We spent two weeks at Sant'Antonio (10/1/11-10/15/11). Wonderful place. Very relaxing, peaceful environment. Loved the olive trees and the view. 800 year old buildings are beautiful and very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints. Will definately return next year. Nico is extremely knowledgable about the region and very helpful in helping to plan day trips to the surrounding areas.

After weeks of searching properties all over Italy, Greece and Corsica, I am sure we found the best place to relax and unwind. Sant Antonio is the perfect Tuscan retreat for a couple (or a group of friends), quiet but social - we had the opportunity to socialise with other guests (almost all of them were return guests!) and made new friends; secluded but well positioned - just moments outside of Montepulciano and many 'off the map' little villages to explore; great facilities - lazing around the pool surrounded by olive trees and spectacular views was so special; and first class service.

Nico's friendly advice and recommendations made our trip 6*, we loved every restaurant, wine tour and village suggestion. We were able to truly relax knowing someone had it covered.

It was an added bonus that Nico was also able to cater to our training needs (we are training for the New York Marathon 2011). The 'short' 8 mile hill run was a challenge to say the least, it made all of our 13 mile Richmond Park (London) runs seem like child's play!

We will be back, hopefully with some family and friends as well. It was so much more than we could have hoped for, and that is rare. Thank you!!!!

We visited Santantonio the second week of august for the first time. I have visted Tuscany before but never stayed in a place quite like this. The buiding itself and the grounds were very impressive and the pool area was a fantasic place to unwind in, just what we needed. I travelled with my partner and we had a great week. My personal highlights were - The appartment itself which although attached to others, felt very private and was very quiet. The other people who were staying at the same time, Many who had stayed before and gave us lots of advice of where to eat, where to visit etc. Finally Nico - What a host! I will definatley be booking for next year.

We absolutely loved this place. Nico was fantastic in offering advice about places to visit locally which meant we found some hidden gems.

The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We stayed in Apt 5 (the cottage) which was really comfortable and homely. The bed was excellent and the only thing that interfered with our sleep was a group of kids staying on the property with their families (otherwise we'd have rated sleep 'excellent' too). If you're a couple, I'd advise travelling outside the European school holiday dates as this is a very popular destination for families.

We would definitely return and highly recommend Sant' Antonio.
