Details Recensie:
Podere Lo Spadino was so much more than we expected. We rented the villa for 14 days, had our wedding for 40 guests there and remained for our honeymoon. The house is exactly as pictured, the views are breathtaking. The owner of the house, who I called Babo, which is italian for dad, during the entire trip is one of the most amazing people we have ever met. He explained to us, through his daughter Barbara's translation, everything about the land, how he built the house brick by brick over the course of his life, it was very moving. He spends his entire days taking care of the gardens and making sure everything is in perfect shape. Barbara, the daughter, and Antonella his wife are the sweetest people. They gave us complete privacy, if you choose not to interact, you won't even feel their presence. The entrance to the rental part of the house is completely separate and they move like ghosts around the property. You can sit in the garden and lay by the pool without ever being interrupted. However, we fell in love with this family and their beuatiful lifestyle so we ended up knocking on their door and inviting them for wine on many occasions. Oh, the wine!! Both the red and white wine from Lo Spadino are fantastic, we tasted many Brunellos which couldn't compare. Want some honey, fresh salami, delicious prosciutto, amazing olive oil? Just knock on their door and they'll send up whatever you like. Our stay at Lo Spadino, for all eight of us who rented and our wedding guests, felt like something out of a movie. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the tuscan way of life. On our last day, I cried all morning and when we went to say goodbye to the family, all three sobbed and hugged us. I hope to go back many times and bring our children there.
