Overall: This was a beautiful property and location. It was amazing and an experience to be remembered forever. Enjoyed Most: The view and the rustic atmosphere were superb, and the wine-tasting/castle tour was wonderful. The caretakers and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Additionally, the location was perfect for all of our day trips. We were able to see San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, Greve, Radda and Florence with no more than an hour's drive (at the most). Enjoyed Least: There were some annoying bugs...but this is hard to avoid in a rustic dwelling. Surrounding Area: I don't know where to start. San Casciano was an inviting and charming nearby town. We loved the restaurant Cantinetta della'Nonna that was there. But the property is not far from any of the wonderful Tuscan towns. Nearby Events or Locales: San Casciano was the town that we were familiar with. It's about 5 minutes away driving, not walkable. Tips or Restaurants: The caretakers of the estate provide an excellent booklet of information that includes recommendations for restaurants.
