Die Region Grosseto ist nicht so sehr von Touristen überlaufen. Die Bevölkerung ist höflich und hilfsbereit.
Die Unterkunft war auch gut. Wir waren mit 9 Personen in der Wohnung. Somit waren alle Plätze ausgereizt.
An manchen Tagen war es durch den Wind doch recht kühl. Den Pool konnten wir leider nicht nutzen, da zu kalt.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The region of Grosseto is not so much overrun by tourists. The people is polite and helpful.
The accommodation was also good. We were with 9 people in the apartment, thus it was fully occupied.
Some days it was pretty cool because of the wind. Unfortunately we could not use the pool, as it was too cold.

A beautiful house both inside and out. The renovation has been done in exceptionally good taste. The large downstairs lounge areas is especially charming. The house is situated in very attractive, lush and quiet surroundings at the end of a 1 1/2 km drive on gravel road. It is also a very easy drive to Sam Gimignano, Volterra, Siena etc. All in all perfect! And it was a useful opportunity to learn to make superior espresso on the stove top coffee pot and use the ice cream machine to make gelato. Thanks a lot! Cass & Jesper (Sydney, Australia)

We are pleased that we chose Il Pigionale as home base for our 2 weeks in Tuscany. The property provided everything the four of us needed. The village had an excellent restaurant within easy walking distance as well as a butcher, fruit and vegetable market, drug store, small grocery store and even a bar!

This is a lovely property less than thirty minutes drive from Siena. We stayed there with twelve friends for a week and had a fantastic time. It acted as a comfortable base for us to explore the Tuscany region and as a great location to chill out.

We loved the history associated with the villa and its old world charm. There were a variety of rooms in different configurations - everyone in our group was able to find something that suited them.

We also paid for dinner on two nights at the property. The cook, Vana, did a fantastic job and both meals were wonderful.

The villa is only a five minute walk into Ville Di Corsano where there is a shop, a pharmacy a post office and quite a good local trattoria.

I highly recommend the property and would go there again.

The accommodation was very spacious and well equipped and clean. The area is very picturesque and relaxing. It was very well located to San Gimignano (but not by public transport, you need a car to stay here). The apartment is in the downstairs area of a working vineyard and farm, there are lots of cats hanging around outside, but they do not bother the guests (just be sure to open the doors quickly, as do they think it is a great game to try and get into the apartments). The owners were very friendly and helpful. Please also note that if you have a MacBook, the wireless internet may not work - it did not work on ours, and we were told this has happened before with Macs.
