B&G Grant, Virginia, USA, May 2010 visit - We had an idyllic stay - just how we pictured a Tuscan Villa getaway. Highlights you should know: 1) this place is tucked away up on a hillside where you are among the vineyards - views are lovely. 2) the staff makes the place - hard to imagine there could be something more delightful than the views, but they were helpful, friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. They switch from desk staff to chef to wine server all with grace. 3) We loved that we could stay, eat, do wine tasting and a cooking lesson all in one place. 4) Our suite was large and quirky as it was a converted out building. The great room was fabulous - huge windows on 3 sides looking out over courtyard, fireplace and efficiency cooking area. Bed was comfortable; bedroom and bath a little small. 5) Breakfast and dinner was delicious and generous. 6) Great little restaurant down the road - fabulous find. 7) Great central location to tour wineries, castles and towns in Chianti region. Hope these details help you in your search!

A very pleasant and charming romantic house. Very cosy and the house stays real cool and had all the comfort we needed. The owner of the property lives nearby and is very friendly, charming and helpful, as well as his family. We had a huge part of the garden for our own with real privacy. The pool was 5 x 5. Not big but my two sons 11 and 13 had a great time. Especially with the small cute dog and lots of young cats, so adorable.
If you want some peace and want to relax, reading a nice book enjoying the environment, its possible here. You don't hear the cars in the streets its very peaceful and quiet. Except for some dogs barking further on and the TGV(train) you hear once in a while.
For us this place has given us a warm, beautiful memory.

Fantastisch mooi gelegen huis : een oase van rust, stilte en de meest prachtige uitzichten. We waren sprakeloos. Prima gelegen voor uitstappen naar de kust (Rosignano Solvay - Spiagge Bianche!), naar Firenze of naar Siena. Tip : breng matjes voor de ligstoelen mee.

Appartment was very good, but too much noise, because its allocated in the center road! But there were many advantages. Bakery 2 mins by walk, supermarket 5 mins, barber shop for ladies across the road, beach 5 mins by walk! Very convnient!

Heerlijk vakantiehuis temidden van vele bezienswaardigheden midden in Toscane. Ligging is mooi, ruimte prima voor een grote groep. Zwembad fantastisch en goed onderhouden. Meubels in tuin en huis en huisraad kan beter,is wat goedkoop en versleten.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Delicious holiday home among many attractions in the middle of Tuscany. Location is great, great space for a large group. Fabulous pool and well maintained. Garden furniture, house furniture and household goods could be better, they are a little cheap and worn.
