My husband and I arrived here on the Monday and our friends joined us on the Wednesday for a week . The details in the advertising were what sold us on booking here and sometimes you think well if its only half as good then it will be OK. But it was exactly what was advertised . Friendly gracious owners... More

The owners are some of the most generous and sweet people you will ever meet, and the place is fantastic, old, beautiful, and very near nice hiking in an uncrowded setting. My mom and I loved it.

We stayed 5 days relaxing after a week in Venice and Florence. Following directions from Siena on the owner’s site we had a good laugh at “eye-catching indication Comune... More

From the moment you walk around the village and Borgo Rapale you know that you are not in Kansas anymore (or the busy streets of Rome where we had just spent the previous 3 days).
