I loved the authenticity of the decor and setting. Because I was a woman traveling alone with various guests joining me at different times, it was imperative that I feel safe. There was never a time that I felt uncomfortable sleeping with all windows wide open at night in order to maximize the cool night breezes. The private country setting allowed me to unwind from my adventure packed days. I stayed there for 30 continuous days and my guests all said the villa was their favorite part of their Tuscany experience . The recycling demands were a pain and stressful to foreigners. We tried hard but the language barrier made it hard for us to understand the various rules. The bathroom situation is not optimal. Luckily my guests and I were fit enough to navigate the stairs up and down for nighttime bathroom visits. For your guests a clothes dryer would be helpful, very often our laundry did not completely dry during the day on the clothes racks and had to be moved inside.
