Beautiful apartment, just what I expected. We dealt mostly with Giordonia and she is very kind & helpful. It is very secluded in the Tuscan countryside, so it does take some time to drive but we found the countryside lovely and did not mind the drive. There is no TV or Internet connection in the room but we could get Internet at the office area. It was beautiful to sit under the stars and catch up with email at the end of our day. If you need TV or internet in your room this is not the place for you. The room was clean and everything worked properly. The kitchen was well stocked and pleasant to cook there. The view is lovely. We walked the grounds every morning. You can walk around the vineyards and the woods. The welcome special dinner is worth the cost. Great value, Great space!

I stayed with 6 members of my family in the Il Padronale flat. It was very large and spacious, the 7 of us never felt crowded, actually a few of us got lost inside! The beds were large and comfortable and so were all but one of the 4 bathrooms. Sergio and Stefano made us a lovely dinner the night we arrived, even though we got horribly lost and arrived later then planned. The food was amazing and our hosts were not invasive, we waved every morning on our way out and the second morning Stefano brought us bread and milk, we purchased, from the local market. That was nice as the closest one is 10 miles away. We loved the remote, quiet and beautiful location but I will say finding it was not easy at all. We had several maps and a GPS unit and still, every night it took us at least 2 hours to find it and we never found the same way back, which was frustrating. Very few signs indicating San Polo was another frustration. I'm sure not everyone will have such navigation problems and it is no reflection on the lovely stay we had. We looked at our rides back to the Villa as part of our Tuscan adventure and we found many charming towns through out Chianti while lost! The grounds of the Villa were beautiful with flowers, trees, grass and olive groves. You have to purchase their amazing olive oil at the Villa, I have never seen it so green and tasty! I would recommend the Villa and I would stay again myself, especially now that I know the mountain roads. I would also advise new travelers that the paved road ends onto a dirt road so take that into consideration when renting your car.

Very nice villa in a practical location close to Montepulciano and Cortona. Excellent condition, well kept. Efficient and friendly service by owners, especially served dinners were excellent.

What a wonderful villa to stay at. We enjoyed the area and could not have asked for better hosts. Gabriel and Lucia we fantastic. Nothing was a bother. Would recommend to any of our fellow australians.

The house is beautiful and the views were amazing. The owner is very friendly and made life there very comfortable. The directions are a little poor to get there, so try to get the actual address for your GPS before venturing up the hill.

4 of us spent 4 days at La Chiesina and it was brilliant. Just outside of the town of Poggibonsi and 10 minutes from beautiful San Gimignano it was a great location. Our host, Maria, was kind enough to escort us to the property as we got a little lost and on arrival we enjoyed some of her lovely homebaked cakes and a complimentary bottle of wine. The home itself was beautiful and very comfortable, you can;t help but appreciate the restoration to the home and the location it is in. We spent a night in and cooked a home cooked meal as all the necessary items were available to us.
Check in and check out was easy and we would definately stay there again should we be lucky enough to visit Tuscany again. I would definately recommend this house and Easy Reserve!

Huge place and very clean. Building was gorgeous, and there are actually 6 bedrooms, not 4 as it states on the website. Quite out of the way; nearest town to get groceries is about 20 mins drive. No problem if you have a car though and surrounding area is gorgeous. Kitchen facilities limited - also the kitchen is some way from the living area which is upstairs, so not convenient if you are preparing food to eat. Would definitely come back.

All I can say is that this property is so beautiful, it takes your breath away. It was everything I'd hoped to see in a visit to the Tuscany region of Italy.

Hard to find, the road to the villa...scary corners, but once you get there...amazing view and great little town. Owner didn't speak great English, no internet and my cell didn't really work either. If you go in the fall or winter, ask them to turn on the heat ASAP. Trust me, its worth the extra cost (we paid less then $3 a day).

Owner gave us a bottle of his own wine, the beds were comfortable, but the view...the view is what made the place.
