experience. The location is the perfect home base for exploring many of the lovely Tuscan towns nearby. Cortona, Arezzo, Montelpulciano, Siena, Perugia are all a comfortable drive away.
La Limonaia is a beautiful home which is fully equipped with everything you could ever need or wish for-all the comforts of home are at your fingertips in this tastefully decorated and well maintained property. Margreth the owner is delightful and was most helpful as are the neighbours Daniela and Oswaldo. We spent two idyllic weeks in this amazing place and we plan to return to what we now feel is our Tuscany home.

Wondeful Tuscan base!
My family stayed for one week and truly enjoyed our time here. We were here during the hottest period of the summer but quickly adopted the Italian style of going out in the morning and coming home after a fabulous Italian lunch. We reemerged in the evening to rejoin families in the evening stroll. This house is ideally situated for exploring Tuscany. Every day we ventured to a different location: Florence, Pisa, Arezzo, Cortona, Perugia, Montepulcino, etc. One week is just not enough time..... The house is very comfortable for our family of four. We cooked in several evenings (after foraging in the markets and fabulous grocery stores!). The owners were in Germany but very helpful and their neighbors were delightful. We'd love to come back again.

Onvergetelijke vakantie. Zauberhafter Urlaub.
Onze vakantie in La Limonaia was vanaf het eerste moment dat wij de schitterende oprijlaan opreden tot het vertrek een schitterende ervaring geweest. De villa en de tuin zijn uitstetekend verzorgd en schoon, waarbij veel aandacht besteed is het authentieke van het 19e eeuw te bewaren. De keuken en badkamer zijn modern en voorzien van alle benodigdheden. Het was een genot om in de keuken te koken en het eten in de heerlijke tuin te nuttigen. Al met al is La Limonaia een plek om je helemaal thuis te voelen!
Bij aankomst werden wij hartelijk ontvangen door de eigenaar, Margreth, met een heerlijke fles Montepulciano en zelf gemaakte Olijfolie. Ondanks haar drukke agenda heeft zij ons tijd geschonken, om ons de omgeving te laten zien, zoals Castilignon Florientino, koffiebar en restaurants.
La Limonaia ligt gunstig gelegen op redelijke afstand naar allerlei mooie steden, zoals Cartona, Perugia, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Sienna, Florence etc., etc.
Wij zullen in de toekomst zeker naar deze plek terugkeren!
Unser Urlaub in La Limonaia war vom Beginn bis zum Ende eine tolle Erfahrung. Die Villa und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt und sauber, mit viel Liebe um das Authentische aus dem 19. Jahrhundert zu erhalten. Die Küche und das Badezimmer sind modern eingerichtet und mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Es war eine Freude in der Küche zu kochen und danach das Essen in dem traumhaft schönen Garten zu genießen. In La Limonaia fühlt jeder sich sicher zu Hause.
Bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich von der Besitzerin, Margreth, mit einer schönen Flasche Montepulciano und hausgemachtes Olivenöl empfangen. Trotz ihres vollen Terminkalenders hatte sie Zeit für uns, um uns Castilignon Florientino, Café und Restaurants zu zeigen.
La Limonaia liegt günstig in zumutbarer Entfernung zu schönen Städten wie Cartona, Perugia, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Siena, Florenz, etc. etc.
Wir werden auf jeden Fall La Limonaia in der Zukunft wieder besuchen!

A Wonderful Place to Stay in Tuscany
After sifting through literally thousands of possible places to stay, we came upon La Limonaia. Everything fit: the location, the size, the 21st century bath and kitchen in a 19th century lovingly restored property, and the villa garden. We were right about all of it.
What we didn't anticipate was how amazing our hosts would be. Happily, Margreth was on hand to meet us and someone we would befriend at home were we lucky enough to meet her. She took a whole day to show us the basics: coffee shop, grocery (which she went through with us), the bank, and Castiglion Fiorentino. And then we were introduced to Daniela and Oswaldo who would look after us in this new adventure. Little did we understand that looking after us meant being unbelievably kind, and helpful and engaging. Whenever we needed anything that we couldn't figure out on our own, they came to the rescue with good cheer. We miss them still.
We also hadn't quite grasped how perfect our location was. Everything we wanted to see and do -- and those we didn't know were on our list but which astounded us -- were within an hour at the most; 20 minutes more often. If we neglected to turn at Cortona, we'd just say what the heck and end up in Perugia. No big deal. Amazing.
We spent four weeks at La Limonaia. When life permits, we will be back. And we hope it permits often. Our life was lived every moment of every day while there. And in my happiest memories I am in the garden under a white umbrella drinking wine with my friends and eating the most spectacular food I have ever known.

Lovely La Limonaia
It was a pleasure to stay at La Limonaia. The drive in was impressive and the house was stunning. Margreth was there to greet us and spent time with us describing the layout and facilities and provided a bottle of wine and some home made olive oil. The grounds are beautiful and we had our breakfasts and dinners outside. The property was very clean and had some magnificent art and antiques. A car is necessary and La Limonaia is a good base to visit place in Tuscany. We travelled by train to Florence, visited Siena, Arezzo, Montelcino(Brunello wine), Cortona, Pienza, Monte S. Savino, Lucignano, Citta di Castello, Greve in Chianti and the wonderful scenery south of San Quirico. A highlight was having lunch at the Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano in Chianti. A two hour feast of meat and Tuscan fare. Highly recommended. We spent a wonderful week at La Limonaia and have raved about our stay to all our friends.

A perfect base for our Tuscany vacation
We loved our two month stay at La Limonaia.
While there were just the two of us for most of July and August, the house had space for us to enjoy our guests who visited for a week here or there during the summer.
The owner, Margreth was wonderful! She welcomed us as weary travelers (from the U.S.) with a beautiful cold dinner platter and wine when we dragged in our first evening. The following day she generously oriented us to the area, including taking us to the grocery store, butcher, baker, fruit and vegetable stand, etc. She was easy to reach via phone or email and quick to respond when we had questions or a problem.
The local caretakers, Daniella and Osvaldo were tasked with checking in with us to be sure all was well, and they did so weekly, often bearing a gift of fresh eggs from their chickens, or tomatoes, eggplants etc from their garden.
The location in Vitiano is ideal for exploring Tuscany and Umbria via day trips.
The house was charming and private, and the gardens beautiful, providing fresh flowers for our vases.
A nice bonus for us was the sweet black and white cat, who, if encouraged (and fed) will become a regular part of your vacation.
We couldn't imagine a better base for our 2 months of exploration, and highly recommend La Limonaia.

Everything we Were Hoping For and Much More!
We have always fantasized about an extended stay in Tuscany. Although we have been to Italy a number a times, we have never been to Tuscany so our wish list was long and our expectations were high. This trip met and exceeded everything on our list. This was the first house we saw when starting to explore online and I said why should we look any further? This place was beautiful and had everything we had envisioned for our stay. We began our day with prliminary coffee in the outdoor sunshine and ended it usually by preparing a simple antipasto platter, and enjoying a wonderful glass of wine by the fire.
The house was beautiful, unique, typically Tuscan, very clean, cozy and extremely efficient, Everything had been thought out and we were lacking for nothing. And the grounds were magnificicent. We enjoyed watching many of the spring floweres come to bloom. The charming owner met us as we arrived, greeting us with homemade olive oil, marmelade and a wonderful bottle of vino. She spent time going over everything with us and introducing us to the neighbors Daniela and Oswaldo, who gave us asparagus that they foraged in the woods and told us how to use to for risotto.
We found the location to be perfect. We loved early morning walks in the neighborhood, noting the cypress, olive, wild fig trees, wild poppies growning by the side of the road, little streams, ducks rushing over to squack at us, perfect gardens maintained by neighbors, the well maintained houses and streets and we were especially delighted by the the antiquity of some houses, one had a date of 1700 indicated, and the Alborgotto villa, I understand is 600 years old. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially the owners of the local Bar where we walked to each morning for capoccino and our neighbors whose company we enjoyed with the help of Google Translator.
We much preferred this central location with the very easy to use and efficient train station, and easy drives to all other Tuscan areas to the more popular and crowded areas further north. We had everything we needed, and had plenty to explore within 15 minutes of the home including Castiglione Fiorentino, Cortona, Arezzo and even a private castle tour!
We would love to go again and stay at LaLimonaia.

Tranquility
First impressions are important. My wife and I and our two young sons arrived late in the afternoon and immediately found this house and surrounding gardens to be quite special. Detailed instructions provided by the lovely owners made it very easy to locate the house and we were met by Daniela who lives close by. She was helpful and friendly. On the table were bottles of wine, olive oil and a jar of marmelade with a welcoming note. The spacious home is very tastefully decorated with all the necessary amenities one would need. It was spotlessly clean and certainly retains plenty of charm. The formal gardens and serene hilly and rural setting encapsulated the experience. My sons really enjoyed playing in the enlosed lawns and garden area. Plenty of flowers to admire whilst sitting in various spots outside the home. As other reviewers have mentioned, this was situated in an area that made it a very useful base from which to explore the nearby towns and cities. The proximity of the train station and free parking at the station made it very easy to reach Florence and avoid the hassles of dealing with car traffic. We availed ourselves of some of the good eating establishments recommended by the owners who made every effort to ensure that our stay would be problem free and very enjoyable. Thank you Margreth and Arthur for letting us stay at this true gem in Tuscany !

La Limonaia met all our Tuscan expectations.
A group of 5 of us (Australians 30-60 years) stayed at la Limonaia over the 2 weeks of the Christmas-New Year period, 2013/4. There was great joy when, despite arriving late, we found waiting for us a little, tubbed lemon tree decorated with Christmas lights and bottles of local wines and cheeses (fantastic).
We had a romanticised vision of a villa in Tuscany and la Limonaia met all expectations. The price was most reasonable for what we got, so that moderated our bemusement at the fact that the gas meter was read in and out and we had to pay extra for our gas heating (the alternative was that we would have been a tad chilly).
The open fire made our nights, and again wood was a extra, but there was plenty of it, supplied and stacked and topped-up as necessary.
La Limonaia was clean and tidy, well furnished, and everything worked easily - it had a welcoming charm. The gardens were ours alone as the main house was vacant at the time.
We used la Limonaia as hub for day trips to Cortona (close), Arezzo (close), Sienna, Florence (couple of hours), Pisa and we had New Year's Eve in Rome (fantastic). Overall, driving was no problem (but with GPS), even in central Rome.
Although winter had its charm, and Christmas-New Year in Italy is special, we must see Tuscany in all its summertime colours. We would stay at la Limonaia again.
