Decent stay in quaint, untouristed village
A few words first about Bibbona: it's an absolutely lovely, little medieval village, but note it has very little tourist infrastructure: every restaurant we saw would close during lunch hours (@noon to 4), there's no market there to buy essentials, and you must drive 15-20 minutes to get to a grocery store. Nearby Volterra or Bolgheri were both quaint and more visitor friendly in my opinion. Overall the house was as described but the owners' home is much closer than we thought from the pictures - not a problem for us though as we never saw them except the day we arrived. The host sent some messages about places to visit, and we received tomatoes and a small bottle of oil made from their property, which were nice. But giving little less than 5 stars because the home was very leanly stocked with basic essentials (toilet paper, soap, towels, trash bags etc.), which made our stay uncomfortable. Additionally, there seemed to be lots of dust in the home which triggered my allergies terribly.
