The apartment is cute, neat and tidy and perfectly located directly on Piazza Madonna dei Monti. The roof terrace offers lovely views and a wonderful aspect to a stay in Rione Monti and Rome.

The Owners and staff make this magical castle truly exceptional. From a welcome of wine and roasted chestnuts, to an introduction to the history, family pet and chapel: an unbelievably beautiful, warm and unforgettable experience.

Stefano and Sergio are gracious hosts at this beautiful location in the Tuscan hills. Our apartment was great, the setting wonderful and the food was spectacular. We would certainly stay at the villa again.

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.
