Overall: Check-in and check-out was very smooth. Staff were wonderful and responded quickly to our inquiries and requests. Enjoyed Most: Grounds were lovely with spectacular views. It was well-situated near other small towns and the autostrada. Enjoyed Least: Second bathroom toilet was broken. There was no hot water in the shower. Editor's Note: All repairs have been completed. April, 2015. Surrounding Area: The surrounding area had spectacular views. The lovely town of San Casciano is nearby, with a large grocery and wine store. The Antinori Winery is a five minute drive away in Bargino, definitely worth a tour. Nearby Events or Locales: The nearest town is Bargino. It would be quite a trek to walk there down a winding, narrow road. Tips or Restaurants: I would bring face cloths because towels are not changed during the week unless you ask. Also, flip flops as the stone floor is cold.For traditional, home-cooked Tuscan food, we really enjoyed Trattoria da Bule in Bargino. Nello in San Casciano was also very good with great service and friendly staff. Directions: The directions to the property were excellent, and once outside Florence, it was easy to find even if we didn't have a GPS. Otherwise, we found the GPS invaluable to find our way to other locations. Check In Out: There were absolutely no issues with check-in check-out.
