 Wonderful apartment, January 2, 2008

By Rebecca Maldonado (Los Angeles, California)

Our family of 3 stayed in this lovely apartment last summer. We enjoyed its wonderful location, and medieval charm. It is very comfortably furnished with cooking utensils, linens, etc., even a washing machine. The apartment stays wonderfully cool, even on hot summer days. It is within walking distance of the Fonteverde Spa, and comfortable driving distance to many Tuscan hilltop towns. The owners are very responsive and helpful.
