This property is a very nice way to spend some time in Tuscany. It is well situated near several notable hill towns (Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Bagno Vignoni, and Siena to name a few), keeping in mind that "near" in Tuscany parlance (i.e. you can see your intended destination from where you are), might still mean a 30-40 min drive to get there (windy roads, some unpaved). You MUST have a car. The dwelling is a well maintained farm house. It is not a castle. It is however charming and cozy and rustic and reasonably well appointed. The hot water is hot. We opened the windows at night and slept like the dead. The hosts live in the attached house next door. We didn't require much from them as I had been to the area before, but they were charming and helpful when needed, and responded to my email queries prior to our stay very quickly. The property is typical of the area. Situated near the top of a hill, with a sweeping view of the surrounding countryside. The outdoor space is comfortable, and we made breakfast every morning (the kitchen could accommodate a more elaborate meal as well) and ate outside under some nice tall trees while watching the morning light envelop the surrounding hills. There are far worse ways to start your day. Remember to get provisions for cooking and snacking while you're out, as there are no 7-Elevens nearby and ordering delivery is not a thing. The Conad in Montepulciano is a large supermarket and there are several smaller COOP supermarkets in the area as well. The pool is quite nice and would serve a larger party well, but we didn't have much time to use it. There is a barbeque grill and charcoal available, but we just had some wine and cheese while sitting outdoors. I highly recommend that very simple and peaceful activity to remind you why you came to Tuscany in the first place. Overall, a very nice and pleasant place to stay.
