Fattorie Santo Pietro

The apartment is very clean and well laid out, the grounds are immaculate, and although it was too cold to go swimming, the pool looked fantastic. The food in the restaurant was wonderful. The views across Tuscany were faultless, and it is well placed for visiting lots of towns, the nearest being Certaldo (alto), San Gimignano and Volterra.

The kitchen could have done with more storage space for food items as this is a self catering apartment, and perhaps a supply of the basics (eg salt, sugar, coffee, olive oil) would really have helped, especially if only staying for a few days. The final mile or so of road is what is known as a 'white road', a loose association of potholes which have to be negotiated carefully - but this adds to the charm and secluded feel of the place...the one thing to note is that the restaurant (only open on certain days out of season) is about half a kilometer away from the apartments, along an unlit 'white road'. (So take a torch!!) Having said all that, we certainly will go back.
