We spent 4 nights in June 2017 travelling as a couple and had one of the most memorable stays of our entire month in Italy. The hotel and surrounds have authenticity, charm and history. Our room (Room 27) was tastefully decorate with period furnishings and being a corner room had delightful views of Panzano and the tuscan hills. We had a hire car which is highly recommended to get the most out of exploring Tuscany. It was very hot (30-33 celcius) during our stay, however, the pool that picks up the afternoon sun was a perfect place to relx and cool off. The evenings cooled quickly and opening up our room made it very comfortable (our room did not have air conditioning like most authentic italian villas and is not needed). I could not speak more highly of the staff - Lara upon arrival helping us settle and providing us with ideas for the coming days, Elise in the evenings to organise drinks, dinner and activities, Francesco the chef with his authentic tuscan cooking and patience with a wonderful cooking class and all the other staff too! We could not fault our stay...was a tremendous experience. We will absolutely be recommending to all and will definately return.
