Aug 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The villa was what you would typically expect to find in the Tuscany region. A few reviews judged it as 'rustic', but given that Tuscany villas could easily be 100 years or more old, that seems like a bit of an odd critique. The villa was as you would expect a house in the country to be. The bathrooms were updated and the kitchen was compact as expected in Italy. It is noteworthy that the downstairs shower had very bad water pressure, to the point that the couple came upstairs to shower. The kitchen could have been better outfitted with basic utensils, and a decent knife would be good. The coffee pot (upstairs) didn't work, so we had to just put a filter in it and use it as a pour over. The renters are expected to provide consumables e.g. trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters, napkins, etc. Visitors should plan on needed shopping trip their first day to make sure supplies are stocked. The winery in town was nice for a light dinner. The town restaurant was pricey and meh. ##### Susan I. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025
