17 of us recently stayed at the villa in Baciano. We rent a couple of houses each year for vacations and this is easily one of the best places we've stayed. The landscaping and views were breathtaking, the flowers were in bloom making the air smell wonderful. The pool was great, the towering trees provided shade over a good part of the large yard, making it cool to sit outside, even during the heat of the day. Inside the villa and accompanying apartment, there was plenty of room, well-appointed bathrooms, three kitchens, and comfortable bedrooms. Silvia, our contact for the property, offered to set up a traditional Tuscan dinner for us - if you go, you must do this: the food was excellent, the ambiance for the dinner, set up in the old olive press barn, was romantic, and the evening as a whole probably the best experience we had in Italy. The villa is additionally located off the tourist track (which is great), but still within easy driving distance of Florence, Sienna, Assisi, and other major Tuscan sites. Grocery stores and, more importantly, gelatoria are close by (less than 2 miles), making it easy to zip into town and pick up supplies. I can't stress enough how impressive the villa and grounds are
