Furnished with antiques and comprised of seven bedrooms, choose to cook for yourselves in your large kitchen or have someone prepare something delicious for you, right in the comfort of your home. Only adding to its greatness is the fact that this farmhouse in Italy is within walking distance of Sant'Albino di Montepulciano.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
This was our second visit to this beautiful property. This time we stayed 2 weeks. The villa is beautiful and our family of twelve would definitely stay there gain.
Enjoyed Most:
The kitchen, outside area and swimming pool were extra special.
Enjoyed Least:
I can't say we disliked anything about this property.
Surrounding Area:
We really enjoyed being within walking distance to Sant'Albino. The town and nearly area included all the amenities you could ask for - restaurants, grocery stores, shops.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Sant'Albino is within walking distance. Its location is one of the reasons I chose the property. The villa is known locally as Podrere Monti.
Tips or Restaurants:
Restaurants of families that include older children Tre Stella and Il Covo were especially welcoming to our large group and the meal was very good. Carry out pizza from Tre Stella was especially helpful after a long day of travel. Local pasticceria (Baked goods) were very good. The local grocer in Sant'Albina was very friendly and had much of what is needed.
Directions:
I would use a GPS to find the property. You should have no problem finding the villa with either good directions or a GPS. The property is known locally as Podere Monti. This is very important to finding the villa.
Check In Out:
Silvia made check- in and check-out easy. The entire process was, believe it or not, enjoyable.

Overall:
Excellent LOCATION!
Enjoyed Most:
Excellent - right in the heart of Italy's wine country.
Enjoyed Least:
Not much to dislike
Surrounding Area:
Lovely landscape and 1-day round-trip trip to many of Italy's cities, such as Florence, Pisa, Siena.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Yes, it was within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
I found it impossible to find a bad restaurant in Italy. Planning your Italy holiday in advance is critical. Hiring knowledgeable guides is best way to visit any city's art treasures.
Directions:
No need we hire a transport service that enabled us to visit all locations in the least amount of time. Doing it on your own will result in spending more finding your way than experiencing Italy's treasures
Check In Out:
No- everything was executed efficiently.

Our second visit and, once again, it exceeded our expectations.

Nothing!!
Surrounding Area:

Nearby Events or Locales:
St Albino less than a half mile walk.
Tips or Restaurants:
Every eating experience in St Albino was excellent. Grocery store and restaurante personnel all friendly and accommodating.
Directions:
Hire a car service so that you don't lose valuable vacation time. Definitely get an auto with a GPS. The US based GPS was not good.

Sylvia was excellent. She made it all easy and was available whenever needed.
