We had a wonderful time at Andrea’s property. He met us at the property and set us up perfectly to have a relaxing first evening after a day’s travel, with a cot and little bath tub for our bath 18m old daughter and everything else we could need for our stay.
The kitchen was well stocked with stuff you don’t want to have to go and get on your first night - milk, jam, salt, pepper, oil, coffee etc. We really appreciated that. It’s so peaceful at the property, very private, no one is able to really look in or see your space which is nice. It’s lovely to stay in the middle of nowhere with cockerels and sheep waking you up in the morning. The views are incredible and the sunsets we experienced were so vivid. There are a lot of things to occupy you at the apartment such as games and things and a tv if you wanted to spend an evening in.
The air con was welcome as was the pool for cooling down. The pool is massive and had barely anyone else there.
You definitely need a car to get around but the local town is so nice with many good options for drinks and food (some with breath taking views).
The locals are so friendly. We’d recommend san gimiginano as a day trip which had good options for food, interesting history and sights and shops for souvenirs and art. Florence and Siena are drivable too and we made day trips out of both of those places and really enjoyed. Andrea has some great suggestions in his guidebook and by text he recommended where to park in both cities.
All in all, we had a great time, would recommend to anyone and hope to return soon!
