The best guesthouse we have ever stayed in. Giovanni and Agnes are amazing hosts. They are soooo welcoming, make delicious breakfast and give good recommendations. Above all, the house feels like one beautiful museum of art. Giovanni is a great artist and was happy to show us all his art. We will definitely come back here!

If you are looking for hospitality, this is the place to be. During our six-day stay, Agnes and Giovanni took care of us like friends, with excursion tips, delicious restaurants, great meals and with the fulfillment of every imaginable wish on our part. The children loved the pool and Freccia and we loved the warmth of the two hosts. Thank you for letting us be your guests!

The stay at the villa was a unique experience for our family. A magnificent combination of the atmosphere of an old villa, a quiet corner of nature and the hospitality of the hosts. We stayed in large apartments. The villa is filled with art and antique furniture, every day we found something new and beautiful. The hosts are hospitable and friendly, we felt like guests, not customers. Giovanni's advices helped us a lot to navigate Tuscany. We thank Giovanni and Agnes for their hospitality and wish them prosperity!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa al Ponte with Giovanni and his wife and highly recommend staying with them! It is a very unique place with great hosts who go beyond to make your stay even more pleasant and memorable. When we arrived Giovanni gave us a tour around the property and offered us a free upgrade to stay in the master apartment of the villa - absolutely impressive and we very much appreciate it! Great pool, natural garden with character and lots of terracotta sculptures that make the place even more picturesque. The breakfast they prepared for us in the morning was lovely with local products and great variety. We would definitely come back again!

It's an absolutely amazing stay. The villa is a kind of treasure and made in the classic tuscany style. Giovanni and Agnese are so nice and helpful. We had a great time. We will come back. Highly recommended 👍

This is not a dislike, but useful to know the pool is above ground and not immediately next to the house.

Special host who goes above and beyond to provide a comfortable and memorable stay. Giovanni is always present to make sure you have everything you want.

Nothing

Such a beautiful location surrounded by rolling hills and nature. It's an Incredible Château steeped in history with character and charm it's like nowhere I've ever stayed before. I stayed in a beautiful, clean and comfortable apartment room and had the best nights sleep! I had everything I needed. The most friendly and caring owners who provide amazing hospitality and truly welcome you into their spectacular home. They were so kind and really went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. I am looking forward to returning next year to Agnes and Giovanne's gem of a home

Spacious , historically stylish, fantastic responsive host, and convenient to several Tuscan cities if you are ok with 45 mins drive, which we were. Lovely breakfast. Good countryside for running or cycling.

We stayed 5 nights, but should have stayed longer.

Fantastic host! Giovanni and Agnes have become friends to us. The appartment and villa are very large and full of art created by Giovanni. They made our stay a unique experience which we will never forget. We highly recommend to book a longer stay. Fantastic!

Villa al Ponte is a place with lots of character. Located in charming little village called Malva, it's perfect combination for those who enjoy peace and quiet and also be nearby with different treats this region has to offer, like many vineyards and must-visit cities like Siena or Firenze. We realized right away, that we've arrived to the home of an artist, renovated and decorated by someone with character and passion. Villa is filled with wonderful pieces of art, as we soon found out, the work of the owner of villa, sculptor Giovanni Ginestroni. Giovanni and Agnes are wonderful hosts, kindly introducing the history of villa, art collection and interesting places to visit in Tuscany. Our room was nice and spacious, as charming as the villa itself. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and we had good night sleep. There was a bath, swimming pool, parking on premises and WIFI worked fine. We found lots of great restaurants offering authentic Italian tastes in nearby villages and there's also a great pizzeria in Malva open on weekends. We were also able to use villa's kitchen and have ourselves a very nice dinner at the tower terrace of villa. It cannot get much better than that. Cannot wait to get back, these couple of days were far too little for exploring this area and unwind by enjoying the charisma and tranquility villa has to offer.

Entering this vila, is like stepping into another world. The vila is decorated with the beautiful art of Giovanni - the owner of the stay - himself. We greatly appreciated his enthusiasm with which he welcomed us into his vila, including a small tour and wine(s). Rooms are clean, extremely spacious. Breakfast is exactly what you need. The view from the tower is very lovely. But the best part : (Wife) and Giovanni themselves. Extremely warm and sweet hosts, happy to give you some recommendations and always happy to have a small talk after a day full of activities (or Limoncello). Thanks again for the amazing hospitality, we really felt more than welcome here. p.s. : looking for a great restaurant nearby? L'osteria de l'Acquolina is the place to be. ask for a table between the olive trees. We had the most romantic diner ever...

Really lovely host, spacious and great place to stay

Tutto fantastico! Giovanni and Agnese take wonderful care about you and try to help as much as possible e.g. insider information for hiking or ristorante. Who likes a lot of space, quietness and harmony in the wonderful area of chianti with very special tuscan flavoure has to come here. Arezzo, Siena and Firence easily to reach from here.

Hosts are amazing! They are passionate about the place. The building is suprising and crazy beautiful itself. A Castle in Tuscany filled with sculptures made by the host. Surrounded by forest. A little bit wild but very nice place.
