I spent 6 days in October in the Barn, along with my husband and two other couples (ages 50 -72). The house itself was perfect for us. We did lots of cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, and used the wood BBQ outside most days as well. Serena cooked a meal for us and it was amazing. The living room also had ample room, and we used the wood fireplace a couple of nights, which was lovely in October. The house has 3 bedrooms, each with an ensuite, which was important for us and not easy to find. All the beds and baths are upstairs, which could be an issue for some travellers, but it worked for us.
The views are spectacular! We planned to use the barn as a base to explore the area, but we ended up spending most of our time on the property because it was so lovely. We used the pool most days. The Barn is the closest home to the pool, but there were not many other guests in the other homes, so it was pretty quiet. That may not be the case in a busier season, but there is plenty of distance and trees between the pool and the Barn, so it is very private.
The nearest town is about a 15 minute drive, so we did our grocery shopping there.
We spent 2 weeks in 3 locations in Tuscany and this location and home was the best of them all. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities one would need. We would love to come back and would surely recommend it!
