Summary: Had a perfect place to enjoy exploring the Tuscan countryside. Loved the kitchen,comfortable beds & pillows. It was the perfect balance to a month long visit in Italy. Sweet roomy place with atmosphere.

Summary: This house would be a better choice in the summer, when it's warmer, and the evenings are lighter later. The property is lovely and it would have been nice to be able to be outside more. Things in the house are very basic, no extras that you find in other homes. The house was extremely cold, and we were surprised to have to pay extra 30e a day for heating. I was told this was because of lower off season rates but reality is you have to have heat so less of a bargain. This isn't the place if you have allergies , the place was very musty since it isn't heated ahead of time and there were lots of dust bunnies and cobwebs in the fireplace , in the some of the decorations, and we made the mistake of trying to adjust one of the clamp lights in the kitchen revealing a thick layer of fuzz. When we arrived there was some confusion with directions and we spent 90 minutes once we were near the town trying to figure out where we went wrong. I couldn't load the App to communicate with the owner as she preferred and her mother wasn't able to help us over the phone because of the language difference. She was very nice once we arrived. The house is a long drive to Siena, Montalcino etc. and Hwy 2 was not as major a road as the maps make it look like. We ended up not seeing as many places as we hoped as it was a bit treacherous driving after dark - there were a couple of restaurants we'd read about in near by towns but we didn't wantto go back on the roads in yhe evening. . If you're looking to visit more of the southern hill towns of Tuscany , this is a good location.

Summary: This is a stunning place to stay - a lovely house in idyllic surroundings. Comfortable beds and well equipped. Eleanora was wonderfully welcoming, and really helpful in giving us tips about the local area. Highly recommended!

Summary: My family wanted an authentic slice-of-Italian life experience in the Tuscan countryside, and our stay at Eleonora's lovely home, Podere dei Castagni, was just about heaven! The house is situated on a large piece of land, with lovely views of green pastures and rolling hills. The photos are absolutely accurate - it's a restored stone farmhouse, with deep set shuttered windows, solid construction and good natural light. The two bedrooms upstairs are comfortable and private, we slept great. The baths are nicely updated, the upper one benefits from a view into the front garden. The kitchen has all the essentials, although we rarely cooked (there's just too much amazing food to be had in this area.) The food in Tuscany is truly the best! Eleonora's mother greeted us in the classic style - with a bottle of Vin Santo and little cantucci.. She lives adjacent with her well-behaved dog, and is available if needed, but otherwise not intrusive at all. Later in the week, Sandra showed us her house, which is filled with her absolutely stunning ceramic works. Yes, our limited language skills were put to the test. Eleonora was always responsive by email with good suggestions. The gardens surround the house and kind of ramble and tumble down the hillside, offering shade and sun, fruit trees, climbing roses, clumps of rosemary and pots of basil. It's all very restful and bucolic. We really appreciated how much cooler and fresher the air is at this elevation. Walking into town takes 12-15 minutes along a country road. There's no sidewalk for the first part, so you do need to be aware of approaching cars, but the road isn't too busy. I would definitely drive after dark. Parking doesn't seem to be a problem in Abbadia SS. Abbadia is a nice sized town -- small enough to get a real sense of the place, but big enough to have a good grocery, pharmacy, several good restaurants, nice plazas and parks. Don't miss the medievel section, which I stumbled upon one morning, getting lost and found in the winding lanes. We did day-trips to some of the more famous/touristy Tuscan towns, but we would have been happy to spend nearly all our time in and around Abbadia. It has a special charm and easy access to Mt Amiata with all kinds of hiking trails and spectacular views. We Loved It!

Summary: My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Podere Castagni. The house is charming, comfortable and clean. We loved the hostess and she makes amazing fruit tart with fruit from the orchard. The house is beautifully located in the Tuscan hills in the middle of Val d'Orcia. Very convenient and close to town. Abbadia is a lovely town with a medioval borgo and excellent restaurants. We did several day trips in Pienza, Montalcino, Siena and Bagni San Filippo. We liked the peaceful setting and our breakfast in the garden. We'll be back.
