    Not a huge negative but general feedback, the overhead bifold cupboards in the kitchen were heavy and difficult to manage.

    Very restful apartment set in Tuscany about 20 minutes from Siena. Our apartment was spacious and comfortable with all the facilities we needed for a relaxing stay, an outdoor seating area and access to the pool and sun lounges. Paolo, our host was generous to allow me to use the washing machine on our first day there. We particularly liked our visits from the very friendly cats.

    The location is really isolated. You need to drive everywhere you go - even to get breakfast. The pool is very dirty and is not cleaned. We saw all kinds of insects swimming in it - so none of us went in during our 5 day stay. There are also incredible amount of bugs - we were COVERED (not the property's fault -- but would have loved a heads up and some insect repellant). Wi-Fi wasn't great in rooms. Also - there are lots of activities to do around the property - wish we were told of them when we booked so we could have made use of the bookings. We found wine tasting and cooking oil details in the welcome book, but it was too late to book by then.

    Good property, incredible views and very good staff too. They provide a nice welcome basket + lots of wine and local olive oil is available to purchase too.

    WiFi was only available in the living room, but it wasn't a big issue for us.

    The location is perfect - it's accessible and easy to find. You can get to the main points of interest (Val d'Orcia, Siena, Chianti) in 30 - 40 min. The apartment is well equipped. We had some cold days and the heating worked perfectly. Last but not least, the landscape surrounding the property is beautiful, especially the sunsets! 🌄

    The fact that some garden areas connected to the apartments have a view of the parking lot did not bother us at all, because it was only cars of other guests and the agriturismo can be reached only by car. The road next to the agriturismo is not so noisy that it bothered us. However, real relaxation is only possible if other guests respect the quiet. We had bad luck twice in a row with guests staying above us: old buildings are not well insulated and it is fine to hear footsteps and chairs to some extent, but very loud discussions in the early morning or singing and guitar playing in the evening, while perhaps funny for those involved, prevented us from getting a good night's sleep.

    We had a really nice time and enjoyed our stay at Podere Sant'Alessandro very much. The apartments are in really good condition and nicely furnished and the beds are comfortable. The staff is very accommodating and easy to contact - even via Whatsapp. The pool is big enough to swim in and the surrounding area offers many hidden spots to sit and enjoy a great view of the Tuscan vineyards. Many different activities can be booked through the owners, such as picnics, mountain bike rentals, wine tastings and the like - really great deals!

    Thought the discoloured fridge a bit off putting. No kettle for us Brits was a pain. Paulo kindly fetched a percolator but no use I'm afraid.

    Being met my Paulo. Location and pool excellent. Apartment and bed very comfortable. Aircon very welcome as it was unseasonally hot.

    The kitchen could with more stuff like cutlery and glasses.

    Lots of space, you can sit at different spots. Great view, great location, nice pool. Good base for hiking and visiting cultural highlights as Monte Oliveto Maggiore, Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Arezzo, Montalcino and Perugia. Good restaurants nearby. We tried Ischietto (Serre de Rapolano; fantastic), Walter Redaelli (Betolle; fantastic), Locanda Trequanda (Trequanda; very good), La Mencia (Asciano; very good for pasta), La Rocca (Serre de Rapolano ; nice), Forcilla (Sinalunga; atmospheric but mediocre food) and La Rocca (Lucignano; disappointing). We did hear the road a bit, but that did not disturb us. Paolo was very friendly and helpful.

    this is a remodeled property that was created by separating 2 buildings into 7 units I believe. the walls are completely non sound proof, you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors do even if they do it quietly. There are no small windows to open, there are no nets on these large doors, so it’s a challenge to enjoy the fresh air while inside. The cleaning is not thorough, there are killed mosquitos all over the ceiling, I saw some spider webs too. The property needs updating to allow for comfortable stay.

    the house is located in a bucolic setting, at night it is completely quiet, the air is very clean. there is parking right on the property. there is plenty of space. our unit did not smell bad in any way

    We were only given shampoo and shower gel for the first day. We were there for for 4 days, and it wouldn’t hurt if they provided for the entire stay when it’s so short. The pool were fine, but the pool area could be upgraded. The water in the hot tub was a bit dirty so we wouldn’t use it. A lot of kids were using it. Maybe they should change it more often. The location were not that good. It is right next to a road with medium traffic including heavy trucks. Not that idyllic. WiFi didn’t work at all. We think the price was a little expensive compared to what you get.

    The apartment were good, nice fully equipped kitchen. The owner were very nice and friendly. It’s not a place I personally would recommend, but it seemed like the families with children enjoyed it.
