Overall:
A quiet, peaceful haven of our own from which to explore Tuscany.
Enjoyed Most:
This is the perfect romantic little spot for two people with a rental car. We enjoyed the wonderful views from every window and fixed simple meals to enjoy outside with local wine.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing - we loved it all!
Surrounding Area:
Conveniently located to Siena and many Tuscan hill towns. Also a short drive to Florence and a longer drive to Cinque Terre.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The village is called Ville de Corsano, about a 15 minute walk to the center and perfect to get a cappucino, mail a postcard, or pick up some needed supplies. The walk home after dark with fireflies in the olive trees and the vision of the lighted church to beckon us home was lovely.
Tips or Restaurants:
The rental is furnished with nice bedding and towels, but you need to bring laundry soap, dish soap, shampoo, etc. The restaurant in town, Osteria, has great food (the best pizza I've ever tasted) and many other great dishes. Also, meet the guy in town who bottles his own wine and olive oil; he has a sign and you can visit his Etruscan caves!
Check In Out:
Guillano doesn't speak much English, but we were able to manage with sign language and smiles. He is very helpful when needed, but left us to enjoy the privacy of our own place too.

Overall:
The survey may not impart this, but the house, surrounding area, and overall stay was awesome. We were very pleased with the house, the property manager, and most everything about the place. It's very nice after moving around Italy for a long time to stop and make a few meals at our own property, and to relax. The manager and his family, by the way, are very accommodating and responded to all requests for wood for a fire, laundry use, more heat - with attention and a great attitude.
Enjoyed Most:
The location and resulting scenery was unbelievable. In a small, out of the way village with rolling vineyards, etc. And still able to see Siena in the distance.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Not too much to complain about - everything excellent. The heat, however, was almost nonexistent the first night. After talking with property manager this was corrected, with apologies, for the remaining nights.
Surrounding Area:
Everything. Especially all of the thermal baths hot springs in Southern Tuscany.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Ville Corsano was a very short drive and is a very nice small town with small market and restaurant. The nearest town of note was Monteroni D'Arbia which is a 5 minute drive and contained a nice Coop supermarket to supply the house.
Tips or Restaurants:
Buy food at the Coop in Monteroni before checking in on Saturday or things will be closed. Bring an audio setup or laptop if you want electronic entertainment.
Directions:
Not so much for the property, but for directions when driving around Tuscany, always check your maps. Signs are abundant which point to a relevant town in different directions - both may be right but you may end up going a very long, slow way.
Check In Out:
Property manager very helpful - excellent.

Overall:
It appears that the proprietors are working on an area outside which looks like it could be a patio for the villa, if they are and it is that, than that is all this great little gem could use.
Enjoyed Most:
The area was very good, close but not too close to many lovely villages, Siena was 10 minutes away. The historic church beside us was very lovely and added to the overall atmosphere. The villa itself was really delightful, small, and perfect for two people. The proprietors have been very thoughtful in their outfitting of the villa. They spoke no English and though helpful, I think tried to pretend we were not there, which is good and bad. There was great hiking just up the road and we discovered an old stone building and walled area in the woods that has very curious - could it be an old castle wall?
Unpleasant Surprises:
The outside area for us was the only weakness to the property, though having the church beside us was neat. The area for sitting outside was a very small area and not all the interesting.
Surrounding Area:
Great jumping-off point to see Central Tuscany, interesting and beautiful scenery.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Ville De Corsano is the nearest town with a great restaurant.
Tips or Restaurants:
We read your suggestions and they were helpful, The property so well equipped - even a shoe shine kit - that we really had everything we could want.
