We couldn't have been happier with this stay! It checked all our boxes: private space with beautiful views that was still walkable to town (we felt very safe at all hours of the day & night), plenty of room to be together or chill on our own, ample parking, and bedrooms upstairs away from the common space (each with ensuite bathrooms!). The back covered patio was *amazing*, gorgeous views, lots of lounge chairs, two tables we could pull together for big group meals...there were trikes for the kiddos and plenty of little nooks for them to create a myriad of imaginary games. Our hosts were great communicators and we were all impressed with the cleanliness of the villa as well! A real gem. San Quirico d'Orcia was the perfect small town, great trails for walking/running, had everything we needed at the COOP grocery market in town, a plethora of eating options, delicious gelato, and several stores for browsing and souvenirs! As an aside, we had a fabulous time with Tours of Tuscany: Alexandra brought a cooking class to the villa and Niccolo also picked us up from there and drove us around for a Brunello Winery tour. This house was a perfect home base for getting a taste of Tuscany!
