a wonderful family and farm in a great location
The location is wonderful. It is in rolling hill country with vineyards, olive orchards, and centuries’ old stone houses dotting the landscape. The grounds around the house and farm buildings is immaculately groomed with flowers, bushes, etc. Our apartment (we stayed in Legnaia) was simple but clean, pleasant and functional. It has terracotta floors and stone exterior walls. Even during 90 degree days we could shut the windows and stay comfortable, and then open them up again in the evening to cool down the apartment. The beds were very basic, but comfortable. Both bedrooms had chests of drawers that were adequate. The rooms are too small for a sitting chair or desk. The kitchen, dining area, and sitting area are all in one medium size room. The dining table seated four. The kitchen had a four burner gas stove and a microwave, but no oven or toaster oven. There was a small full-size refrigerator/freezer, but no dishwasher. But it was sufficient that we cooked all our dinners in the kitchen. There is an old style drying rack in the cupboard next to the sink. The bathroom has a shower stall, toilet, bidet and sink. It is small but functional. Although the apartment is quite small, two small terracotta patios have arbors provide shade above them (but no roof to provide shelter from rain). One patio had seating for two. Franco and Sonia, the owners, are delightful, as is their son Daniele who gave us the tour of the wine cellar. They gave us free samples of several wines which ranged from very good to excellent. The entire farm provides a deep sense of serenity and harmony between man and nature. This is a very special place, lovingly cared for. Yes, it would be nice to have larger apartments with more amenities, but it was a tradeoff I was more than happy to make. I will never forget the week our family spent there.
