Guest comments
Quality Villa - We were extremely fortunate to have found this beautifully restored farmhouse for our short stay in Siena last August. The quality, cleanliness and comfort of the accomodation are second to none. You will not be disappointed. Thanks to Enzo and Liliana. You were perfect hosts. Simon, Emma and Girls. Chichester, W.Sussex. U.K. August 2007

Our favorite Place in Tuscany - Our weeklong experience in the villa was most enjoyable and wonderful. The beautiful original architecture of the farmhouse, and the way it was restored, made it a most comfortable and welcoming place to stay. The views from the place were spectacular and grounds were so well cared for and presented an environment for relaxing. The modern kitchen appliances, clothes washer, cable TV, and radio made life so easy for us during our stay. The beautiful bedrooms, modern bathrooms, sitting rooms and two fireplaces were such an unexpected attraction. Ed & Roseann Roseville, California. June 2007
