Eloise was a wonderful hostess, always there when we needed her. The property is comfortable, clean and a delight. We had plenty of room in our villa for the seven of us. Eloise made us breakfast as well as a sumptuous dinner one evening, which we ate al fresco. The vegetables came fresh from the garden. Delicious! And the 'house wine' was wonderful!
If you plan to cook, you may want to bring along extra spices and seasonings as the kitchen is well equipped with dishes, pots and pans, but is a bit light on the spice rack. We ran out of a few things and Eloise was quick to bring us refills, including coffee one morning, which held us over until we could make it to the local market.
Plenty of room to get out and about. The property itself is stunningly beautiful. The pool was still open (we were there in late September and early October) and while it was chilly, it was refreshing and provided a quiet place to relax in the sun.
We walked about the property and a few other trails suggested by Eloise, meeting other travelers on their own walk about. Just 20 minutes south of Siena, there is much to do in the area.
All in all, we had a delightful rest for seven days and nights. The night provided beautiful skies filled with stars. The days were mostly filled with sunshine and the fragrant scents of trailing flowers on the vine.
Thank you!
