A wonderful holiday that didn't disappoint. Super hotel in a wonderful, peaceful location with magnificent views. Better than their website, much more intimate. We found the staff excellent, genuinely friendly and helpful. It is a very rural location that you do need a car to get up to, however it is well signposted from the main roads. The pool set on the hill side is superb & has magnificent views, but you need to be reasonably fit to get back up to the hotel (steep steps or steep slope) The restaurant food was extremely good, fine dining style, they also offered well priced 3/4 course set price menus. Our room set in the main house was spacious, but rather dark, due to thickness of the walls around window, but the space, and the fact we had our own access from outside made up for it. This hotel is set in a lovely part of Tuscany, from which you can venture by car across the valley and up into the mountains (yes, mountains, albeit not large ones, definitely not hills) and discover fantastic scenery and wonderful mountain villages (lots of windy roads with quite big drops). We also visited Florence really easily from this hotel by dropping down to the local village, where you can park your car for free, hop on a regular train service straight into the centre of Florence. We also found it easy to access the main Motorway (20 mins) to visit Sienna and Cortona for the day. We would definitely consider returning to this area to discover more and definitely to this hotel
