Staying in this house was a definite highlight of our 2 week trip in Europe. Luigi, the owner, was friendly and answered all questions we had while introducing us to the home. Watching the sheep graze and seeing deer on the distant meadows were an added bonus.
The pool was great to have and was enjoyed by all 14 of us. We used the washer and clothes line everyday. The small cooking area off of the living room area is great. It has a professional exhaust fan, is well lit and has a sink. We didn’t use it the first night we were there and the small kitchen at the back of the house got very hot. We had booked ahead to have Alessandro, who is The Tuscan Chef, to come on the second day we were there. He had cooked in the house before and introduced us to the cooking area adjacent to the living room. We highly recommend Alessandro - the Tuscan Chef. The meal he taught us how to prepare was delicious, authentic Tuscan, and fun. Alessandro recommended a small wine shop, Porto Franco, in Montisi. The owner was very helpful and her tasting area is an actual cave.
The bedrooms were large and accommodated our group. We loved the outdoor covered patio with lovely flowers and plenty of seating. The views and sunsets are magnificent. Pictures we took are quintessentially Tuscan. Some of our friends cannot believe the photos are just as we took them.
