A lovely house in a quiet location
We rented this property for 4 weeks so that various family members could join us at various points during our stay. Everyone loved it particularly the swimming pool. The location was such that many “sites” were within no more than an hour’s drive. As we had young (grand)childrenwith us for much of the time, our eating out was primarily at lunchtime when many restaurants do not serve pizza. Worth bearing in mind that Lo Strettoio -2km from La Salceta - does do them at lunchtime on Tuesdays ! Sunday lunch is an institution and we very much enjoyed joining the locals on all 3 Sundays during our stay. Our nearest restaurant - Casa del Buono - was the most sophisticated ( lovely fish dishes) and the staff were both friendly and helpful.
Marina has helpfully produced some information sheets with restaurant and other recommendations. We would not have run out of places to go and/or to eat if we had been there for 12 weeks let alone 4!
We did go off piste on a number of occasions and enjoyed visits to Anghiari and Asciano, the former in particular being amazing.
The kitchen is fairly simple but then so is most Italian food. We are already missing the fabulous tomatoes and mozzarella!
Finally, Marina is a delightful owner and the wine from her vineyard is lovely
