Hotel stay
Best hotel we've been to!
Location shows countless views of Tuscan countryside. Estate is beautiful with many gardens and greenery. Many amenities to enjoy time. They were very accommodating to my family with small children. The staff seemed to know us on a more personal level from even the time we got in. Our room was amazing with a lot of Tuscan charm. It was great value. Can't wait to come back!
