Overall: We enjoyed the property and the surrounding area. The location is close enough to Florence and Siena, and yet we felt like we were in the countryside. Enjoyed Most: The peace and quiet. The grounds were very pretty. Enjoyed Least: The view from the property. It would have been great to see a view of the valley from a hillside. Surrounding Area: We enjoyed the small towns and vineyards that were in easy driving distance. Nearby Events or Locales: Pianella. It was not in walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: Actually Franco was extremely helpful and provided good ideas and recommendations. Directions: We did use a GPS that I rented with the car. It was extremely helpful. Check In Out: Franco was at the property when we arrived and agreed to meet us very early on our Check Out day.
