Wow! What a location. We had a 12 night stay early July 2024. The pool is great. The apartments down at the little village make for an interesting community of fellow travelers. And close to the lovely hill town of Montespertoli for supplies. The wine tour, which is part of the stay, just caps it of perfectly.

First of all, the welcome at the farm was warm and full of attention. Our apartment at the Farm was fit for a real couple. Waking up in the morning is a dream: the mountain panorama, the farm garden. The visit to the 1595 winery and the tasting should not be missed. The wines we bought were excellent, as was the oil. The restaurant is very close and has local cuisine and wines from the estate. Thank you Monica for making us feel pampered.

A wonderful location! The Lo Spigo restaurant is right nearby, where you will receive a warm welcome even without a table reservation. The holiday apartment offers plenty of space and exudes Italian flair. The wine and olive oil are of the highest quality, and the host Monika is very friendly and welcoming. Our stay with the dog was simply ideal.
