We rented this lovely apartment in a very central location to the Southern towns of Tuscany. The building was very new with an old, farmhouse style design. The kitchen was small and convenient, we also had access to a larger kitchen and a grill in the common area. I can't forget to mention that we were also able to use the property washing machine and drying racks, soap provided. Our host was friendly and gracious, sharing the family garden goodies, checking that we had all we needed.
Elena also gave great direction on things to do, places to visit, wineries for wine tasting and had scenic road trips mapped out. We had considered attending the Palio horse race in Siena, but were concerned about the crowds. She gave us great advice and we instead, attended a pre-race in the morning and spent a less crowded time in Siena during the day. We also went to the Fanti Brunello winery in Montalcino, had a fantastic wine and olive oil tasting and left with some lovely wine to savor. The last day we took a road trip to Pienza, had a great lunch in the garden of La Terrazza overlooking the countryside, later strolling through the small town which was the summer of home of Pope Pius II.
This rental was a great value.
