It is very difficult to find any criticisms. My wife and I had a fantastic 4 night stay. Getting to the agriturismo was a breeze using Google maps. The drive down a crushed gravel road surrounded by olive trees and vineyards is majestic. There are many signs so it is impossible to get lost. I pressed the call button and Rafaele immediately answered and let us into his gated property. He checked us in, showed us around his property and made several dinner recommendations. The pool area is gorgeous, but it was too cold for a swim. The rooms are well appointed, clean, and have plenty of hot water. WiFi is quick enough for us to stream from all of our devices. Rafaele is a lovely host and was very accommodating. I highly recommend the cooking class (Carlotta is amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable). There are many breakfast options, but don’t expect the American breakfast (steak, sausage, bacon etc) we had musli, yogurt, a baked good, fruit, and so many cappuccinos. The agriturismo is located within 15 minutes of Montepulciano and you can easily reach Pienza and Montalcino. There are many nearby restaurants as well. Heating and AC systems worked great, parking was easy, the grounds are very nice. I took a daily walk around the olive trees, lavender bushes, pear trees, fig, trees, and all of the herbs and vegetables they were growing. I absolutely adore this place, and I hope I am lucky enough to return. The only negative I can come up with is that the room was a little sticky and hot after somebody took a shower, but that was easily remedied by opening a window. You should book a room here
