“Lovely Tuscan escape”
Wonderful location and wonderful apartment. John, the owner, was extremely attentive and helpful. We wished we had longer here.

Response from the owner Thanks for the review. Our guests always wish they had longer at our apartment. It is hard for me to say beforehand you should give less time to Rome, or Florence, over humble Montefollonico but inevitably they wish they had more time for the Tuscan hill towns. I think a second trip is called for. :)

Response from the owner Thanks so much for the glowing review. We will shorten that wifi password. And glad you feel the same way about not having a TV. There is no TV channel in the world that has a better show than the view from the Torre!
