La Casetta di Brunello

The property is absolutely lovely, tastefully furnished and fresh. The apartment and the village offer a great location for day trips to Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena, Pienza, etc. The beds were incredibly comfortable with excellent linens.

Not important for us, but there is no living room or dining room as such, just a few chairs in the kitchen area.

The village quite.

It was too small and narrow. The pictures don’t reflect the reality. The location 30 min away from montalcino, it’s in village no grocery store near by. One local restaurant you can reach by walking.

The communication with the host was fantastic, and very, very clear. I got instructions and pictures, and they were available for questions. The place was immaculately clean. The Kitchen was very small, but functional, and every bedroom had a built-in quiet airconditioning.

Quite frankly, this place was presented by the Booking App as being in Montalcino, but in reality it was a small village, Castelnuovo dell'Abate, which is 9km down the road. It has 200 inhabitants, one small shop with a very limited supply, one small cafe, and one middling restaurant. There is absolutely nothing to do there, once you've seen the nearby abbey. On top of that the common area was too small to be called that. There was a small kitchenette, two nice bedrooms, but nowhere to sit comfortably or lounge a bit. The common area was more or less just the top of the stairs. Furthermore the beds themselves were mediocre, although the pillows were fine. The owner/host did communicate in a long message that we would be in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, but because Booking had presented the property as being in Montalcino (I guess the municipality) it was a bit of a drag. Lastly, the place was presented as having a terrace. In fact, it was a very narrow balcony. So while the view was great, this was misleading. All in all: I cannot recommend this place unless you want a very, very quiet holiday, and you don't need a common room / living room / spacious dining table.

The views are amazing. Responsive customer service.

If you use the bedroom on second floor you will have a steep hike up to the next floor, or down steep stairs (with unstable stair handle) to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Bed and pillows were not comfortable, duvets on both beds were dirty. Difficult to find. It reminded me of staying at summer camp

Amazing view, friendly village, and great value to explore the area
