This peaceful Castiglione d'Orcia villa was the perfect home base for our group of seven adults. It was very well-appointed and secluded enough to allow us to truly relax and disconnect, but still within easy driving distance to many charming towns, wineries, and restaurants. Gaia was a fantastic host, answering all our questions and helping arrange two home-cooked meals at the villa (highly recommend!). Being early December, the weather was cool and at times rainy, and some restaurants were closed, but that didn't prevent us from enjoying everything the area has to offer. Lovely stay!
