Wonderful Italian holiday
We are a family group ranging from 17-93 years and 2 dogs. We were well looked after by the owners, who were very kind, asking how our 93 year old mum was getting on and giving tips about driving her to the pool area. The property was lovely-huge old stone walls. Well equipped kitchen, including fans in every room and the owners were very responsive to requests to replace 2 fans that were not working. The front door opens out to the road but this is not busy. One of our dogs was happy lying by the door watching the world go by!
The pool area was wonderful with a great sized pool and plentiful loungers. It’s a very steep hill to the pool area, but fine for able bodied people. Once there, the toilets and changing area and fridge/freezer meant that you could stay for a while.
The outside eating area was beautiful and kept very clean and tidy.
The only downside for us was that it was an unusually very hot 2 weeks and therefore the sleeping areas were very hot, even with fans. However the downstairs living areas were much cooler due to the very thick walls.
The village is beautiful with spectacular views over the countryside. We ate at the gorgeous Da Clara restaurant a couple of evenings and also got takeaway pizzas which were great! We also attended a wonderful classical concert in the village.
We visited Siena, Florence and Volterra, as well as local markets in Castelnuevo and Pomerance.
A wonderful stay! Highly recommended.
