Il Colombaio is a very special place
It really feels like you are staying at a friend’s house rather than a rented villa.
Perfectly located for visiting the major Tuscan towns but situated in a real village with few other tourists, easily reached by a stroll through the olive groves.
The house is beautiful; Michael has furnished it with an incredible collection of items from around the world which all complement each other and the house. The kitchen is extremely well equipped; with our love of cooking, this was one of our favourite rooms. We loved the garden and enjoyed having different areas to sit in and enjoy the peace and the amazing views throughout the day. It was hot during our stay but the shutters kept the heat out and it was a joy to come back to the cool villa and pool after outings.
We are planning our return visit! Thank you Michael for a great holiday and for being a wonderful and welcoming host.

Perfect location in a beautiful setting
We had an amazing time at Michael’s house in Montisi. The house itself is a well preserved traditional farmhouse with a very well stocked kitchen, which we really appreciated. The town of Montisi has a shop a bar and a few restaurant is a short 10 minute walk away (on private or small roads), which was easy with the 3 toddlers we brought.
Michael was a thoughtful and attentive host, and provided us with contacts for a babysitter and a chef for a few nights our stay (would recommend!). He knows a lot about the local area and was happy to assist with recommendations.
The area is unbelievably beautiful, and the house is situated on a ridge with amazing views of the sunsets over the Tuscan hills. We were close to a few wine making areas, other picturesque towns, and fantastic restaurants (especially Il Conte Matto).
Overall the stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend!

A Spectacular Home, Host and Holiday
Though there were only two of us, the stunning photos, Tuscan location and consistently enamored reviews of this property convinced us to plan a 2 week stay at this large, beautiful home right outside Montisi. We were able to enjoy two perfect weeks in Tuscany because of the great proximity to the tourist highlights but more importantly because of the atmosphere afforded by this amazing villa and it's gardens and countryside location near the small, authentic and untouristed hill town of Montisi. Michael was such a warm and welcoming host who we felt would be a dear friend if only we lived in close proximity to each other. He was always quick to answer any of our inquiries and genuinely loved this home and its neighboring lands where he had enjoyed many years with his family. Communication was simple because English is Michael's first language though he is fluent in Italian and several other languages. It was a very special treat for us to have full access to a wonderful garden full of amazing produce. We can't wait to return!

Great base to explore beautiful Tuscan hilltop villages. Montisi itself is a very interesting village with a festival in August and many activities.
The house also has 3 separate outdoor dining areas and breathtaking views of Tuscan landscapes.

Tuscan country life
Our stay in Colombiao was a Tuscan delight. This old farmhouse from the 17th century has been lovingly cared for by the current owners. Still true to its Tuscan roots, the house retains its farmhouse charm while maintaining a level of rustic comfort. Kitchen is on one level, dining and living on another, bedrooms on another. No AC, so if staying during hot months, pack light. We were there in early June 2022, temps were unusually hot, in the upper 90s. Mornings and evenings were comfortable, nights were warm, but bedroom fans kept the air moving. Closing shutters and leaving the house to travel around Tuscany during the day made it manageable, and we made good use of the three outdoor terraces. Cooking was kept to a minimum, but the kitchen is very well stocked with sharp knives, plentiful cookware and utensils, and we enjoyed fresh veggies from the garden. The host, Momo, is exceptional. He was extremely helpful in directing our party to restaurants and small wineries to visit in the area. In addition to Montisi, we took day trips to Siena, Montepulciano, Montefollonico, Montalcino, Gaiole in Chianti, and Trequanda. . . . Momo sent us to a great butcher in Trequanda, Marcelleria Ricci, and we enjoyed very good dinners at the local Montisi Ristorante Ritorno di Fiamma. Montisi was a great find, and Colombiao was a Tuscan treat. Would love to visit again in the Fall!!

A Wonderful Home
We just returned from a fantastic stay here. The house is beautiful inside and out.
Inside: The kitchen was clean and inviting to cook meals in. The furnishings and decor were unique and beautiful- full of character. There was plenty of space for us (two couples) to spread out. It would also be comfortable for three couples.
Outside : heavenly!! The views are spectacular. The flowers were everywhere and amazing. Sitting outside in the morning and evening, listening to the birds sing, looking at the view, smelling the flowers…. our favorite thing we did. We always looked forward to returning at the end of the day to make dinner in the kitchen or on the grill and eat at the outdoor table. (There are actually 3 different outdoor eating areas!)
Location: a great spot because it’s in the countryside, yet with the option of walking into town. The walk was on a gravel road surrounded by beautiful olive trees. The town is cute and authentic with a few places to eat. We enjoyed our meal at Ritorno di Fiamma.
It’s about a 30 minute drive to places like Montalcino and Montepulciano , and about 45 minutes to Siena. Getting to and from Montisi is a beautiful drive in itself. There is a great butcher (Ricci) that we really loved in the next town (Trequanda) and a giant and wonderful Supermarket about 15 minutes away in Sinalunga.
The owner: Michael (Momo) is so nice and helpful. He has thought of everything and has the kitchen particularly well stocked. He helped us get several reservations for restaurants and wine tasting, and recommended a cooking teacher (Rafaella), who was wonderful!
This is a house we would love to return to! Thank you, Momo for a great week in Tuscany!

Return to Montisi
This is my fourth visit to Colombiao di Momo, and as always it was a wonderful stay with friends. The house and gardens were lovely as always, and Momo remains responsive to any queries and extremely helpful. Great location for trips to Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena-- and this time we even went to the coast for a day.

Absolutely perfect
My family and I recently returned from a week at Colombiao di Momo and it exceeded our expectations in every way. First off, the property is stunning: Situated among olive groves on a hillside overlooking the fields and mountains of southern Tuscany. It is extremely well cared for with plenty of room to eat, play, explore etc. Our children enjoyed hours playing outside and in the nearby fields. It's also perfectly located 30 minutes from Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza.
As for the house, well -- the pictures don't tell the whole story. It is absolutely fabulous. My 83-year-old mother -- who stayed with us for three days -- was tearing up at the loveliness of it all. It is warm, welcoming, well-stocked and decorated beautifully -- filled with Michael's family heirlooms from travels throughout Morocco, the Middle East and beyond. All told, four of us stayed the entire week, and we were joined for three nights by my brother, his daughter and my mom and everyone had private space: including their own bedrooms and bathrooms. We had plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other. In addition, the kitchen was extremely well stocked with all the cooking utensils and instruments you could want -- and Michael gave us a can of his own olive oil from the surrounding fields (along with wine, cheese, salumi and other noshes) at the start of our week -- just an excellent touch.
And that brings me to the host himself. Michael was singularly the best host I've ever had the pleasure of renting from. He clearly cares about his property and his guests' enjoyment. He is full of great recommendations -- including welcoming us to a village-wide lunch on communal tables on the village's Main Street that proved to be the highlight of our week in Tuscany. He's a gem -- and a real bridge into the quiet world of real Tuscan living. As far as we traveled, we always felt at home back in Montisi -- largely thanks to Michael's hospitality. And he was incredibly kind to us last year when we couldn't make the trip due to a medical emergency.
In all, Colombiao di Momo was absolutely perfect, and I can't wait to return again soon.

Classic Tuscan Farmhouse Retreat
After stumbling on Montisi on our first trip to Tuscany over 25 years ago, my wife and I have made the lovely little town our base for 7-8 subsequent trips. By coincidence, we discovered that friends from Boston had been staying at Colombiao for years. We checked it out on a previous trip but our late May 2018 rental was our first, but not the last.
Set on several acres of beautiful olive trees, the property was literally bursting with color from all types of flowers, meticulously maintained by Momo Brubeck, whose parents renovated the abandoned farmhouse almost 50 years age.
Columbaio is very spacious and comfortable, with three large bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two separate sitting areas upstairs. The first floor living room, dining room and kitchen are huge, open and delightfully appointed, and there is a full bathroom as well. The kitchen is great for cooking, and it’s the best equipped one we has ever rented.
The extensive yard has several sitting areas, three options for outdoor dining, and a great spot to enjoy sunsets. The views from all directions show Tuscany at its finest. The very private location is only a few minutes walk thru neighboring farms to town.
Momo Brubeck is a great host. His love for the property is evident in his attention to details that made our stay easy and trouble free.
Colombiao is not going to be featured in fancy design magazines, thank goodness, but it is a fine old farmhouse that has everything necessary for a great Tuscany holiday, and a good value as well.

Colombiao de momo was the ideal place to spend a week in Tuscany. The farm house itself was beautiful both inside and out. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need, the beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of space inside and out for enjoying dinners with a group. Momo was a perfect host and set us up with a driver for the day (highly recommend) and also cooking lessons. The house is a 10 minute walk to Montisi, which is a beautiful little town. We loved our stay at Colombiao de momo!

The house is breathtakingly beautiful- beautifully designed, spacious, functional and full of spaces to relax and enjoy the gorgeous nature of Tuscany. Momo is a superb host, available and full of information. This is a perfect house for big or small groups to relax and enjoy the towns of Tuscany (or, just sit around the house and enjoy the beauty from the backyard). Montisi is a 10 min walk from the house and you can get your daily needs and have a great meal. I have no complaints whatsoever about this house and experience - it's a dream !

Amazing! Tranquil and stunningly beautiful
Three couples from the USA and Canada spent 2 weeks at beautiful Colombiao di Momo. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a little piece of heaven in Tuscany. It proved to be a fantastic vacation with memories made that will last a life-time.
The home is beautiful and comfortable, filled with lots of old-world charm with all the benefits of modern amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms. It is well-equipped and lovingly cared for. There are many wonderful touches like shelves filled with books and a kitchen fully equipped with everything you need to cook a Tuscan feast. We spent many hours outside on one of the three terraces enjoying the breathtaking views in every direction. It is extremely private, but yet just a short 10 minute walk to the lovely, quaint village of Montisi. We enjoyed walking into the village to shop at the small grocery and bakery or to pick up a cappuccino at Il Barrino. Our favorite restaurants were Il Barrino (upstairs from the bar) and Ristorante Ritorno di Fiamma...fantastic dining experiences. We loved spending quiet, peaceful days at Colombiao di Momo. However, it's also the perfect location for days you want to adventure out to other small charming hill towns with good restaurants, wineries and much to see.
And to top if off, Michael (Momo) is an exceptional host and wonderful person. We booked a year in advance and Michael was always helpful, quick to respond and happy to answer a multitude of questions. Michael gave us a warm welcome upon arrival and after two weeks we felt we had made a new friend. We had an issue with our rental van and he went above and beyond to help us find a solution. Michael is an amazing host.
This home comes with our highest recommendation.

Tuscan Beauty
Beautiful villa with views everywhere. Located reasonably closed to Montepulciano (30 mins.), Montelcino (30 mins.), and Siena (45 mins.). Kitchen was very well equipped; there were significant staples provided (maybe left by other visitors, but we found olive oil, basalmic vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, dish soap etc). Fresh herbs (rosemary, oregano, basil, dill, sage, lavender) were throughout the gardens.). Michael was a gracious and friendly host who helped arrange for a balloon ride (only 10 mins. away) and for a cooking school with Alessandra (delicious and with enough food for two dinners, so don't do it your last night). We enjoyed the villa thoroughly. Thanks Michael!

Un dépaysement à l'image de la belle Toscane
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison de Michael. C'est un dépaysement total, un petit havre de paix au milieu de magnifiques paysages toscans.
C'est une ancienne ferme, réaménagée dans la simplicité en grande maison familiale pour accueillir facilement 8-9 personnes. Nous ne manquions de rien car la cuisine est bien équipée en ustensiles et vaisselle de tout genre. Nous avons passé nos journées dans le beau jardin et ses différents espaces dédiés à la détente.
C'est un bon point pour explorer une partie de la vallée d'Orcia avec une belle cité Renaissance de Pienza, puis Montalcino et sa Fattoria dei Barbi avec le délicieux vin Brunello, le monastère Monte Oliveto Maggiore dont le grand cloître est orné de fresques de Sodoma, sans oublier le charmant village de Montisi...
Un grand Merci à Michael, pour son accueil chaleureux, sa disponibilité, ses superbes légumes du jardin, sa bienveillance et sa sympathie. Nous y reviendrions avec joie!

Charming Tuscan villa in serene setting
Three couples spent 2 weeks here. Plenty of space for everyone. Each couple had a comfortable bedroom & their own modern bathroom; there is a 4th full bath on the lower level. Dining table easily sat the 6 of us. The grounds are private, lush with greenery (roses, jasmine, etc.). There are several outdoor seating areas, 2 with especially wonderful views of the countryside. Montisi is a quaint & quiet hill town with some good restaurants (we liked Ritorno di Fiamma). It is relatively easy to drive to other hill towns but just as tempting to spend relaxing time at Il Colombaio in the gardens reading and sketching as we often did. Try your hand with the brick pizza oven! The villa has both modern comforts as well as an abundance of authentic rustic charm. (If you have mobility issues just be aware there are some steps down to the kitchen and 2 of the bathrooms are also a few steps up or down -- think modern "split-level" meets centuries old authentic Tuscan farmhouse!). Momo is a great host who had many helpful suggestions of nearby places to go. Previous reviewers have raved about Il Colombaio. Believe them.

Very relaxing spectacular sunsets. We enjoyed the herb gardens and picking fresh limes off the tree. The Villa is well maintained it offers all the amenities one would want. Had fun using the wood burning pizza oven. It is close to the town of Montisi which we enjoyed our morning walks through the Olive Groves to get fresh baked goods.

Most Beautiful House + Vacation
The house is gorgeous, spacious, relaxing and well equipped. My family (2 couples + a single) had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the interior (every spacious bedroom has its own bathroom), not to mention the exterior areas and gardens. We ate meals outside and barbecued. This is the most beautiful house I've ever been in; I felt grateful to be able to spend my vacation there.
Momo was a fantastic host, welcoming us and giving us the lay of the land. He was available to us whenever we needed him. His family house feels both historic and modern, the best of both worlds. Everything works well, is simple and beautiful- the way I would keep my own home.
The location is perfect: the house is in nature (no close neighbors), and a 10 minute walk into Montisi where you can have a great dinner, get your basic groceries or do a little shopping. Lots of great towns are a 10-20 minute drive, including Pienza and Montalcino.
My expectations before arrival were high, and this house beat them all. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I hope to return many times.

Wunderschöne Woche in der Toskana
Nachdem meine Eltern bereits vor zwei Jahren bei Michael im Haus und absolut begeistert waren, sind wir mit der Familie (zu fünft) zusammen in das Haus gefahren.
Michael hat uns vor Ort empfangen und war sowohl während des Empfangs als auch während unseres gesamten Aufenthaltes sehr hilfsbereit und einfach zu erreichen.
Das Haus ist einfach nur wunderschön, genauso wie das umliegende Grundstück. Die Einrichtung im gesamten Haus ist sehr stimmig und schön, offensichtlich sind Michael die Details sehr wichtig.
Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es ist eigentlich alles vorhanden was man braucht und mehr. Auch die Größe der Küche war super, gerade wenn wir zu fünft zusammen gekocht haben.
Bei der Hitze war vor allem der Pool von Vorteil. Der Pool ist sehr angenehm und auch die Außendusche war schön, um sich zu erfrischen. Auf dem Grundstück gibt es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, um sich zusammen an den Tisch zu setzen oder um zu entspannen.
Insgesamt hatten wir eine wirklich sehr schöne Woche und würden sofort noch einmal zu Michael in das Haus fahren.
