Overall:
Our experience was generally good.
Enjoyed Most:
The setting in a small Tuscan village.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The property was very cold and required heating whenever you were in the building.
Surrounding Area:
Proximity to main Tuscan cities nearby restaurants.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring any essentials for the kitchen unless the previous tenants have left things, you will need to buy.
Restaurants - try Trattoria Montalbino and Osteria Del'Ignorante in Lucardo.
Directions:
We did not use a GPS but one would be very useful. Even though the directions were very detailed, we could not find one of the turns even once we were familiar with the area.
Check In Out:
Alberto was very friendly and helpful.

Overall:
It was wonderful. Within driving distance of everything we wanted to see. We cooked our own meals more than we ate out. Gas and groceries were close. Two restaurants were withing walking distance.
Enjoyed Most:
The quiet. The private patio. The bathrooms and showers. Withing easy drive to many wonderful spots in Tuscany! When we got there, it was unseasonably cold. The Keyholder and manager got the okay for central heat and brought us wood for the fireplace.
Unpleasant Surprises:
When you were in the shower, you had to constantly adjust the hot water. There is a dog next door that does not like strangers, but within 2 days, he stopped barking at us.
Surrounding Area:
It is lovely. Calming and peaceful. Perfect haven after a vigorous touring day!
Nearby Events or Locales:
Montabino is the nearest town. With 2 eating places. You had to drive to get gas and groceries.
Tips or Restaurants:
Make sure you stop for gas and groceries BEFORE you get there. Also, remember many stores and gas stations are closed on Sunday. We used Sunday as a down time, walking close to the Villa and enjoying the quiet.
Directions:
We just used the directions. It was easy.
Check In Out:
The owner of the property came to meet us when we were leaving. I think she wanted to meet the 4 American women who were traveling Italy!!!!!!
