We were very pleased to be welcomed into Paola’s family home. It is spacious and tastefully decorated. If it were possible to give six stars for clean, we would do so quickly. This is a large family home, and every corner and surface was clean. And, a great benefit to us was it did not smell like scented cleaning products. Just plain and simple clean. Paola is charming and was very responsive to our needs. She stopped by a couple of times during our week’s stay to help us, gave us a ride to the center to rent a car, and called a taxi for us when we were leaving. And yes, you must have a car! Public transportation is infrequent and only runs until the evening. The neighborhood is lovely, and plan to eat at Omero’s restaurant next door for a great Tuscan experience. There are no other restaurants, shops, or markets close by. You must drive for any shopping. The traffic noise was a problem for us. A beautiful, almost one-lane, stone road winds up the hills past this home. It is amazing how many cars and trucks pass right outside the door. And read carefully. This is a home on two floors.
