Well, I've been coming here for ten years, and every time I do it just keeps on getting better and better. Simonetta is like family and coming here is just like coming home. As long as she runs these two gorgeous villas (the small one suitable for a couple and the larger one which sleeps four), my husband and I... More

Simonetta is a wonderful and caring host and makes everyone feel welcome and wishing they could stay forever. I have stayed here before and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience both times. It's very quiet and relaxing and everything is on your doorstep, Siena, Florence and San Gimignano. It really is a holiday and not just a vacation. I will be... More

When people ask us about our time in Tuscany we just sigh and shake our heads. Simonetta, proprietor of the WONDERFUL place, made our trip what others dream their trip will be. A quick story sums it up. Before arriving we decided to stop and pick up some groceries (btw, NOT an easy thing to do in the middle of... More

Simonetta and her home were everything we dreamed of for our stay in Chianti! Our room was like no place we had ever stayed. We kept pinching ourselves to make sure it was a dream come true! Located in the village of Adine the house is convenient to the wineries we visited. Simonetta was available to make recommendations for our... More

Simonetta's lodge was the perfect place to stay after spending a week driving through Belgium and Germany. After a week on the road as sightseers, cramming in every tourist attraction along the way, eating good food and stopping for pictures and walks and breath-taking scenery, we were just a wee bit tired by the time we drove into Adine. Simonetta... More

We spent a beautiful week touring Tuscany with Simonetta's lodge as our base. Glorious evenings in the garden sharing our day's adventures with Simonetta and getting her local insights as we planned for our next day. Our apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed to enjoy our Tuscan experience. Simonetta is a warm and gracious host. She made us... More

I first discovered Simonetta's Lodge in 2002 and I've been back several times. In fact the last time my husband and I were there (2009) Simonetta herself said to me that perhaps I should start exploring other parts of Italy and not just always base myself in Tuscany. But I can't bring myself to do it! I love the place... More

Adine has rustic Italian textures and an ancient soul that lives in it's walls. The quiet stone village in the countryside is what one dreams of visiting and has a small community of friendly people . Simonetta speaks terrific english and is a wonderful hostess. You feel at home the moment you arrive. We stayed 10 days and I recommend... More

It is hard to find words to describe the experience I had in Adine. It is beyond all expectations I could have ever had. From the moment I met Simonetta I felt as if I had known her for years. She exudes uncomparable hospitality. The lodge is located in the perfect location for travel to larger cities or the quaint... More
