Ein wunderschönes Agrotourismo, gut gelegen für Ausflüge in die Umgebung, toller Pool mit herrlicher Fernsicht, saubere, gepflegte Zimmer und sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Betreiber. Das Frühstück ist landestypisch und reichhaltig und auf jeden Fall seinen Preis wert. Ab und zu wird auch Abendessen angeboten, was sehr lecker geschmeckt hat.

Perfect😻
Perfect. Such a beautiful property and wonderful owners. 🥰The breakfast was excellent. We arrived late and the owner nicely waited and welcomed us. He booked us a wonderful restaurant that had excellent food, service and price. ☺️ Since we were late, the owner's wife suggested that we stay longer the next day without extra charge!🥰 Unbelievable kindness and hospitality.❣️ We were only sorry that we were there for a short time, we will definitely come back!

Best 3 day stay of our 17 days in Italy!
Andrew and Anthony were awesome. They accommodated us at every turn. We did not have a car, they shuttled us to a local restaurant. We did not have food, they cooked for us. They made us drinks, suggested wines and helped us enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rolling Tuscany landscape. Our Stay here was wonderful, just not long enough.

Very quiet and relaxed property. Beautiful Tuscan views. Well located for several Tuscan towns. Staff very friendly and attentive. Continental plus breakfast with high quality options.
Only negative comment: the location is rural and subject to insects. They should provide screens for all windows.
