The apartment was better than expected based on website information. We were treated very well by the owners and appreciated their service and interest in us.
Driving to this property is very challenging as it is in a 'no car' zone. The directions I received on the booking form were inadequate and some of the information no longer applies. Please revise this part of the info package.
[note from Easy Reserve: The directions have been updated]

We stayed at the Agriturismo San Clemente in Panzano for two weeks. This is a great location for taking day trips around central Italy (Florence, Tuscany, Umbria) such as Assisi, Cortona, Volterra, San Gimignano, and Siena among others. The scenery is breathtaking no matter where you go. We were lucky to be there during the poppy and iris season.
Olive groves and vineyards surround this serene and peaceful property and can be seen from every window in the apartment. The one-bedroom apartment was extremely clean, very well furnished, with an up-to-date kitchen with dishwasher, full refrigerator, and stove top. There was always hot water for a shower and WIFI worked perfectly every day that we were there.
The owner, Alberto Guri, was very friendly, made us espresso when we arrived, and offered advice on which areas to visit. He also brought flowers on a number of occasions which were very much appreciated. Although. Alberto speaks little English he uses his computer for translation. He also helped us with our pronunciation of Italian. I certainly miss seeing and talking with him every morning.
The village of Panzano is a few minutes away by car. There are some excellent restaurants there and an outdoor market every Sunday morning where you can buy all your extremely fresh vegetables, fruit, bread, cheese and meat. There is also a Co-op grocery store minutes away from the apartment. There is also, an outdoor market in Greve every Saturday which is approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car – great restaurants and shopping there as well.

Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr idyllisch und bietet alles was man so braucht. Allerdings ist der Vermittler EasyReserve sehr ungenau mit seinen Aussagen was den Anfahrtsweg betrifft. Ich hatte diesbezüglich extra angefragt, ob der Weg Sportwagen-tauglich ist, doch leider mussten wir dann feststellen dass entgegen der Behauptung von EasyReserve der Weg ein Feldweg war und ich mir das Fzg noch beschädigte. Leider kam auch auf eine Mail an Easy Reserve bezüglich dieses Vorfalls keine Antwort zurück. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich, können aber leider nur englisch.

We were a party of 6, 4 of whom were first timers to Italy. Casa di Vignolo was the perfect intro to a small community with good access to all the main centres of Siena, Florence, Arrezo and the Tuscan hill towns. The house was perfect, the locals were very friendly, the food and wine at le Cantine was great. Our cooking class at Marina's house was great fun and we would highly recommend it. Our friends loved the "old style" Tuscan home without the fancy trappings of pool or spa.

het was een leuke vakantie met een zeer intressante omgeving
het huisje was ook heel leuk met de nodige voorzieningen
de eigenaars zijn heel vriendelijke mensen
we hebben daar ook heel knappe panorama's gezien zowel bij het huisje als bij het rondrijden
dus de moeite waard

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] It was a fun holiday with a very interesting surroundings. The house was very nice, with all facilities. The owners are very friendly people.
Also we have seen some very beautiful panoramas seen both at the house as when driving around,
so worth the visit.
