We rented the whole property as we like lots of space. Surrounded by vineyards, it was a short drive to bustling Montepulciano and also to excellent non-touristy village restaurants. Excellent base for exploring many lovely Tuscan towns and villages. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Laura is a friendly and most helpful host.
The cottage was perfect and the hostess charming” Reviewed 30 Sep 2018 The cottage was in a rural setting surrounded by grape plantings with only a 10-minute drive Montepulciano. Apparently the cottage was originally a farm equipment shed. According to local ordinances the shell had to be kept intact, but the interior has been completely redone with wood beams, air conditioning/heat throughout and everything beautifully finished inside. By the kitchen double doors led to a patio set up with a table and chairs for eating should weather permit as it did for us. The owner, Laura, lives in a separate house nearby and offered advice as to local restaurants etc. We wanted to do some cooking and were happy to hear there was a giant Conad supermarket at the edge of town with everything we might need. We ate out twice, once in Montepulciano and a second time eating authentic Tuscan food at Ristorante 13 Gobbi in Montefollonico another ancient hill town nearby. We loved our stay. Highly recommended.
An absolutely lovely unit with an outdoor patio under a trellis where we spent every evening. The histories of both Montepulciano and Cortona are interesting and we rate those visits above Siena - largely walking visits, but lunch at the Vino Nobile consortium for the views atop Multepulciano and wine-sampling - and go to Il Totino in Cortona for a nice menu and spectacular view. Documented history back to the Etruscans, interesting shopping available nearby during the day, but the comfort of this apartment brought us home for the evenings. The regular hostess Laura was in England, but her daughter Geraldine did everything needed without intruding. Serious vineyards commence five feet outside the back yard. Bring a car because there is much to see nearby using good roads.
Reviewed 30 May 2018 It was great staying here! We found a nice little place to feel at home. The cottage is lovely furnished, very clean and has everything we needed for the week (including fast heating for some rainy and cold evenings (20minutes was enough to get the humid air out!) and free Wi-Fi, thats working perfectly and fast). We really loved sitting in the beautiful garden full of roses, looking over the wine-yards and listening to all the birds (also nightingales!!!). The cottage is set in a great surrounding - Tuscany like in a picture book! Laura was a perfect host. We felt very welcomed, we could ask her for everything and she could give us good hints for restaurants, hiking-paths and everything else you need to know for holiday. Thank you very much, Laura!
Reviewed 10 Apr 2018 We loved this place! We stayed here with our two young children and found it so comfortable and clean, with plenty of room, a well-equipped kitchen, everything beautifully finished and a cot and high chair for our little girl. The owner was really friendly and helpful for anything we needed, but we always had our own space and privacy. The children loved running round in the garden, completely fenced in so perfectly safe, and we enjoyed walking in the surrounding vineyards. You can visit many lovely places really easily from here, we went to Pienza, Bagno Vignoni, Lake Trasimeno with a ferry ride to the island, Siena and Cortona which was amazing, however you do need a car. It was a little chilly over Easter so we were glad of the heating which was quick and efficient. We will definitely come back, with a visit to Florence planned for next time!
Reviewed 19 Jan 2018 Il Saraco is a lovely property situated approximately 1.5 miles from the village of Gracciano, Montepulciano. It is a beautifully restored barn with far reaching views amidst acres of vines. Our host, Laura, is very friendly and accommodating. The apartment is well furnished and spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen, large living area, good sized bathroom and two double bedrooms, which are air conditioned (if required). there are stone floors throughout. All windows are fitted with the bug blinds and shutters. We simply closed all the shutters during the heat of the day, then opened all of the windows and the air flowed through during the night, keeping the place comfortably cool. The towels and linens are of good quality and our bed was very comfortable. There if a lovely private shaded patio and large mature garden with plenty of natural shade and a swimming pool. Free, reliable and fast wifi is available to stay in touch with the outside world. Nearby there a several very good, reasonably priced, restaurants. The location is great to exploring Tuscany and you catch a high speed train to places such as Rome from Chuisi. We will definitely visit again in the future.
