Well worth it! The views are amazing! Location was great. We had trouble finding it, but I believe that was an us problem. I would stay here again. Luca and his staff were very kind, patient and helpful. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Historical Tuscany Hill town

My wife and I spent 3 wonderful days and nights in this classic, charming Tuscany town of towers. Our penthouse apartment couldn’t have been nicer with incredible views of the surrounding countryside and the surrounding town with medieval architecture. The apartment was spotless and decorated with regional appropriate tasteful furnishings. Our host, Luca was exceptional, helpful with pre trip planning and always available for questions or assistance during our stay. We would recommend this place without hesitation and return if we are fortunate enough to have the opportunity. One should know that you don’t reach such a space, a penthouse after all, without stairs which are manageable and so worth the climb. All the features, views and charm make this a 10 if ever there was!

Perfect view and location

Das Penthouse liegt perfekt mitten im Zentrum. Wenn man die 72 Stufen hinauf geschafft hat, kann man auf dem Balkon einen herrlichen Blick auf die Türme sowie aufs Umland genießen. Vermieter Luca ist auch top ! Sehr zu empfehlen ! LG Robert
