Better than the pictures
As charming as this property looks, it actually is even better in person. I’m not normally a review writer but in this case my family and I really want to commend Samanta and Franco for the amazing property they are building.
They were incredibly accommodating for our multigenerational family (including our 2 year old daughter), going above and beyond to make it feel like a home during our stay.
The lodging itself strikes a really nice balance by being rustic in ways that let you appreciate the history of the region while also having great creature comforts in the form of central air, modern bathrooms, and a renovated kitchen.
The location is ideal for day trips in the region (Siena, Florence, etc), the views are stunning, and they are producing a lovely Chianti + EVOO on their land. We just ordered a case to be shipped home after our stay; it was much better for our tastes than the highly rated Fonterutoli, which is nearby.
The road leading up to their property is quite a long dirt one, so I’d advise renting an SUV, but once you’re there it’s breathtaking.
