    Séjour agréable.
    Accueil très sympathique de Simonetta et de son mari de bon conseil et très serviables.
    A disposition le rez-de-chaussée spacieux et très bien équipé d'une maison de village avec terrasse donnant sur la campagne. Calme.
    Parking et restaurants à proximité.
    Idéalement situé pour visiter Sienne, le Chianti, les Crete Senesi.
    Nous recommandons cette location.

    I had a fantastic time. Beautiful town, terrific lodging, and the nicest hosts in all of Italy. If you go to the restaurant in the village, order the ribs...falling off the bone and cooked like porchetta. Simonette was incredibly helpful and kind and i enjoyed our conversations. She and her husband are national treasures.

    Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Simonetta, dans sa grande maison dans laquelle nous étions totalement autonomes. L'accueil a été formidable, très amical, nous conserverons un très bon souvenir et si nous revenons en Toscane nous envisageons de séjourner à nouveau, si c'est possible, à Strove qui est un charmant village et très central pour les nombreuses visites à effectuer

    Our 7 day stay was fabulous. Simonetta and Luciano were very friendly. Simonetta's English is very good. It is an excellent base to explore the Tuscan countryside especially with Simonetta's suggestions. She very kindly gave us great advice on the local attractions. Thank you Simonetta

    Au coeur d'un petit village typique de la région de Sienne, Simonetta nous accueille chaleureusement. La chambre est grande, fraiche. Terrasse et jardin accessibles. Simonetta a été de très bon conseil pour visiter la région de Sienne et le Sud de la Toscane.
