A memorable stay to cherish forever
We were a group of two families and a total of 8 visiting the property in mid June. We drove from Florence and were hoping for something nice and spend few days. However, when we arrived at the property, the serene landscape, the plantation inside and around the premise, the topography, and the natural beauty were breathtaking. The house was very well maintained and had everything that you need to sustain for a group of 8 people with kids. Rooms are spacious and very well maintained. The yard, flowers and plants, the infinity pool, night lighting - everything is impeccable. But above all is the service and friendliness of the caretaker that made us all feel more than home. His warmth and helpfulness will always be remembered. This is definitely a 5 star place and I highly recommend to those who want to venture out a little further from busy metropolis like Florence or Rome.
