Overall: This was the second week of our honeymoon, and we could not have made a better choice. Enjoyed Most: The views of the surrounding hillsides, villas and vineyards were spectacular. The family -- Sandra, Nicola, Carla and Riccardo -- were wonderful and accommodating. Carla helped us with restaurant selections and reservations as well as directions to lesser know areas to explore. We took advantage of all three dinners served during the week, and they were wonderful... I would not miss this opportunity. Enjoyed Least: We loved the property and will definitely go back. From our point of view, it was unfortunate that we were there on a week with several families with young children who could be a bit noisy. This was a minor annoyance, however. If quiet is a concern, I would recommend an apartment with an outside door, since the hallways tended to magnify the noise when families were coming and going. Surrounding Area: We hiked every day and found that walking was a much better way than driving to see the countryside. Sandra told us that we could go anywhere among the surrounding vineyards, so we hiked up and down the hills... great exercise! Nearby Events or Locales: San Gimignano is a short drive and a long walk away. The views of the town as you walk toward it are amazing! Tips or Restaurants: The Pam in Poggibonsi is handy and well-stocked. Be aware that a Euro must be deposited in order to release the shopping cart. It is returned when you re-secure the cart. Also, it is customary to use the plastic gloves provided when handling the produce. You weigh the produce yourself, ing the item from a screen that is keyed by number to the point of sale areas.Restaurants were plentiful. We enjoyed Chiribiri in SG... small and inexpensive with wonderful local food and very friendly service. Dorando, also in SG, was among the best retaurants we encountered on our trip whch included Venice and Lake Garda... the food was superb in terms of quality, preparation and presentation, the service extremely professional, and the atmosphere elegant but comfortable. L'Antica Trattoria in Colle Val d'Elsa also was excellent... though pricey and not quite as friendly and comfortable as Dorando. Directions: The directions provided were perfect. The winestand is a very helpful landmark. Check In Out: The check-in and check-out process went very quickly and efficiently. The staff handles the baggage each way as both a courtesy and to preserve the beautiful paint jobs in the hallways.
