Myself and 3 women friends spent the first week of October at this beautiful villa just outside of Siena. The villa was clean and comfortable and well cared for. It was more than spacious for the 4 of us--giving each of us our own bedroom and 3 full baths was a plus. In fact, the house is large enough for a big family or a few couples to share. The living space was great for relaxing and comfortably furnished. Perfect for friends or a family to just hang out or share meals together. We especially liked the location which allowed us to make day trips to Siena, Florence, Montepulciano, Arrezzo and other nearby towns. The people in the nearby town of Casetta were friendly and welcoming. We found two local restaurants that were very good. Riccardo was very helpful, giving us suggestions of things to do while in the area and where to shop for food and supplies.. He even arranged for us to have an authentic Italian cooking class at the villa in the well equipped kitchen where we cooked breakfast every morning. The villa sits on a high hill so the view was amazing. We were so busy we didn't take advantage of the pool, but it would be great for a family with kids or just for relaxing. We would all welcome the chance to go back to this wonderful house on the hill.
