  : The place is well located on the hills of Tuscany with lovely views from the nice rustic room. The big infinity pool overlooking the valley is lovely. There are some walking/hiking routes from the hotel which allow you to enjoy the area without much driving. Restaurant was OK with good meat dishes and Davide (the waiter) was helpful too. Team was helpful with a late check in, taxi bookings and printing some documents which we really appreciated, BUT...
  : We were not informed in advance that a wedding will be taking place at the venue during our stay which meant no access to the key amenities: the restaurant and the pool. We found out about the event upon our return from a wine tasting tour when one of the receptionists approached us a few meters from the door saying that we MUST head to our rooms right now and stay there for the next hour. No explanation, apology, food alternatives, taxis or compensation was offered at the time or after this event. As our room was not equipped with a kitchen, we were forced to look for food alternatives at short notice on a Saturday evening which was not possible (with all nearby restaurants already fully booked) and walking to a shop was not possible either as the nearest town was a few kms away. To top it all off, noise from the wedding got worse with a huge and loud firework display around midnight followed by noise from drunk guests going back to their rooms until 3AM (rooms have good thick walls but windows and doors are paper thin). On Friday and Sunday the restaurant held other large parties/events which is not in line with a tranquil agroturismo setting we were expecting. Overall the stay was tainted with feeling unwelcome and noise which considering the price is far from acceptable. This venue should have been privatised for the weddings and not open to bookings which includes booking.com! Even though we did get a refund for the one night after a long negotiation, I would not recommend the stay there.

  : The location was really stunning and we received good service from staff.
  : We were not informed about a wedding being held at the premises during our stay which meant that we didnt have the opportunity to use the swimming pool nor the restaurant. Booking didnt advice that the restaurant was closed on Mondays. We were looking forward to taste the local produces of the agriturismo, and had no chance to do so during our stay. Knowing all of the above we would have probably picked a different place for our stop over.

  : The property is in a stunning location and has an amazing restaurant on site serving delicious food. Th on-site pool also looks great although we didnt get to use it due to rain.
  : The family room we stayed in has absolutely zero sound proofing. We could hear every move our neighbour made and it sounded like we were sleeping in their bathroom. Unfortunately our neighbour liked to flush their toilet a lot in the night and it sounded like it was right next to our heads. Opening and closing of their shower and use of hair dryer all sounded as though they were done right next to our heads. The beds were also incredibly uncomfortable. The single bed in the room is set within a metal frame that made a clanging noise every time my child moved in the night and sloped toward the side he moved to - he actually fell out of bed onto the floor in the night it was that bad. The double bed was equally uncomfortable- I tried sleeping on top of the duvet for some extra padding but even with that it still felt like sleeping on a rock. In addition, the claims of internet at the property are misleading in that it is wired internet meaning there is no internet signal you can tap into at all & no plugs (that anyone uses in this century) to plug into, so essentially there is no internet.

  : Everything ok, I would only give some water or cola in mini bar/room, we were very thirsty and couldnt drink anything but water from our bathroom.

  : the views are amazing and staff was very very nice!
  : the heat didnt work in any of our rooms. They did give us a few space heaters but it was still very cold to sleep. Beds are ROCK hard and not comfy pillows. listing said two bedrooms but it was just a bedroom then a pull out couch. lighting was very dim and hard to do makeup. lights kept flickering bc we had the space heaters going. its like doing makeup in candlelight. The breakfast was great!
