Charming and enchanting!
It’s not often that 19 members of an American family have the occasion to be treated like royalty in a magnificent Tuscan castle! The physical venue, including the antique furniture to the billiard table to the large classic dining room table and carved chairs, is matched by the views of cypress trees, olive groves, vineyards and stone towers dating to the 1300s. The views of the hills and villages around us were unparalleled. The comfort level was modern and superb. The people involved in management were hospitable and charming. Valentina's welcome was warm, and her tour of the castle was amazing. Antonio’s management was orderly and friendly. Primal’s caretaking was attentive and cheerful. The wine from their vineyard, and the Olive oil from their olive trees, were excellent. We had several private dinners in their wonderful dining room, which gave us the full Tuscan culinary experience. We also had the opportunity to enjoy a cooking class by the chef! We were within a short walk to the lovely town of Impruneta, with friendly waiters, the best ice cream shop ever at Bar Italia, the great pastries at the tabac, etc. They recommended the restaurant Trattoria dal Contadina, which we returned to several times, the food was so delicious. All of our family was captivated by the castle experience. Mi castle es su castle!
