Stefano & Roberta are wonderful hosts. the Villa we stayed in (1 of 2) was spotlessly clean and, for the self caterer, had every possible piece of kitchen utensil necessary! Very spacious! The surroundings are peaceful and serene, overlooking the Tuscan countryside. (some might say isolated! But we loved it!) We saw a magical display of fireflies every night, absolutely amazing! It is 10 -15kms from Volterra (get groceries in Volterra first) 2 Kms of manageable country/dirt road. we had day trips to Volterra, San Gimignano, Monteriggione ( including a medieval festival) Sienna and Teatro di Silenzio! Plenty of vino and olio tasting too! There is plenty of room for children to run around and have fun in nature!! Overall, we had a fantastic 5 nights at Podere Grignano! Would love to return!
