This is the second time that we have enjoyed a stay at this location. Alessandro has continued to work on his property and it is even more beautiful that when we saw it a few years ago. The passion that he holds for what has been in his family for generations is evident. The rooms are well appointed, meticulously clean and spacious. He provides a wonderful breakfast and if your’e really lucky he will make dinner for you as well. The location is within easy access to San Gimignano, Pisa etc. but located in a quiet, beautiful area. Alessandro is warm, accessible and seems to be fluent in quite a few languages! This is absolutely one of our favourite places to stay in Italy.
