"The villa in Santo Stefano was ideal for our family. This was our first time in Italy and we were delighted with the property and our wonderful host, Elena. The house is beautifully rustic, and nicely furnished with family antiques. The property was situated so we could do day trips to Siena, Florence and numerous wineries and small towns all around. Most of all, we enjoyed having meals in the back garden as the we watched the most glorious sunsets. The pool was a blessing as the heat wave hit in June. There are nice walking and hiking trails on the property too.Elena and her staff were alway available with advice or assistance. And I almost forgot to mention the delicious Chianti they produce!"
