The property is very nice and rustic, a converted farmhouse with various outbuildings. We stayed in the first floor apartment which is at the top of a lovely stone staircase and next door to Elena, a member of the family which owns the property, and who is also the property manager living on site. We also had use of the nice terrace which was outside the door to the apartment at the top of the steps. The apartment was pretty large for a one-bedroom property, with stone tile floors throughout, high wooden beam ceilings and wooden windows with matching shutters. Plenty of storage for clothes and holiday knick knacks, everything was clean and worked as it should. The bed was probably the hardest either of us have ever slept in - the only slightly negative thing I have to say about the apartment but things like that are arguably a matter of personal choice.
The pool (which looks very new) and surrounding area are really appealing and comfortable, plenty of good quality sun loungers and deckchairs, lovely views of fields and rolling hills on three sides. The fourth direction is less rural than is/was perhaps expected as the property is on the edge of town and a new-ish looking housing estate has crept up to what is probably the border of the land on which this property sits. The houses are visible through the trees which slightly mars the rural feel but I didn't find that to be particularly intrusive. The imposing electric gates and slight climb along the gravel driveway of circa 100-150 yards do further add to the feeling of being separated from the houses but there is naturally some feeling of not being completely remote. One benefit of being so close to the town is that the local supermarket (one of the best we have visited during various holidays in Southern Europe) is around a 3 minute drive from the property.
Elena (whose English is excellent, putting shame to my smattering of Italian words and phrases!) is lovely, welcoming and helpful without being at all intrusive. There were various leaflets and business cards in the apartment although it might be helpful to have a small folder containing some local information such as; where the supermarket and bakery are, restaurants/bars the family recommend, what to do with your rubbish bags etc. These are all questions you can ask of course, and we did, but we have in the past found that sort of 'local info' folder helpful - if nothing else Elena wouldn't have to keep answering the same questions over and over again to each new set of guests!
The property is well located for various tourist-type opportunities, Siena is around 25 minutes by car, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Montecino and other hill-towns are all within an hour's easy drive. Florence is also do-able from here, butt sadly we didn't have time during our all-too-short week.
There is also a lovely friendly cat in residence!
Overall a good place to be for a week in this area.
