Your Tuscan dream come true!
Our stay here was more wonderful than we ever imagined. Monica is such a gracious host. She bought this home in ruins and transformed it into the most beautiful Tuscan oasis. Our apartment perfect for our family of 5. I was very concerned about lack of air conditioning as we were here during the heat of summer, but we ended up being very comfortable. The windows all have screens to protect from bugs so it is easy to open them and let in fresh night/morning air. The location was central to many lovely towns in Tuscany. We day-tripped easily to Florence, Siena, Volterra, and Lucca/Pisa from here. There are little grocery stores nearby to get supplies. We were also so lucky to experience Monica's amazing cooking. Since we were arriving late in the evening, Monica offered to prepare us dinner and breakfast the next morning. We arrived exhausted from a long day of driving...Not only were we served a four-course meal (the best food we ate our whole trip!) but we also got to drink Monica's own wine and home-made digestif made from fennel. The next morning she served us another delicious spread for breakfast. The pool was also a big hit with my kids. It is gorgeous and clean, atop a hill in the middle of an olive grove. Heaven! I only hope we can return some day.
