We have been in the middle of winter in that place. Our stay was very comfortabel and we where overwellhelmed by the kindness and the care The Owner and his family took for us. They have cooked every day excellent 3 cours menus in toscanian style for us. The ecological Wine he is making on his property is fantastic. And the location of this place is wonderfull. By car You can be in 1,5 hours to all sights and big cities of Toscana but You can also walk by foot ore go by bike. A really lovely place we can recommend it and we wish to be soon there again.

A lovely property. The rooms were spacious and the views from the patios were excellent. Good linens and the ladies were nice enough to procure a microwave for us. We were the only people on the property so they were able to raid the other apartments.

My complaint is that other than the olive oil and wines that were stocked for a price, we would have appreciated some basic stuff, like salt and pepper and maybe enough coffee for the next morning. We arrived late afternoon and there was nowhere to procure these things without making a trip to the village which we were in no mood to do after a long journey all the way from Rome. If we had been told in advance that there was basically nothing there, we would have planned accordingly. Surely these few things could have been provided considering what we were paying. Some paper towels would have also been appreciated.

We decided to leave a day early because my mother is disabled and thought we should spend the last night at a hotel near Florence airport. I asked about this several days in advance but was told that it was not possible because the owner had already been paid. I can assure you nobody was waiting for our suite. We are not rich and a refund for one night would have defrayed the cost of an expensive hotel.

I would hesitate to recommend the property unless some of these issues could have been resolved.

Really great place to stay. The villa is very big, very clean and the owners are very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this villa for those looking for a tranquil location off of the beat and path.

Loved almost every ascpect of the vacation, But the hot water tank was so bad that one person could not take a WHOLE hot shower. Hot water would run out every time

As beautiful as the photos. Would stay there again. There was a thunder storm which knocked out the power on the first morning. Had to track down the manager to get it restored. The third morning there was no hot water. Should have been given a discount. Was disappointed with that.Kitchen was not stocked with cleaning implements. No dish cloths or rags or dish detergent. Guests are expected to supply their own. Thought they should have been supplied. If guests are only staying a few nights, should not have to find a grocery store to buy dish detergent.
These things aside, I would recommend as a lovely location to enjoy a nice quiet stay in Tuscany.
