Although I had stayed in Tuscany before, it was the first time for my partner, her two teenage girls and our 8 month old Labrador. It could not have worked better. The accommodation itself was perfect, with two separate bedrooms and bathrooms/toilets, a well equipped kitchen, a fabulous terrace to sit out on and enjoy eating with a view. The swimming pool, table football and ping pong were all put to full use and we all felt totally at home. Best of all was the warmth, kindness and good humour of Stefano and Marta. Thank you both!
With the location we hoped to get a balance between relaxation at the farmhouse, sun & sand, and the culture that the region has to offer. A couple of beach visits - including a fabulous dog beach at San Vincenzo - and trips to San Gimignano, Pisa and Firenze were all easily made.
There are plenty of local wine tasting, and cheese/honey etc. buying options and for eating out - we loved Il Tino da Roberta, a couple of kms down the road, and great for pizza and local dishes with a view and fantastic value.
We wish we could have stayed much, much longer.
