Best Place to Stay In Tuscany
The description does not do it justice. The We plan to go back. Iacopo is a gem. He was so responsive. He helped prepare our meal as part of our cooking class, and he gave a great tour of the winery. Be sure to get up and visit the church at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday. It is worth it.

Great, spacious authentic castle
We were a group of 5 adult couples. Not all had private bathroom/shower (see their description). Still, this is a huge (!) place, with plenty of big living/dining/game rooms. The kitchen is small-ish but works. The building/castle is truly amazing, you will be impressed, and the grounds are beautiful. We were less impressed with housekeeping (just daily bed making, but no new linens all week, and fresh towels only upon request even if they were placed on the floor). Most of us weren't happy with the mattresses. A pre-stocked refridgerator for our late-pm arrival would have been nice (no such option) - that would be super helpful when arriving from long distance and have no idea where to buy what. Now, the castle is an authentic 1000 year-old building, and while all that is really special and impressive, don't expect window screens (big bugs find their way into the bedrooms), no modern plumbing, and showers and drains are so-so. So that's the trade-off. The location is amazing, quiet, hill-top with incredible Tuscan views - something you'll write home about! You feel like a king up there.There's a groundskeeper who's very helpful with where to go, what to see, etc. The nearest town is ~15 min by car, with a train-station (to get into Florence), a really big grocery store, plenty of small restaurents, etc. Really everything you need is there. Perhaps except for the bedrooms' non-biting bugs and the mattress quality, this is a spectacular place you'll not forget.

Tuscany Castle
Fantastic experience! Iacopa took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful setting and a great experience. Sitting outside either at the pool or at the tables was our favorite way to relax. We enjoyed their locally produced wine as well. Highly recommend.

Amazing Week in Tuscany
This place is beyond words and the people that run it are even better. They really care about your happiness. The chef that can come in and cook to the daily housekeeping services are beyond amazing. And you cannot forget Jacapo (not correct spelling) he is everything you can ask for in a property manager. His wine tour was nothing short of amazing and the history given was special. I would rebook this place in an instant. Thank you for everything!!!!

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
This is a place you learn to love. From the very beginning we begin to notice all the special things about it. Our first dinner was under the trees. The view of the rolling vineyards and olive trees made you want to cry. At 7:00 we heard our church bells and it gave us chills! The pool and grounds were amazing and beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed for meals. There were linens, dishes, etc for all meals. The “welcome fridge” was wonderful! We cannot say enough about this place. Patricia and Edwardo were wonderful hosts. Will definitely return!
