I knew I wanted to stay in a rustic, farm-style, simple environment with a Tuscan feel. La Presura was a score! If you are looking for 5-star hotel treatment, this is not the place. But if you seek a stunningly beautiful, hilltop, retreat with the charm and simplicity of Tuscan-farm life. This is your spot. The apartments are built right into the farm structure, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards which the owners graciously allow you to peruse on foot on while using their available mountain bikes. I did both and the beauty (and challenging grade) of the Tuscan landscape was on full display and I was addicted. It is HOT in the summer but the air conditioners made it comfortable inside after playing outside. The pool is gorgeous and sufficient as a lap pool, which I was able to use every morning. The staff or warm and welcoming and always on hand to help with any issues, local recommendations, laundry, or to offer an estate wine tasting paired with local cheeses and meats. And a word about the LOCATION! It is perfectly located, as long as you have a car. Siena, San Gimignano, Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Monteriggioni are all within 1 hr drive and Impruneta, Grassina, and Firenze are all within 5-20 minutes. These are all must-see cities! The local markets in Impruneta and Strada in Chianti are perfect for daily food shopping and Greve in Chianti offers a wider variety as well as cooking schools and a beautiful, bustling piazza. An all-around amazing find!
