Beautiful property, but be aware..
Liked:
* Well appointed, clean, and beautiful home with gorgeous views and gardens
* Central location to visit Florence, Arezzo and Sienna
* Firm, yet comfortable and spacious beds
* Responsive host (Mauro)
* Nice neighbor in adjoining home
* Charming village below
Be aware:
* Advertised hot tub is not hot, rather there is a "refreshing cool whirlpool spa" for summertime.
* Parking spot (not a garage) is at the top of the hill above the house. A set of 12 very deep (~4ft.) wood and gravel steps lead down to the house.
* The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor above the (main) ground floor where the kitchen, dining and living rooms are.
* Stairs leading to first floor are uneven, steep and shallow.
* The driveway from the main mountain road to the parking spot is gravel and dirt, and rutted with deep washouts that scraped our rental SUV each time we drove in and out
* Roosters and/or hunters' gunshots awoke us most mornings
This charming, rustic, clean, well-appointed home was a visual delight, and might be perfect for the spry, but we were not as relaxed as desired due to the challenges of the roads, stairs, early morning noise, and not having our desired hot tub to soak in at night after our long days of discovering Tuscany. If we had known about the tub not being heated before it was too late for a refund, we would have chosen elsewhere.
