Renter Rating: 5/5.

We had a really good time and the property we stayed in was excellent. The facilities were very good and a very nice relaxed atmosphere. Staying in the castle was a great experience however the sound proofing is not that great, however this is to be expected in such an old building - there are notices to keep volumes down between certain times 11pm - 8am.
Our biggest mistake was not preparing for Mosquitos...I would suggest that everyone going here buys a zapper before they go and plug in well before going to sleep...we made the silly mistake of letting a few in after our first night out and we suffered because of this for a few days.
Great weather, lots to do, many places to see - Siena is the best though in my opinion and only 45 mins away in a car.
One last thing, if you are going to rent a car, I would swerve trying to get a cheap deal and stick to a known company such as Europcar as you will incur many hidden charges and potentially not the car you ordered - a few people we met had the same issue.
With regards to the Villas / castle - highly recommended and great value for money...oh if you do go, when you come out of the resort, drive through Barccaiano, turn right and head along that road for about 3 minutes and you will find a lovely little restaurant on the right hand side - fantastic food and service!
Enjoy!

The villa is beautiful and peaceful, people are friendly, room is comfortable and clean. We spent lot of time at the pool, it's a relaxing and beautiful place to hang out. We will stay longer next time!

The house was a lovely and authentic Tuscan house, located right on the square of a small village.

The property is in a good central position within easy reach of Pisa, Florence and Sienna and of cause - Chianti. Stunning views across the whole area including San Gimigano. The villa was newly refurbished and was in great condition with a very nice pool and garden. The interior is spacious and has all modern equipment and some impressive touches like the Jacuzzi. We stayed for one week as a family of 4 and enjoyed our time there - some good restaurants in the area too. On the downside, the villa does not suit a young family like ours as the 3 bedrooms are spread over 3 floors so if you want your children nearby, then you have to use the sofa bed in the upstairs living area. Sleeping upstairs in summer is HOT but you cannot open the windows due to the number of biting insects and lack of window nets. Take a mozzi net or lots of repellent. Would certainly return or recommend

The Villa is very beautiful and quite rustic. If you want to experience living in the mountains in Tuscany this is the place to stay. The house keepers are wonderful and will cook for you and share local places to go and see. The area is so peaceful and so beautiful. There are GREAT restaurants near by, you can do wine tastings, cooking class, you are 15-20 minutes from Florence. It is a wonderful vacation if you want peace and quite and to experience Tuscany as its best. The villa is expensive and there are other options that are less expensive. This villa however is very private and that is a big plus. All in all it was a GREAT vacation just a bit expensive!
