    The bathroom was a bit smelly which could sometimes be annoying in the room.

    The property is situated in the outskirts of Siena. This means you have beautiful scenery and a feeling of being in nature. You can wake up early in the morning and have a chance of seeing various animals; squirrels, deer, birds... The room/bed was comfortable and spacious.

    .

    The location of Agroturismo is perfect for one-day trips around Tuscany. Within 1-2 hours you can get to Florence, Siena-Monteriggiano-San Gimignano- Volterra or Pienza-Montepulcciano. The place is very convenient, has a swimming pool and a really well kept garden. The closest little town is around 3 km from Agroturismo and it offers some small restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy, etc. The Owner was very friendly and helpful. There was an option to buy the breakfast.

    We were sad to learn that the wonderful rustic suppers we had enjoyed before, were no longer available as staff had changed. The bathrooms could benefit from a bit of updating and the bed was a tadge firm.

    We stayed here in 2019, so knew the layout of the estate. This is a historic C15th farmhouse (divided into apartments) in stunning grounds, complete with a beautiful, landscaped pool area. Agritourism means it is part of a working farm, but it is exceptionally quiet and peaceful. We were hoping for the same apartment (No 1) as before but this was not conveyed to the host and was not ready for us. We were given another. (No 5) it was beautiful, rustic and yet pretty. The bedroom was large and airy, with a huge wardrobe. We grew to love it. For a couple of days we were the only guests there, it felt simply wonderful having it all to ourselves. The whole place is spotless and very well cared for and offers stunning views in every direction. It is so photogenic. Tony the owner is lovely as is his new assistant.

    It was unusually cold and rainy during our stay. Although the unpredictable weather was not our host's fault we were told that the city has a regulation against heating from April and we didn't want to go again the regulation so our stay was very cold and damp. We just wished our stay could have been warm and toasty. It is a very old building so we found it to be a bit dusty.

    The scenery of the location is beautiful. The hosts were very sweet and welcoming. It was equipped with everything we needed it although we didn't have the breakfast, you can request for breakfast with small additional fee. There is spacious parking spot, pool also available for warmer days. We will definitely return with friends and family in the future for warmer days.

    Nothing major. Extensible sofa was not that comfortable but we ended up using only the bed in the bedroom.

    The space, gardens, and views around us were beautiful. Good for kids to explore. By car you can be in Siena in 10 minutes which is really nice.

    The kitchen wasn’t equipped very well (no wine glasses, no cereal bowls, no sharp knives)

    The Agriturismo was perfectly located. The area was very quiet and perfect for relaxation in the tuscan countryside and it was only 10 minutes away from Siena. The apartment had a beautiful tuscan flair which we liked a lot. The beds were spacious and comfortable and the bedroom had a beautiful view at the olive trees. The property was huge (garden, pool area). The pool area was clean and provided enough sunbeds and umbrellas. The breakfast was super delicious. They provided a selection of breads, cakes, croissants, jams, butter, fruit, various juices and coffee. Great deal for the price.

    We booked a room because of the Toscan rural environment. However when we arrived we were informed that the place is overbooked and we were given an appartment about 5min drive away. Certainly we got a bigger accomodation for the money but unfortunatelly not in the desired environment.

    The appartment was large with big equipped kitchen, washing machine, functional heating. It was clean and Rosy (the owner) was really nice and helpful showing us around. She also cooks the dinner for guests so we'd definitely recommend to go for the dinner :)

    The only downside for us where the enormous amounts of mosquitoes (mid-September). This is nothing Tony or the staff could do anything about. It's just something to prepare for. Lavender seems to help ;)

    The location is perfect. All of the hotspots of Tuscany are within 1 hour drive and beautiful Siena 10 minute drive. The staff is very friendly and gives you tips to visit in the area. There is also the option to have dinner on the farm itself, prepared by the staff and it is delicious!

    We had an issue with the wrong apartment, the owner fixed it promptly and we were very happy with our stay. We recommend to book the larger apartments in the house near the pool - they have more comfortable beds, wifi and are far from the street.

    Beautiful location in the Tuscany countryside close to Siena, charming old farm, nice rustic apartments. We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant.

    Host was horrible, I was texting about the check in instructions, announced my arrival time and when I came no one was there and we were in the middle of nowhere. Morning after she yelled at us and tried to keep our passports so we can't leave the property, horrible experience. It said that breakfast was included, there was no breakfast, also pool wasn't functioning. The house is okay but for this money you can rent something where people will be there so you can check in and where they won't try to keep your personal document, few hours before your flight back...

    When I booked I liked the nature around the house and that remained the only thing good there.

    The surroundings entering the property were like taken from a movie...breathtaking! Alexandra was very friendly and helpful with tips and local information. The apartment was spacious, a bit old-fashioned, but we loved every minute we spent there. There is plenty of space outside to explore. We stayed at the end of Oct so the weather was changing already. As the property is on the high hill, you can see the picturesque panorama of the region. Everything is close by: Pienza, Val'd'orcia, natural pools.

    We were alone in the whole place which could have been nice but the pool was not usable, no food available which is a disappointment for an agriturismo place, the place was not very clean and the absolute bare minimum in the kitchen. There is an oven but no oven dish so basically you can't use it. We were put in an accommodation by the road as the main one wasn't available. None of this was mentioned on the booking site when we booked. I think the place could be amazing in season, when the staff is actually there to look after you, the pool is open and food is available.

    The surroundings are amazing, typical Tuscan landscape. The bed was comfortable.

    Room was only 8 metres from road - very noisy. No air conditioning. Shower water leaked into bathroom floor. Fridge recessed into silly little alcove, required bending over to access (be careful not to bang your head). Hard bed will suit some. Nil utensils or plates of any kind, not even 'cup of tea' facilities. I notified Owner (via Booking.com message) I would be bringing my trained, jacketed Assistance Dog - he claims not to have received that, and was dismissive of my explanation about the animal's training level and purpose (I accept that the mental health support animals category is NOT legally recognised in Italy).

    Plenty of hot water. Owner provided an electric fan on request (due very hot weather). Parking next to room. Helpful regional information offered by Owner.
