"This home is by far the most beautiful place we have ever rented. The house itself is both elegant and cozy, with comfortable beds and a gracefully renovated kitchen. The property is a slice of heaven, with spectacular views and gorgeous seating areas. I still miss the smell of oleander wafting on the breeze. My teen and early 20-something children said they would give the pool 11/10 stars :) It stayed cold and clean despite the serious heat while we were there, and is visited by a flock of beautiful swallows who do a little aerial dance every day. The grocery store in Panzano is a quick and easy drive. We loved dining in Montefioralle right across the valley. We took half-day trips to Castellina and Siena, and still had time to spend the rest of the day cooling off in the pool. Tessa was a responsive host and everything was as expected, but better. We hope very much to return as soon as possible! Bellisima!"
