Picturesque setting! But beware it will take you at least 20 minutes to get to any store, coffee, etc... Accommodations were nice but the beds are really not comfortable. It is 2 hours from Florence, 2 1/2 hrs from Pisa & Lucca, 4 hrs from the Milan airport. It is very very hard to find. We tried to find it in the evening. We spent 4 hours driving around in circles even with the driving instructions. I phone & car GPS couldn’t find the address. Google maps loaded the address but not great instructions. We finally gave up at 2:30 in the morning & went to a hotel. There was this narrow dirt road .with a sign hidden in the trees to the left of a iron double gates that was the driveway to the house. There is no way to turn around on the road once you are on it.
Unfortunately it rained & was cold but it was colder in the house then outside. We had to text her to turn the heat on. One night she didn’t get the text & we frozen. Internet barely works . My daughter needed to get her school work done & couldn’t connect unfortunately.
Cleaning fee was suppose to be $100 but the owner tried to charge us $160. She corrected once we showed her our contract. $100 was steep because all she had to do was clean the bathroom & change 2 beds. The house was clean but not spotless.
There is a great outlet mall in town. No great restaurants nearby. Everything always seemed closed.
The owner is nice & came to meet us so that we could find the house. There are no road signs with street names. There is another property with this same name in the same town. Looks different.

Nice villa, some issues when we arrived—> No hot water, one of the toilets was leaking, and one toilet would not flush. The hot water issue and the leaking toilet was fixed within three hours of arriving. They never fixed the toilet that would not flush the entire week of our stay. When checking out we were charged 60 Euros per day for heat, but our contract stated 50 Euros per day. The Villa owner honored the 50 E per day.

This place is amazing. Family of 12 went and was wonderful. The whole place is brilliant. One villa with 5 rooms and a separate 2 bedroom villa. Views are breathless. Location is good and easy access to pretty much everywhere. We went to Florence, Siena and numerous medieval villages all easily within an hours drive. We will be back. We went last week of May and unfortunately weather wasn’t great and rained but didn’t put us off site seeing. The place is so good that if it were sunny all the time we wouldn’t have wanted to leave the amazing swimming pool. The owners have a real gem here and the wine they make on the vineyard is very good.

The comments below sum up our experience. In brief a lovely tranquil spot, ideal for rest and relaxation but near enough to major tourist spots to enjoy exploring. The owner, Paolo, is really welcoming, friendly and helpful.
