We stayed in June and although it was very hot and sunny while we were there the Villa was usually pleasant even without air conditioning. We stayed in the largest apartment, Salario, with 6 adults. The master suite with large bedroom with antiques and beautiful bath is by far the best room, but the other two bedrooms that share a bath are also nice. They were fine for my adult children and their friends.
We very much enjoyed the area and the fact that the Villa is part of a working farm, the owners breed Arabian Horses and on our last night there we saw a horse born--a truly unique experience. Stephania and Alexandro were nothing but accommodating and the dinner cooked on site was to die for. Buonconvento is a pretty convenient town with good train service. Be prepared in this area for dirt roads with lots of hills and if you rent a car likely a stick shift. We saw Sienna, Montalcino, Florence and much more. A wonderful vacation. Note there is a rooster who makes his presence known very early in the morning--but we got used to him. A family with younger children would find the animals just as charming as we did. And the Pool is to die for!!

Een rustige accomodatie. Keurig net appartement & zeer mooi gelegen in de natuur. De huiseigenaren zijn super gastvrij & erg behulpzaam. Binnen 10 minuten bevindt men zich weer in de bewoonde wereld. Een echte aanrader voor mensen die graag tot rust willen komen, maar ook van cultuur houden; 45 min (trein) gelegen vanaf Florence, 45 min gelegen vanaf Siena etc etc....

What an amazing place! My wife and I just spent our honeymoon in Casa Ametista, for 11 days. It was absolutly perfect! The location is great, about 8 minutes from town, off the main road, no traffic. The property itself has all you need; rustic, authentic charm combined with the necessary modern-day amenities. A full kitchen-our best meals were the ones made at home, enjoyed with local chianti on our private terrace! The owners are incredibly helpful and friendly and the cooking lesson was a highlight of the trip. I would recommend this villa to anyone-it was perfect!
