We literally have adored this place and the house was very comfortable, well equipped, and simply warm and welcoming.
The views around Le Bagnaie are exceptionally beautiful and filled us with joy and peaceful emotions at every moment of the day: When opening the shutters in the morning, when going to the vegetable garden for picking up some delicious tomatoes or eggplants for our lunch, when at the pool in the afternoon or early evening, when looking at the sunset in the direction of San Giminiano and looking up at the shooting stars at night!
We enjoyed many going-outs, to Siena, San Giminiano, Volterra, Colle di Val DāElsa and, as a crowning point, to Panzano to the very special butcherās restaurant. We especially enjoyed the garden of Casa del Fico, a little paradise which invited to long hours of reading on the lounging chairs. We also had many walks in the immediate vicinity of the house, up to Fonterutoli, sparkled with encounters with deers and boars.
Jackie, Serena and Cosimo were all real treats. Jackie the manager made feel very much āat homeā, Serena, the cook prepared us feasts and Cosimo, the gardener, is delightful and charming and deserves the awards of the ā green palmsā!
We will come back even though we live so far away, with our sons and grand-children hopefully next times.
Our guests ( friends and family) join us in celebrating the āravissementā and we will all keep fond memories of these two weeks!
