  Old world rustic charm

  As part of a wine tasting tour by La Dolce Vita Wine Tours, I stayed 2 nights in this B&B in early June. The room was comfortable with an "old world" vibe that won me over. Take the room keys. These reminded me of an old movie from the '30's or '40's where you could look through the keyhole if the key was removed. It took a while to get used to, but in the end it was just part of the charm. The included breakfasts were good, not great. However, the tour operators had arranged to have the hotel cook us dinner one night. (I'm not sure if this is something they would normally do or not.) what we got was a very good shrimp with pasta and a roasted fish that everyone agreed was great! Very simple cuisine, done perfectly. These meals were provided inter patio of a little clubhouse separate from the rooms. This eating area was also where wifi was available. There was no wifi in the rooms. For some people that might be a problem, but for me it provided an opportunity to get out of my room into the country atmosphere of the patio and beautiful lawn. There is not much that is next to this B&B, which reinforces the rustic atmosphere. However, it it still within reasonable driving distance of the town of Bolgheri and the wineries.

  Great place

  What a great place. The website does not fully honour the place (I would recommend improving the website and load more pictures). We really enjoyed our stay. We rented a double room (Pievi) in the newly built dimore. The room was furnished with modern, nice local style. It provided plenty of space for 2 adults with 2 children. The large living room had a small cooking corner with all is needed to prepare a simple meal. We also had a nice garden with plenty of space to play and eat outside. The Podere is quite large. There is plenty of space to enjoy and for the children to play. The swimming pool is big and nice. The B&B is nicely located behind Marina di Castagneto (which I personally do not like) and is well connected to roads heading to the countryside or the rest of the coast. The walk to the beach is a good 20 minutes or you can take one of the bicycle provided. We were also pretty impressed by the quality of WIFI which was perfectly available everywhere. Last but not least the owners are very nice, smiley and available. Highly recommended
