Stay: May 2017
Ein traumhaftes Anwesen inmitten von Olivenhainen, tolle Aussicht, einsam gelegen auf einem Berg, leider holprig über einen nicht asphaltierten Weg zu erreichen.
Local attractions San Gimilliano, der schönste ort der Toskana, immer eine Reise wert. Der Markt in Pontassive sehr zu empfehlen.

Stay: June 2016
We had a wonderfully relaxing week at an incredible location. Truly stunning gardens, excellent pool, amazing views and the whole property is spacious and very well maintained. The owners - Franco, Maria and son Mattia (and Lola their dog) - were delightful and very helpful. Happy to recommend and we hope to return.
Local attractions Good local train service to Florence.
