The Apartment is grand and well furnished in antique style. We had a very enjoyable stay.
My only minor quibbles were:
a) All the showers lacked a shelf to place toileteries while showering...this can and should be easily remedied
b) The showers had good pressure, but the shower heads were very fine, so that the stream of water was very painful (like needles!) the shower heads at Pergolo were perfect and perhaps the ones at Padronale should be changed
c) From the internet description, it wasnt actually clear that the house is so far from any civilization or transport links! San Polo is 4-5km away on an uneven dirt road, which was a bit disconcerting coming up at dusk the first time....its a bit far to get quick groceries (and the shops are open short hours). There are very few transport options at San Polo (only 2 buses a day - early morn and evening to florence) so if any part of the party of guests that want to go off independently from the rest of the group needs to have a separate car.
