We stayed here recently for a Valentine Day treat for my wife. The villa is beautiful. Even in late February we will able to sit in the courtyard and enjoy lunch with the amazing view of the rolling hills and in the afternoon in the garden under the pergola. The villa is well appointed with an excellent kitchen and pantry and the owner had left us a lovely bottle of tuscan wine from Montalcino to enjoy on arrival. The estate is so quiet and tranquil, we hope to return in the summer to take advantage of the pool! A special mention of Barrie and Julie who could not be more accommodating arranging a trips to a local vinyard and a some excellent day trip suggestions including Siena where we ate at Le Logge, which is the best dining experience we have had the pleasure to enjoy in all our years of travel to Italy plus the beauiful spa village close to Buonconvento, Bagno Vignoni where we warmed our feet in the roman spring! The village of Buonconvento is a jewel! The people were so welcoming and there really was everything you need for a countryside escape that we didnt need to venture further afield for supplies. The village had a lovely buzz to it and was not in any way touristy like some of the other more well known villages which whilst attractive like Buonconvento, seemed to be more set up for tourists. At night we walked to the local hotel for dinner and drinks on the terrace or a little bit further up the hill to the TNT pub which serves excellent pasta and pizza. I would definitely recommend the home to friends and are sure to return.
