"I'm not sure we all--we were two couples--had an exact sense of the complex, though the nature of it is definitely implied by the long Vrbo description: a restored, historic borough (mentioned, we learned, in some document, perhaps a map, at the Vatican) and on an unpaved road, which is always in need of grading, that was once a "salt road"--a renovated series of stone and brick buildings consisting of apartments with an international ownership. It's very secluded, with lovely views of the countryside, and quiet. There's a nice swimming pool close by. You can unload and load your car at the property; otherwise, you park in a lot a short distance away. The accommodation itself is self-catering, of course, with whatever provisions are there (including toilet paper) depending on the generosity of the preceding occupants. There are two types of coffee makers in addition to a kettle. I mention these items as they were the most immediately essential to me. As I said, we were four adults (late 60s-early 70s)--the apartment was perfectly adequate for our week-long stay; it was comfortably furnished. Gordon was very helpful beforehand, promptly answering questions about provisions and recommending grocery stores and a nearby restaurant for our first night's dinner. He also graciously put us in touch with another owner whose time there was coinciding with ours. Really, I don't know how things could have been better. "

"Claudio the owner was very friendly and accommodating. The entire staff made us feel warm and welcome. The property was beautifully situated in the Tuscan hills. We had two dinners at their restaurant. Both were exceptionally delicious. We were fortunate to be there during grape harvesting and to also enjoy some of the best Chianti wine I have ever tasted. I would highly recommend Agriturismo Streda to anyone wanting to tour Tuscany!"
