We traveled with our three kids and my father and brother, and everyone was happy. The first night we arrived, we took a cooking class, and it was a great way to get to know our hosts, Nicolo and Barbara, and the area (not to mention, the dinner was delicious). They gave us tips about local foods and places to go. When our plans changed for one day of our trip, Nicolo recommended vineyard tours nearby, and they were wonderful. The apartment itself was clean, air conditioned, and had more than enough space for our group. The pool was a big plus also. After a day spent sightseeing in the heat, the kids were thrilled to return to the villa and jump in. The property was located near the village of Pontassieve which we visited a few times to pick up groceries, go for dinner and gelato, and get the train to Firenze. We had a terrific trip and have only positive things to say about Villa Cafaggiolo!
