La Montanina

Me and my friends stayed in the 2 bedroom villa suite. The views are spectacular, the sunsets you’ll see rolling over the city are breathtaking. The rooms were very comfy and there are a AC in the living rm. We went to town and bought groceries and made our own dinners and breakfast, our kitchen had all the essentials of pots/pans/plates/silverware/espresso maker. Antonio and Marinella were absolutely wonderful. We participated in a wine tasting as well which was informative with tasty treats made by Marinella. The Santo Stefano wines are sooo good, they also make and sell their own olive oil. The pool is the perfect way to cool down in the heat, it is clean and has nice views as well. Things to keep in mind: there is no restaurant on site, this is not like a hotel, if you need more towels you have to ask, your room is not going to be cleaned daily (I liked this a lot because it felt like my own house). There is free Wi-Fi but it is not very good at all (I also liked this, it made us talk a lot more!) , the drive into town was a little long for us to get supplies about 15 min (mostly hard because we were not used to the small roads and Italian driving habits), it is about an hour to most other beautiful medieval towns, only 30 min to Cortona(highly recommend going there). I will definitely stay here again!! Thank you Marinella and Antonio for your hospitality!
