This was the perfect place to stay in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I originally thought my husband and I would take day trips, but we never went farther than a 20-minute drive away, electing instead to simply walk to nearby Montefollonico and Montepulciano, run on the local roads, and most often, just hang out at the villa. It was so peaceful just to pull up lawn chairs on the front lawn, enjoy the views and use our binoculars to spot occasional wildlife in the valley below. The views are spectacular, both inside and out! I fell in love with the villa itself - so warm, charming and well appointed with more than enough kitchen supplies to cook up a simple dinner (inspired by the cooking class I took). The host and caretaker were so friendly and helpful, and we loved the very friendly cats!
