Borgo Tollena was all that we had researched ahead of time and then some!! This place is absolutely beautiful and so close to everything. The views of Tuscany are picture perfect. I just cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was. Perfect locations for taking in so much throughout the area! We did not use the pool as it was chilly but it was beautiful just the same! Everything is so close, we had a great time! There is just so much! San Gimignano of course, Volterra is a beautiful village to visit and have dinner. We went to Pisa and Siena as well as Florence. All were so easy to get to.

Our stay in Tenuta Ripalte was a great one. We got lots more than we expected. We had expected a simple cottage with a shared pool. Infact the cottage was located in a large 'Resort' type property which has individual self catering cottages, as well as a small hotel . We had all the freedom of the self catering holiday but enjoyed the services offered by the resort such as yoga, diving courses, kids club etc.. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming which made a big difference to our stay. Be aware however when booking to check the distance away from the pool. We have 2 small children and our original cottage was a 15minute gravel road drive away from the main facilities including the pool, which we had not expected. The property is very large, but you do not have the feeling of being in a busy holiday resort at all. The area is outstanding for its beauty and nature and a mountain bikers paradise. Also be aware of the 12km gravel road to reach the property. Overall an excellent holiday, we would return!

We stayed in Cipresso for two nights. The property is lovely, well maintained and in a quiet, scenic location at the bottom of a valley. Reception was warm and staff very helpful. The kitchen was more than adequate for cooking, although we didn't use it much. Not every room had a window with an insect screen though, which I thought was essential as mosquitoes were pretty common in this part of the country in summer.
The coordinates given on the website are not entirely accurate, as our GPS led us to another property. Better to follow the road directions and look for Casa Bandini signs - these are, fortunately, quite prominently placed on the road. The locals in the surrounding areas are not very familiar with the name Antico Borgo San Lorenzo (we had to ask for directions a couple of times) but everyone we asked knew about Casa Bandini.

Overall, a lovely villa - I really wished we had more time there!
