We have stayed in many tenutas in Italy and were attracted to this one by the online photos and descriptions. We were not prepared, however, for the stark, dry setting and overdone security system here, which gave our stay a sterile, unfriendly feeling. The rooms are in small stone houses located some distance from the main house where the owners live, who are protected by a locked door to the lobby. The room was new and impeccably clean, but had only one small window & was dark inside. Wifi did not work in our room, so we had to sit outside on the narrow stone entrance in the hot sun to use it--very uncomfortable. The website said dinner would be prepared at the tenuta, which is one reason we didn't mind its remote location, but when we asked about this, the wife said it was not possible & gave us names of a couple of restaurants about 20 minutes away. She said it may be possible the following night and she would let us know. She never did, so we were left hanging. On the positive side, the breakfast was fabulous with an amazing array of homemade cakes, fresh fruit, juice, etc. Wish we could have tried the dinner!
