We've recently returned from a fantastic two week stay and have to say, had an amazing time. We were looking for somewhere to stay where we could take our dog, where we could chill out in the sunshine, yet where there were places for us to visit and things for us to do... Quite specific really. We booked 'ulivo' (#3) and my first first impression when I walked though the door was 'how delightful'! So cosy, self contained and with amazing views from the patio and bedroom. The accomodation was perfect for us. We were tucked away a little, which meant our pooch had an incredible amount of freedom. She was sooo safe. She never goes too far, but even so there are few places I've been in the uk where I've felt that she has had so much secure safe space to sniff, chase birds and potter to her heart's content.
The location is beautiful. Peaceful and full of wildlife. We had an owl living living under our window sill and saw a wild deer and porcupine during our stay. We walked every day, which was a great way to explore the surrounding area - there are some good hills that get the heart beating! Helped counteract the effects of all the amazing food!
Food - the dinners provided are amazing and not to be missed. We went to the welcome dinner on our first night, also the Tuscan meal and the pizza night! I thought I was going to burst! The food was delicious and plentiful... I was amazed at the generosity .. And as a veggie was spoiled rotten with dishes especially cooked for me. For a change of scenery, there is a restaurant in Acone, about 20mins steepishwalk away - loved it, you can roll down hill afterwards.! Also, the restaurant in the main square in Rufina was fab! Great food, always packed with locals yet despite this, quick efficient service with a smile. Great ice cream in Florence, but cheaper in Siena!
I would definitely return, the other guests helped make our holiday extra special, as did the efforts that Gabio, Laura and the team went to to ensure we had the best of holidays. Thank you to all for your warmth, hospitality and generosity, you're the best! :0)
