Six of us spent an unforgettable week at one of the two villas set in this winery estate on a hilltop surrounded by the wine orchards and olive trees overlooking the hill town of Arezzo in the distance. We felt like we were on a movie set as the villa and the meticulously groomed grounds were exquisite! Huge beautifully furnished rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Huge glassed in kitchen and dining room. A lovely pool! A terrace with an unforgettable view of the valley towards Arezzo.
We were blessed with perfect weather and picture perfect sunsets each night. We took the informative wine tour and sampled their organic wine offerings. Several of us had wine shipped home as they do not yet have an American distributor.
We were especially lucky to be there the week of harvesting! Fascinating!
They also arranged an incredibly fun and delicious cooking class with lots of their wines which was a highlight of our vacation for the six of us. The hospitality manager spoke English beautifully and was so helpful for our stay as we explored Tuscany with various day trips. The property is secured with an electronic gate. The rooms were like a movie set. Being able to cook many of our meals and prepare breakfasts at our leisure made this an incredible week of enjoying each other’s company while exploring the Tuscan hill towns. This is a special vacation spot that meets and exceeds demanding expectations. I will treasure my week there!
