Tuscan dream!
The Villa is fantastic! I rented it for five weeks. Close friends came and went. There was plenty of space and living areas and we all had a fabulous time cooking, drinking, laughing and dancing together. Whilst a car is required, the Villa is centrally located in the region and we did many fantastic day trips to surrounding towns. A taxi to Siena was about 15 euros...shared between two or three, we found this reasonable. A few (including taxi drivers) struggled to find the Villa. Don't trust GPS...it sends you the wrong way.
Andrea, the Villa manager, was a delight and we all loved him. He came every day, cleaned the huge, magnificent pool and happily chatted to us and assisted with any problems and arrangements. He picked fresh zucchini growing in the garden and left them for us on the kitchen bench.
For some, the Villa may be a little tired, definitely rustic, the garden a little out of control but for us the charm of the place, the beauty of the chapel and the surrounding country was exceptional. I had dreamed of a holiday in Tuscany for a decent period of time and Villa Del Cielo fulfilled that dream.
I had read that a stereo and cd player would be available but I may have had that information wrong as different booking sites offered different amenities. We took music with us so our impromptu dance sessions at the Villa and pool were brilliant. Siena....well, Siena.. what can I say. I loved you the first time I saw you and got to know you better this time. Don't miss the Wednesday markets!
So, in summary...5 out of 5 for the Villa and Andrea. Would I rent it again? Yes. Would I recommend it to others? Yes.
Thank you Simone and Andrea for your warm welcome and assistance.
Kindest regards,
