Overall: Overall, it was a pleasant stay. The building has layers of history within it. It is quite spacious and it easily accommodated the eight of us. It was neat and clean. The owner was pleasant, very charming, and attentive. He pretty much trusted us to enjoy the villa without interfering. Enjoyed Most: A beautiful building. The in-ground pool was wonderful. The vineyard was picturesque. Enjoyed Least: Kitchen appliances such as the coffee maker and toaster need updating. Also, I believe that our stay would have been more productive if we had received more appropriate information from the owner about the villa and the surrounding area when we first arrived. By the time we were able to explore, the week was over. Surrounding Area: I loved the Subbiano street festival. Alessandro made us feel right at home. The location, rather rural, was a bit of a ride for side trips (Siena, Florence, Assisi, Cortona, Radda) but doable. Nearby Events or Locales: Walking to Subbiano or Capalona was not convenient. We took the car. Tips or Restaurants: The two restaurants closest to the villa -- Taverna dei Briganti and Torre Santa Flora -- were wonderful. Torre Santa Flora was probably one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The proprietors of both restaurants could not have been any more pleasant and helpful. Directions: Most road signs from the Autostrada and from Arezzo did not list Subbiano. We had to follow signs (we found by stopping to ask) that led to Bibbiena. Renters should know that a "white road" is an unpaved road. The villa is up the hill using the "white road." We had problems with our GPS. Check In Out: I would have appreciated a more thorough check-in process. The owner, due to other commitments, was available upon our arrival for only a very short time. He stopped by during the week and was very accommodating. Still, I think we would have liked to have the information we requested earlier in our stay.
