Incredibly scenic
Incredibly scenic, calm and relaxing location to get away. Location is perfect for chilling at the pool and soaking in the breathtaking views or taking day-trips to Siena (half hour), Florence (1 hour), Pisa (1.5 hours), Livorno beaches (about 2 hours). Alberto met us the first night and made us homemade pasta which was to die for. His sculpture / artwork was all over the house and grounds which is also wonderful. The pizza party was the best pizza we've ever had and was so much fun. Alberto started getting the wood fire hot four hours prior to the dinner and he and Camilla made sure everyone was happy as they served us countless types of slices. They even went very out of their way to accommodate a family member with a lactose allergy and two daughters that are vegetarian. If you like animals, you can visit their chicken coop that also has turkey and ducks, but best of all are a bunch of the sweetest cats that will come by your villa to say hello and their dog that will come by for some attention. We rented the entire main villa. Others have commented that the owners are on the property. They do, in fact, live in an area attached to the villa but we did not find them imposing on any level. There is also a smaller cottage that was rented out to another nice German family. They also shared access to the pool but we barely saw them and when we did it was very nice. In fact, we ended up choosing to all have dinner together for the pizza night. It's probably not the right place for a rowdy group, but for our family (my wife and myself, three teenage daughters, my parents and a family friend) looking to relax, enjoy local cuisine and cook a bit at the villa, relax by the pool, drink wine on one of the several incredible verandas overlooking the mountains and vineyards... we thought it was perfect! Oh... and Alberto's Chianti Classico is incredible. His 8 Euro bottle tastes like a $500 bottle in the US.
