Excellent 5 /5The place was like a dream. The landscape is so beautiful, the accommodations are perfect, complete with an adequate bathroom, a large comfy bedroom with tons of natural light, and a wonderful kitchen/living/dining room. The kitchen includes a small refrigerator, a toaster oven, and cutlery, dishes, etc. our host was charming and friendly without being overbearing. He gave us a bottle of wine on our arrival from a local vineyard. The locale is a beautiful olive farm, and he kindly shared with us a small tin of his handmade olive oil, perhaps our favorite souvenir from our entire trip to Italy. This felt like an extra generous gesture that perhaps can't be expected by every guest but we had a wonderful, long conversation with him about his farm, his life in Italy, Europe, American politics, and Italian lifestyle. He was perfectly happy to chat in English. Just a kind, unassuming, accommodating soul we were thrilled to get to know. He shared with us a very helpful map and recommended a route for us to drive through Tuscany to hit the most beautiful towns and avoid highways in favor of more a picturesque route. Driving this route and coming home to our beautiful villa in Siena was the highlight of the entire trip for me.
A little more about the accomidations: we visited in mid May and the pool wasn't open yet, but he recommended a hot springs close by. Honestly we didn't have time to swim anyway. But the pool is there and I assume he opens it later than mid may. There are delightful kitties about that keep to themselves. Our accommodation itself is a freestanding house, but it's not clear that every accommodation at this property is that way. The location is ideal; very convenient to Siena but truly feels like the countryside and the middle of nowhere. Absolutely the best place we stayed our entire trip; totally worth the cost.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
