This is a perfect place to stay if you want to experience the Tuscan countryside. We stayed 3 days and were able to just enjoy the immediate area as well as visit Siena, Monteriggioni, and Impruneta, easily. We decided to rent a car near Santa Maria Novella station, and it afforded us a lot of freedom to travel between towns and get back to Florence (which is only a 15-20 minute drive away). If you rent a car, ask about instructions on how to navigate limited traffic zones in the old cities. The olive grove surrounding the house is stunning. Filippo and his family are wonderful hosts!
