Les habitations sont très soignées, très propres.L 'accueil est chaleureux, les propriétaires sont toujours prêts à rendre service. Ils connaissent les bonnes adresses de restaurants, les promenades à faire, les lieux à visiter. Je recommande vivement cet agriturisme voiture non seulement il permet de se reposer mais aussi de rayonner à pied, à travers les collines, dans le site géographique inaltéré des peintures de Piero della Francesca, ou en voiture dans une Toscane authentique, riche en merveilles artistiques d «une ville à l'autre: Arezzo, San Sepolcro, Anghiari, Citerna, Cortona .... sans compter l'Ombrie très proche ... Le climat y est sain, Aere. Chaque année et je reviens chaque année, je retrouve le lieu avec une grande joie. Et il ya toujours quelque chose à découvrir .... quelle que soit la saison!

While in Tuscany in 2008, we toured numerous Agriturismo's in order to find a suitable location for our 2009 family holiday, and it was during this tour that we found MonteMiliano. With its impeccable accommodation, great facilities (listed) and stunning views overlooking the beautiful walled village of Monterchi less than a mile away, not only did we reserve it there and then, we also took a photograph of the view from where we would be having our breakfast each morning and put it on our kitchen wall as a reminder of what was to come !! Our 2009 family holiday is now behind us, and we were delighted with every aspect of both our holiday and (especially) Montemiliano; Lucia really went the extra mile to ensure that we were made to feel at home and that we were aware of all of the events that were on in the region (inc The Palio, local festivals etc). Montemiliano is everything (& more) that you will want from a Tuscan holiday, in a corner of Tuscany that is not as expensive as the other areas that we have visited - a real gem !! Ps - That photo is still on the wall ahead of our return in 2010.

We took a party of 16 to San Lorenzo in July and had a wonderful time. The view across to Monterchi is stunning especially in the early morning light when the town glows. We had sufficient teenagers and younger people to make their own crowd and mostly they wanted to hang about in the sun by the lovely pool and play table football or ping pong. We often used the large BBQ situated beside the sun-shaded outdoor dining table (and never used the indoor dining room). We cooked pasta and vegetables inside and meals were relaxed communal occasions. You need a car – the local shop is close by, but it was too hot to walk and with the great view comes a steep driveway. The shop has fresh meat and a varied selection of cooked and smoked meats and local cheeses – we did most of our shopping there. Ask at the till about the local red wine from across the road. 5L cost only 8 Euros and it was very drinkable. There are supermarkets further afield - Arezzo (about 45 minutes away) was massive but a good scale map will prevent you from getting lost. There is a good variety of other local shops within a couple of miles including a great ice cream shop and pizza bar. We flew from Bristol into Pisa – about two hours from San Lorenzo – and the whole transport experience was very relaxed (except Europcar stinging us excessively for additional drivers - almost universal practice). If you like Art or History then within an hour’s drive you will find more than enough to keep you occupied for weeks. In the evening there were a variety of music events – in Anghiari we wandered the streets listening to music and drinking coffee in the numerous cafes. The accommodation was airy and new. We put Granny and Grandpa in the Rimessa which is a delightful self contained cottage. The teenagers were split across the two floors of the Fienile – boys on the lower floor with its entrance on one side of the building and girls on the upper floor. The two upper rooms have separate entrances and bathrooms. We and the younger ones occupied the Tabaccaia – you could squeeze three small ones on the lower floor and a couple up above. The entrance arrangement meant you could either have one suite connected by the stairway or two separate rooms, each with en-suite. Our hosts, Lucia and Graziano were very friendly and helpful – Lucia speaks excellent English if your Italian isn’t up to much. Do ask her about local events and the best restaurants. We thoroughly recommend San Lorenzo
