Questions and Answers From Our Clients
(Click the question to view the answer)
Q: Tell me about the cook and if cooking lessons are offered. Is the bathroom adequate? Beds large enough?
A: We stayed self-catering so do not know about meals or cooking. When we arrived there was a small basket of food and a bottle of wine made on the premises to welcome us. There were local restaurants and shops although all were a drive away as the property is in the large grounds of an estate.
Both ensuite bathrooms were excellent; large, clean and as with the rest of the property, traditionally appointed.
Certainly we found the beds, bedrooms and the accommodation in general to be more than adequate and we spent a superb week at the property.
We had a wonderful stay including a tour and tasting of the wine made on the estate.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
Fantastic. I wanted to stay another week. Can't wait to go back.
Enjoyed Most:
Everything. The view was fantastic and it was so centrally located. We did three day trips.
Surrounding Area:
The central locality. The nearby towns. Cinque Terre, Piambino, Island of Elba, Pisa, and Chianti with surrounding villages and walled cities.
Tips or Restaurants:
You don't need to bring a thing. Ask the staff. All of their suggestions were great.
Directions:
We didn't have a GPS. We thought we had gone too far and pulled over at an AutoGrille (which by the way are FANTASIC) and found out it was only two more exits down the autostrada.
Check In Out:
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They drove up to our villa and personally showed us around. The wine was great and when we were in Volterra, we went to a cheese shop and got sausages and cheeses and fruit and got back just in time to catch the sunset. Dreamy!

Overall:
This property was perfect for us. We received a warm greeting and check-in was flawless and quick. The estate was impressive, the view from all angles was gorgeous, and the property was centrally located in the Tuscan region, so that we could easily drive to other villages. The pool was beautiful with lovely furniture where we could sit and enjoy wine and the estate winery. We could easily drive to a great little coffee shop in the morning and to other restaurants in the evening. You do need a car if staying at this villa.
Enjoyed Most:
The entire experience was outstanding. The views were incomparable. It is hard to single out one particular thing. I only wish we had been able to stay longer and relax more at the villa vs driving to Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and other areas. I want to come back and stay longer the next time!
Enjoyed Least:
We did have a problem with the washing machine, which was a great plus to have, but one of the two was not working properly. Small glitch in the overall big picture.
Surrounding Area:
The little village that was a close drive, and meeting the owner each morning and the people who frequented the coffee shop. The owner greeted us with warmth every day.
Nearby Events or Locales:
No, one needs a car.
Tips or Restaurants:
We drove to the nearest Coop and bought wine, cheese, baguette, fruit and a few other essentials. All restaurants are good--fresh food and great Italian flavors.
Directions:
We rented a GPS that spoke Italian to us, which was useless. The first night at a local restaurant the waiter fixed the GPS to speak English.
Check In Out:
Check in process was quick and smooth. We showed our passport and did not need a copy. There were no problems.

Overall:
Very, very enjoyable
Enjoyed Most:
The quiet peacefulness and the view.
Enjoyed Least:
The distance to a village. I would have preferred a decent-sized village to be within walking distance, so that I could walk to and from supper.
This, of course, cannot be changed
Surrounding Area:
It is Tuscany. The area to the south was beautiful.
Tips or Restaurants:
A GPS is required if you are not familiar with the area. Maps are OK, but many streets and roads are very poorly marked, if at all.
The restaurants recommended by the staff were very good, once you found them (more detailed descriptions of exactly how to get to them would be helpful).
Directions:
I did not have a GPS but easily found it from the FI-LI-PI autoroute.
Check In Out:
I arrived Saturday afternoon. The directions said to ring the bell and proceed down the tree lined road to reception. You cannot do that as the gate is locked. It should say to ring the bell and wait at the gate until it is opened.
