The property is a beautiful old farmhouse, it is more rustic than I was expecting but was overall very nice. The views and location were unbeatable. We loved being able to go into Buonconvento for the store or up to Montalcino for lunch/dinner/wine, about the same distance to both. Also tons of wineries to try right there in the area, we did a tour one day and ventured out and then did one day stopping at two nearby wineries.

I wish we had been a little more aware of what amenities were on site - for example they ask you not to use the inside towels for the pool but there are not pool towels, or there is a BBQ grill but no charcoal or a lighter on site. While the inside of the house is rustic we found the kitchen easy enough to prepare 3 meals in and enjoyed having a large table to eat together nightly. My only other comment (and what proved the most problematic) would be that all the screens on the inside windows have either large gaps at the bottom or holes in the screens, we got ravaged by mosquitoes and ended up spraying down with bug spray nightly before going to sleep. I would definitely rent the house again if just the windows were fixed, the rest is completely tolerable. We got to chat with our neighbors in the apartment below who had been renting this house for 9 years and were prepared with charcoal (which they graciously shared), towels, pool floats, and citronella candles - apparently this is not a new problem :)

Everything was perfect. The house is spacious and clean and offers all comforts. Maria and Laura were so lovely to us. They provided us fresh tomatoes, zucchini, onions nearly every day. We did daily trips to Arezzo, Assisi, Siena, Florenz and Montepulciano. All spots are located in short or middle short distance. We really like to come back and can recommend the accommodation for a family who likes a quiet vacation in a simply beautiful landscape.

Het huisje is te duur voor de geboden kwaliteit. De inrichting, servies, glazen etc. is erg minimaal (alleen wijnglazen bijv.). De koelkast heeft een erg klein, niet gesloten vriesvak. Vriesvak is wel nodig aangezien er geen winkels in de buurt zijn en dus ingekocht moet worden bij een supermarkt op 7 km afstand. Met name de badkamer is erg slecht: douche oud en met schimmel, invalidetoilet, geen raam. De ligging van het huisje is wel prachtig, je hebt een schitterend uitzicht over de omgeving.

Afgelopen week met 4 personen in het huis "La Quiete Nel Vigneto" verbleven. We werden hartelijk ontvangen door de eigenaresse die na 2 dagen nog even terugkwam om te controleren of alles naar wens was. Huis is (op de keuken na) ruim en alle kamers voorzien van airco wat echt nodig was. Tuin is erg groot en je hebt totale privacy, zelfs het zwembad was groter dan we hadden verwacht. Het gedeelte van het zwembad is omheind en dmv een hekje te bereiken, ideaal als je kinderen of een hond hebt en niet wil dat ze zelf gaan zwemmen. Reistijd naar Cortona of hetT rassimeno meer is 15 min, goede uitvalsbasis dus! Al met al een top vakantie gehad, het huis is zeker de moeite waard om naartoe terug te gaan.
