Grano Apt With Pool Near Volterra

The staff were so kind, and the location worked really well for getting around. We had a wonderful time visiting Cecina, Follonica, San Gimignano, Siena, and Volterra, and we also found a lovely river where you can swim, “masso delle fanciulle.” Beautiful!

The pool and garden looked neglected, and quite a few basic things were missing. For two people, the bathroom had just one bottle each of shampoo and shower gel, with no soap at the sink. I had to take two chairs from the dining room to put our suitcases on. The apartment room’s size and cleanliness weren’t really the issue, but the place felt rather makeshift, especially compared with other B&Bs, hotels, and farm stays I’ve visited. I’m surprised by the 4.7 rating, which, along with the reviews, led me to book. There’s plenty of room for improvement.

Silvia was welcoming and attentive, always ready with information and helpful with what her guests needed. The pool is spacious, beautiful, and well cared for, with peaceful natural surroundings. Our apartment was exceptionally clean, among the cleanest places I’ve stayed. We had a wonderful time and would gladly choose it again for a future vacation. Highly recommend.

The pool was a real bonus, and we enjoyed our stay enough to plan on coming back. The beds were very comfortable, and the apartments felt fresh and spotless. Silvia manages this farmhouse in the Tuscan hills with a smile and is always available to guests.
