Private PoolOverall impression: It was a giant, beautiful old house. The views from every window and from the giant back patio were absolutely unlike anything we'd ever experienced before. Breathtaking doesn't even cover it!
Highlights: I loved the fact that the villa was so centrally-located--we used it as home base and ran around to a bunch of hillside villages all around Tuscany. The guys' favorite thing was the market on Sunday morning at Panzano.
Unpleasant surprises: I'm a wimp and am scared of bugs. Busecchio is pretty out there in the country, which made it a little too buggy for me. It was worth it, though, regardless. We were also bummed that we only saw one boar and one porcupine. From what everyone had written in the guest book, we expected the hillside to be covered in them! (We were excited to see what we did, though.)
Communication with Sig. Dante was a little bit tougher than expected, especially over the phone. I guess his neice (who speaks English on his behalf, apparently) wasn't around while we were in town. We, unfortunately, had left some things in the house after having left on Saturday, and had to attempt to coordinate a pick up time and place for those things. Thankfully, the owner of Le Caciaie (the next villa we stayed in) helped us a lot, being an Aussie who speaks fluent Italian.
