Getting around

The nearest shops, banks, chemist, etc. are 5 km away at Barberino Val d'Elsa. Larger supermarkets and other facilities can be found at Tavarnelle val di Pesa (8 km), Certaldo (10 km) and Poggibonsi (13 km). There is a bus service from Barberino Val d'Elsa and regular trains from Certaldo, both serving Florence and Siena, Most guests therefore bring or rent a car, though some prefer to hire a private driver for transportation during their stay.

Response from the owner We're glad you appreciated the positive sides of our property but very sorry that you were disappointed by others. We do pride ourselves on helping our guests to enjoy their stay as much as possible. On this occasion, we were unfortunately called away to attend a close relative with a terminal illness. Had we been there during your visit, we could not of course have done anything about the heatwave or the mosquitos, but we certainly would have dealt with the pool issue and the washing machine, which is in our side of the house.
