Stay: May 2017

Sehr schöne Ferienunterkunft in toller Landschaft mit kompletter Ausstattung und sehr geschmackvoller Einrichtung. Die Terrasse ist wie gemacht für ein toskanisches Frühstück. Sehr viel Platz in allen Zimmern. Internet ist etwas langsam. Zufahrt (ca 1,5 km) über Schotterweg ist nicht ganz optimal. Swimming Pool und Tennisplatz hervorragend. Service für Check in/out sehr gut.

Stay: July 2016

Excellent location and great accomodation - large, clean and fully furnished down to the last detail.
The kids loved the pool, although most of it is quite deep for small children.
Collection of the key could have been better - we wandered around the property looking for the key holder for a fair while.

Overall a very high standard and a lovely quiet spot.

Restaurant in san sano excellent - a bit pricey but worth it. We found it easier to go to the large supermarket called Pam on the outskirts of siena near the train station as open all day and the drive was easier.
