Liked: Located in the middle of Tuscan vinyards. Because we were there in the off season, we were the only ones at the property. Wood burning stove in the appartment was cozy. Price was great.

Disliked: Because we were there in the off season, there were limited services, such as the restaurant and pool being closed.

Liked: The property is the perfect place to get away. It is a vineyard about 12 km north of Siena city center in the hills of Tuscany. The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us and was well kept with a rustic feel to it. The pool is nice and offers a great view of the surrounding hills.

Disliked: This property is hard to get to. I highly recommend renting a car to get around. There is a bus that runs near the property but it doesnt run often and requires you to change to another bus to get to Siena. Taxi rides to/from there run about 25€ EACH WAY. If you are looking to party this is definitely not the place for you.

Liked: this property was absolutely beautiful. there were so many areas to explore we were planning to travel into the city and ended up staying on the property for the entire day because of its beauty. If you do stay, you must star gaze!!!

Disliked: the distance from the city is both wonderful for beauty and some what inconvenient. but if you plan accordingly it is well worth it.

Liked: Great efficiency apartment in an awesome setting. Right in the middle of a vineyard estate on a hill with vineyards and olive trees stretching for miles around you. Laura, the receptionist, was great, pointing out travel tips in Siena and the area. The owners, Guido and Nobuko, were very friendly, helpful and kind. It's a great place to stay, and terrific value for the money. Definitely recommended.

Disliked: No negative comments.

Liked: It is a gorgeous property in the country side of Tuscany, very quiet and relaxing. The rooms are great, with space to cook and have a fire too. The staff were great, and looked after us with everything. As we were there in colder months we didn't use the pool, but during summer it would be awesome. I loved this place so much, and can't wait to go back.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Very relaxing place to experience Siena. Great owners that are more than willing to help. The wine is delicious! Would definitely stay there again. Only downside was the fact that it was pretty far outside the city, so I'd recommend a car for your stay. Other than that, it was wonderful!
