Thus property allows accesd to all the great local places-cortona, pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Siena, and Florence all within relatively short distances, often with magnificent scenery on the way.
The house is a typical country house, with all the noises and critters you find in the countryside. The bedrooms upstairs have ac, and most windows have screens as the mosquitos are aggressive for about an hour each evening.
Our host was super-responsive, despite some difficult personal stuff happening at the same time. If there was a problen she was able to address it the next day, or dispatch someone who could.
The only two negatives (for which there was no remedy possible, though if it were, she would have made ut so) are that the house is attached to another property (different owner) whose septic tank overflowed, and the farmer at the bottom of the hill has a kennel full of dogs who howl for a while each time he arrives (It is the country!), which breaks the silence, but you get used to it.
Lucignano is the small town on the hill across the valley 10 min, which is quiet, not touristy, and full of surprises. Make sure to check it out. Overall a lovely stay and a charming hostess.
