The ambience of this medieval castle was amazing. It surpassed our expectations. Our only disappointment was that there were no screens on any of our three bedroom windows, which allowed bats to enter our rooms. We had to keep the windows closed, which was not good on hot nights. Otherwise, we loved our stay. What a great villa.

We stayed at ANTICO FIENILE for 2 weeks and enjoyed it for several reasons:

1. The house and the apartment are simply beautiful, craftsmanship at its best!

2. It was terribly hot this July (37 to 40 degrees Celsius), so we only survived because of the cooling system in the living room and the bedroom ;-) it worked perfectly!

3.) The landlords were so incredibly helpful and friendly, communication worked fine although we hardly speak any Italian and they speak little English.

4.) It's a fine place for golfers: 4 minutes to walk (!) to MONTECATINI GOLF.

5.) It took us an hour drive (in any case) to all the places we wanted to see : Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Giminiano, Firenze, ... so the house is kind of centrally located :-)

6.) The house is at a hill, quietly situated within olive groves ... we loved the peace!

7.) Thank you, Marco and Paolo, for beeing so helpful and friendly! :-)

The villa is more charming in person than in the pictures. It was full of Italian character yet completely up-to-date with modern bathrooms and amenities. The weather was unseasonably hot when we visited in the summer, but the air conditioning and pool made it all comfortable.

The pool area is particularly lovely and was a delight to return to after touring every day. The pool water was the perfect temperature: cool enough to be refreshing but not uncomfortably chilly. One half of the grassy area surrounding the pool is shaded while the other half is sunny, allowing our group to chose the spot of their liking.

The covered outdoor dining space was so inviting we ended up eating our meals at home every night. The large table had no trouble accommodated our group of 11.

The only thing I would change is that the mattresses are very firm and all the beds use single-size mattresses. (In some rooms the mattresses are attached to act as a one two-person bed but with a seam in the middle.) Some people might prefer the extra firm mattresses since that's matter of taste.
