The property was really well located in rural Tuscany, about 15 minutes from the Florence/Siena highway. There are a couple of restaurants and small towns nearby, plus the town of Certaldo about 20 minutes down the road with a proper Saturday market, a grocery store and laundromat. Not to mention the wineries around every bend.

The house was spotless, comfortable and the view is beautiful. It's basically the back half of the house and we were able to sit outside every night, overlooking the little olive grove and drinking a bottle of local wine. There's satellite TV, but very little is in English-not that there's much need to watch TV.

We had a lovely time, and if we're lucky enough to spend another week in Tuscany, we would definitely stay here again.

We would definitely recommend Il Granino. Not only was the location of the property perfect for touring around Tuscany, the villa itself was absolutely beautiful and had some of the best views of Tuscany. The owners, Alberto and Sylvie did so much to make us very welcome - providing us with an olive oil cake when we arrived which was absolutely delicious and six eggs from their farm. They also grow olive trees on the farm and let us have a bottle of their own olive oil which was, by far, the best we've ever had!

The facilities of the villa were great - it was comfortable and homely and had everything we needed, including a dishwasher which was a welcome treat!

The road up to the villa is a little windy and you have to be very careful, but the views at the top are well worth it. Go for a walk along the side of the property and go higher and you'll get even better views!

Piaggine is a wonderful place for all the persons who like nature, calm and reposal. The house is an old transformed farm with good taste keeping the tipycal and romantic aspects of the region.
A place to recommend.

We loved the house Casa Vignolo. We enjoyed many "happy hours" on the front porch which allowed us to meet and greet the locals. The house was well equipped for 3 couples and local shops provided a wide variety of local produce. Thanks to Marina & Francesco for their warm hospitality. Our cooking lesson at their family home very capably steered by Marina proved to be one of the highlights of our trip. The house is well placed to visit the Tuscan area by car with easy day trips.
