Once again we had a wonderful two week holiday at Il Doccio. This is now the third two week holiday we have had at this beautiful place over the past five years. Marina, Francesco and family made us most welcome and despite the fact we have now visited three times, we have found new places to visit. Francesco has been extremely helpful in advising us of where to go and what to see.

Il Doccio is well placed to visit Sienna, Florence, and Arezzo. We also have had great pleasure walking in the hills and and Frecesco has advised us how to drive high into the hills (several thousand feet) along the white roads. We have walked along the ridges many times and particularly at the cross and communication station. We were amazed to find wild horses and pure white cattle at the summit.The views are amazing.
We really did enjoy the Tuscan cooking lessons run by Marina. It was great to prepare a truely Italian meal for several hours and then enjoy eating it under the stars with with Marina and Francesco. All washed down with red wine produced from their vinyard. The swimming pool at Il Doccio is simply glorious and each time we have visited we went for a swim before breakfast and on returning from visits to the hills and towns.

Francesco, Marina and family are really lovely people and their vinyard at Il Doccio is simply glorious. We have enjoyed every minute of the time we have spent at this beautiful place.
