IT IS PARADISE

My husband, children and I were Dennis & Gilly's 2nd guests after their purchase of Calcinaia. We enjoyed our stay with them so much that I talked my sisters & their husbands into returning with us for another visit. I must admit I was a little nervous that I had built up our experiences to them - but fortunately their stay at Borghetto Calcinaia far surpased all their expectations!!
And of course this was the case. When you're surrounded by great beauty every day, have incredible chefs cook for you at your villa, have exciting day trips within an hour of your home base, and have the best possible hosts you can ask for, how could a stay with Dennis and Gilly not surpass all expectations? It is paradise. Read More…

We all loved the place. The property is well maintained and very comfortable. The owner lives next door and is most helpful. There are lovely restaurants around the place with delightful food. Anghiari is a beautiful village town that is worthy of a few trips. Read More…

We have been so fortunate to explore the part of paradise that you have discovered yourselves and decided to share with – amongst others – us.
It is the most fantastic place in magnificent surroundings providing happiness for our children playing in the pool and leaving room for us adults to reflect on the important things in life, whilst still playing together with our children.
Thank you for your hospitality. Read More…

We stayed for a week at Dennis and Gillys farmhouse in Tuscany. It was a house and an experience that couldn't have been better and exceeded our high expectations of our vacation in Tuscany. The house has been renovated in a beautiful way to keep the charm of the old house while having all the modern facilities. We spent a lot of time by the pool that has a spectacular view of the surrounding fields and the lake in the valley. Read More…

This lovely old farmhouse is simply beautiful. Every detail is well thought out and attended to. We were three couples traveling for our first time in Italy and it was truly an amazing experience. I cannot rave enough about Borghetto Calcinia. We were greeted with a welcome basket and a tour of the grounds. The area is lovely and our hosts, Dennis and Gilly were kind, thoughtful and very knowledgeable. Read More…
