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:
Awesome
Enjoyed Most:
Everything was smooth and easy. Silvia was fantastic. The villa's location is great and it's easy to get anywhere from there. Also, the people at the market in S. Albino were super friendly.
Surrounding Area:
It's exactly what we expected it to be!
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.
Directions:
GPS worked well.
Check In Out:
We'd stay there again!

Overall:
We had a great experience! The villa was wonderful! Beautiful views from all sides of the villa. Very spacious.
Enjoyed Most:
Nice location. We used the villa as a launching point to visit cities such as Florence and Siena, and hill towns including Montepulciano and Cortona.
Enjoyed Least:
Not a thing, a wonderful place to vacation.
Surrounding Area:
We enjoyed Montepulciano which was a short drive away. Great shopping and restaurants.
Nearby Events or Locales:
St Albino has a downtown within walking distance. It provided amenities such as a grocery store and an ATM.
Tips or Restaurants:
One restaurant that we did not see in any reviews was Ristorante La Casina. We had a great dinner there. Also Osteria Acquacheta was an awesome restaurant. Make reservations if you go there.
Directions:
We used Waze for all our travel to Tuscany.
Check In Out:
Silvia made the check in check out very easy. She provided all the needed details to make it a great vacation!!
