Customer Reviews
Overall:
There were 13 of us, 8 adults and 5 children ages 6 to 10. All had a great time and there was plenty of room for all. The adults particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio, having a glass of wine and watching the kids play games on the lawn.
Enjoyed Most:
Because we had the children with us, we spent a good amount of time hanging out poolside. It was probably the high point of each afternoon after spending a good part of the day touring in the August heat.
Enjoyed Least:
Lack of air conditioning in the downstairs bedrooms, although the ventilation wasn't too bad.
Surrounding Area:
Visiting Florence, San Gimignano, Siena and Montepulciano and of course the beautiful countryside.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Sant Albino and it was within walking distance however we found it easier to drive. We had dinner at Tre Stella a very kid friendly local restaurant three times and it was at the far end of the town, about a mile from the villa.
Tips or Restaurants:
Most things that you will need can be purchased locally at the market in town or at the much larger supermarket, close by in Montepulciano. We did bring along some plastic baggies and found them very useful for food storage.
Directions:
GPS worked great, on google maps we just had to input the name of the villa and the town.
Check In Out:
Silvia, one of the owners and our primary contact, was great. Both check in and check out went very smoothly.

Overall:
The stay was fantastic! The villa accommodated all 14 of us with lovely rooms and attached bathrooms. The kitchen area was well equipped and allowed us to eat in several evenings. Sylvia was so responsive and welcoming! We absolutely will stay there again!
Enjoyed Most:
The overall atmosphere and feel of the villa was all Tuscany and so welcoming. It was wonderful that it is a working farm with grape vines and olive trees surrounding it!
Enjoyed Least:
Probably the living room...the room did not accommodate our larger group with the way it is set up, and the couches are a bit difficult to use.
Surrounding Area:
The location was fantastic and so close to amenities and yet felt so private.
Nearby Events or Locales:
San Albino and yes we could walk to it. We found a local market that we visited each day, and the employees were so welcoming to us! We felt like family after our week's stay.
Tips or Restaurants:
Would recommend bringing extra toilet paper and paper towels, as well as, plastic storage bags containers, coffee and other food items you might like. We enjoyed the winery associated with the villa. They had wonderful organic wine and a storefront shop in Montepulciano. We drank and enjoyed several cases of their wine!
Check In Out:
Silvia was wonderful to work with, and she made our check in and out so easy!

Nearby Events or Locales:
S. Albino. Yes.
Tips or Restaurants:
Make sure to stop in at the wine shop in Montepulciano. It might be the best view in town. Plus, the wine is excellent and the people are awesome.
