Motina Residences

"I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful house and its host Stefano. The 3 bedroom 2 bath house was perfect for my family of 5. As soon as we walked in, my kids eyes lit up with amazement. This 500 year old house was a dream come true. The location is in the old town of Arezzo which is a perfect location for day trips around Toscana. Everywhere you want to visit is 1 hour drive or less. Stefano was the perfect host and helped us with wine tour reservations and gave my family a private cooking lesson that was so much fun..and delizioso! If you are looking for the perfect home away from home in the heart of Toscana, this is it."

"Beautiful guesthouse! Kitchen had everything we needed. Bigger bath towels would have been better. Difficult to communicate with the landlords as they had no English and I had very little italian"

"We had so much fun at this charming farmhouse villa! Our host/owner, Gianfranco, was so accommodating, and his response time was quick. He helped us find a driver for some trips that we did around Tuscany. He found us a wonderful chef that came to us twice for real Italian cooking classes. The house was spacious and fit our friends and family well. We brought our grandchildren and Gianfranco provided a crib & highchair. The property was absolutely beautiful & the history of the family is so interesting. We felt immersed in the Poppi culture, and the small shops in town welcomed us with open arms. The weather was a little colder than we expected so we needed layers in the morning and during the night. We made amazing memories and plan to return! Thank you Gianfranco and Poppi!"

"The location was excellent! We had a car and Hotel Minerva provided safe parking as well as a curbside luggage drop off/pick up area. The staff was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional, and the breakfast was 5 star! "

"Truly amazing experience and even greater hospitality and views! Will definitely be back soon!"

"Well located, very friendly staff!"

"Room was big and beautiful, and the view of all of Arrezo was more than spectacular. A must stay place. "

"The area is amazing along with the hotel but the bed and screening for doors and windows needs to be address. I am a frequent traveler that has been to more than 40 countries and this was the worst bed I have ever slept on and when I went to India I was on the floor. When booking the hotel room at a top price the most important thing is the bed. "

"Wow. If I could click 10 stars for a review I would. What a fantastic stay with super fantastic people. Our visit was at the end of March and it was beautiful. I can't imagine how beautiful this place would be later in the year. As for the hosts..... they could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They made us feel more like family then guests. I recommend 100% anytime of the year. Not to mention... there is not a more beautiful part of Tuscany."
