Changeover day
Preferred changeover day is Saturday. Arrive after 15:00 hours - depart 10:00 hours. However, we are flexible and sometimes we are able to accommodate our guests starting on different days .
Notes on accommodation
All cottages have gas central heating for the cold winter nights, although, even in late november it can be warm enough not to need heating. Of course, for the off-season guest, as Santa Cristina is in the heart of the forest, there is plenty of wood to burn to enjoy a cosy fireside evening with a glass of local wine and a good book.
Outside
The large pool is shared by the other holidaymakers and is attended each day by the estate gardienne. The grounds of the castle are well tended and you can play tennis, football, volleyball or take a trip in an off-road jeep. There are stables with 10 horses attended by a qualified riding instructor who will happily give lessons or for experienced riders organise treks for couple of hours or all day with a picnic by the lake.
There are many walks and not too far away is a lake that makes for a quiet and peacful place to while away an hour or two, in the evening sunshine, before dinner.
Coast/Beach
There are safe, unspoilt comfortable and attractive beaches very nearby with lakeside restaurants, boating and water sports - just 8 kilometres away - all around the very large freshwater lake Bolsena. If you prefer a beach by the sea then you will find the best beaches about 45 minutes drive through the attractive Tuscan countryside to the very attractive Capalbio beach on the Med where the inhabitants of Rome prefer to spend their leisure time by the sea.
Golf
There is a small par 3 18 holes golf course only 10 min drive and a rather grand 18 hole course about an hour and a quarters drive.
Skiing
Skiing can be an option only in February .Monte Amiata is 45 km away .

Hi Antonio We had a fantastic holiday and found everything so relaxing. I would appreciate it if when you get back from Italy that you can contact me so that we can book 2 weeks for next year! Martin Bagley
Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Santa Christina. A beautiful location, excellent facilities and very comfortable accommodation. The pool was a real plus point especially as we were blessed with such good weather. We had a wonderful time during our stay in Italy.
Bob, I would like to thank you for your help and assistance. I would also be grateful if you would pass on our thanks to Antonello, Christina and Paola Steve Robins
Dear Antonio We had a fantastic time at Santa Christina last year and would really love to return in August 2008. We are trying to sort out our annual leave, provisionally we would be interested in two weeks beginning August 10th. Could you advise on availabilty? Very best regards and Happy New Year.
