La Grotta di Montecchino

Un bell'agriturismo su un poggio. Unico punto negativo il caldo, la.nostra unita era senza aria condizionata quindi il caldo si sentiva

We stayed here in 2019, so knew the layout of the estate. This is a historic C15th farmhouse (divided into apartments) in stunning grounds, complete with a beautiful, landscaped pool area. Agritourism means it is part of a working farm, but it is exceptionally quiet and peaceful. We were hoping for the same apartment (No 1) as before but this was not conveyed to the host and was not ready for us. We were given another. (No 5) it was beautiful, rustic and yet pretty. The bedroom was large and airy, with a huge wardrobe. We grew to love it. For a couple of days we were the only guests there, it felt simply wonderful having it all to ourselves. The whole place is spotless and very well cared for and offers stunning views in every direction. It is so photogenic. Tony the owner is lovely as is his new assistant.

We were sad to learn that the wonderful rustic suppers we had enjoyed before, were no longer available as staff had changed. The bathrooms could benefit from a bit of updating and the bed was a tadge firm.

Very nice envirnoment, nice view on the nature and the pool.

Very hot. No air-conditioning. We could not sleep, because of it.

The scenery of the location is beautiful. The hosts were very sweet and welcoming. It was equipped with everything we needed it although we didn't have the breakfast, you can request for breakfast with small additional fee. There is spacious parking spot, pool also available for warmer days. We will definitely return with friends and family in the future for warmer days.

It was unusually cold and rainy during our stay. Although the unpredictable weather was not our host's fault we were told that the city has a regulation against heating from April and we didn't want to go again the regulation so our stay was very cold and damp. We just wished our stay could have been warm and toasty. It is a very old building so we found it to be a bit dusty.

nothing. we didn’t even stay a night as accommodation was not what we booked, heating didn’t work and no wifi. we are still awaiting a refund.

as above

The surroundings are amazing, typical Tuscan landscape. The bed was comfortable.

We were alone in the whole place which could have been nice but the pool was not usable, no food available which is a disappointment for an agriturismo place, the place was not very clean and the absolute bare minimum in the kitchen. There is an oven but no oven dish so basically you can't use it. We were put in an accommodation by the road as the main one wasn't available. None of this was mentioned on the booking site when we booked. I think the place could be amazing in season, when the staff is actually there to look after you, the pool is open and food is available.

The space, gardens, and views around us were beautiful. Good for kids to explore. By car you can be in Siena in 10 minutes which is really nice.

Nothing major. Extensible sofa was not that comfortable but we ended up using only the bed in the bedroom.
