"Exceptional views from this property.
The room was for 4. It had a rustic farm house vibe.
Unfortunately there was mold in the bathroom and a nest of spiders in the beams above the bed (which my husband was happy to sleep under - so we ignored).
There is no noise insulation between floors and you can hear other guests above you, but everyone was respectful and noise minimal.
The spare blankets in the cupboard needed a wash and were unusable. Otherwise room was clean and comfortable.
The infinity pool was great and generally quiet creating a relaxing atmosphere.
You need a car if you stay in one of the annexes otherwise you would have to walk up a hill.
We had access to a balcony and a common area. The kitchen was accessible but you are not allowed to use unless you book an apartment.)
Breakfast was very good and the terrace is amazing.
We only had interaction with two staff members. One was lovely, friendly and helpful. The other was the complete opposite, which ruined some of the shine.
Overall lovely place to stay, fantastic grounds and we will definitely try and visit again!"
"This is a beautiful, peaceful place to stay in Tuscany. The rooms are spacious, and ours overlooked the gardens. The furniture in our room was all antique, so the chairs weren’t very comfortable, but out on the balconies there are much comfier places to sit during the day. The gardens are great to explore and the balconies are perfect to spend a morning reading. The restaurant is delicious, we ate there three out of four nights on our honeymoon. Staff were friendly and helpful in booking us an excursion. We rented an electric car and they had two electric charging stations about a 2 minute walk down the road with a lot of free parking. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to a central base for day trips out to the cities in Tuscany, or for anyone who wants a magical stay in the country."

"This is truly my favorite place in the world—peaceful, beautiful, and filled with the kindest staff. I’m so glad we found it. I didn’t want to leave and joked with my family that I might just run away and stay forever. The location and scenery are absolutely stunning. We enjoyed fantastic meals during our stay—even though the Michelin-starred restaurant wasn’t open, the other dining options were exceptional."
"Service and location were fabulous! Felt like a home, away from home. Would definitely go back. I would suggest taking your own hairdryer and a wash cloth. "
