Family reunion in Tuscany
We had a great stay. The pool and gardens were lovely and it was very peaceful. Even in the very hot July weather it stayed cool and breezy as it is high up. Lots of nice villages and towns to visit 10-20mins drive away.

Family stay in summer
We were two families with 6 children ranging in age from 5 - 16. We used both apartments, and there was plenty of space for all. The position was good, although like most places in Tuscany it does require you to drive everywhere. The Villa grounds were the highlight for us. The pool and gardens were beautiful, and there were so many outside areas to relax. Plenty of room to spread out if needed! The apartments are charming inside. The kitchens are fairly basic, but fine. The cutlery and glassware is a little lacking, and updating this would improve the experience. We had a chef come and cook a dinner for us one night, which was absolutely fantastic. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay here and wish we were back there now! Some printed materials on the surrounding area would have been appreciated -with details of supermarkets, restaurants, wineries, banks and any other local tips. Thank you to our English speaking host Cheti who managed all the communications.

Italian Besties
Our group of 5 women celebrating a number of life milestones had a wonderful week. Check in was easy and the villa was amazing. Our only issue through the entire week was that the battery in the gate fob died and we were momentarily trapped inside with a pending golf tee time! The owner quickly realized our issue and gave us his fob and we were on our way within a few moments. Everything was wonderful and as expected!

Wonderful family stay in sunny Tuscany
We have enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house is situated on a high hill, therefore quite cool at night. The owners and caretakers are wonderful. The interior and exterior is done in a traditional and elegant style. All rooms were very clean. The are mosquito screens on all windows. Also shutters. Airconditioning available but even in mid August hardly necessary. Pool is large, clean and very nice. several wonderful and cosy seating area's . We enjoyed the nearby towns of San Gimignano, Volterra and of course the Paleo in Sienna. We would love to come again. What we missed? Hardly anything. The kitchens could use a true oven. But with all the wonderful nearby restaurants, that is hardly and issue.

A stunning property. You really come to appreciate the Tuscan country side and it’s beauty. I come to this region every year and this by far was the best property I stayed. Attention to detail, cleanliness and peace of mind. The owners are wonderful people.
