The apartment was clean and roomy and the location was simply beautiful. The drive through the Tuscan countryside to reach Pomarance was wonderful and we wished we'd had more time to spend there. We had the breakfast offered by our attentive hosts (7 Euro each) and it was delicious and eaten in a gorgeous location. We made the short drive (25 minutes) to Volterra and enjoyed visiting that ancient city.
Right at the property, the apricots were ripe, the hay was being cut and baled, and the wheat field was waving in the breeze. The larger view was gorgeous as well, showing the typical Tuscan country side complete with vineyards and olive trees. We were a bit surprised to see a power plant in the distance, but in our view it didn't detract.
Practical items - we appreciated the well-furnished apartment with 2 bathrooms, which was perfect size for our family of 5 (all three of our children are young adults now). The pool and grounds were very well taken care of. We were bummed that the pool hours ended at 8pm, but it was a little too chilly for the pool after that time anyway. Our bed was VERY hard and I expected to be sore, but surprisingly slept very well. We were woken relatively early in the morning by the sounds of a rooster and of a tractor cutting grass somewhere on the property, but didn't mind. Grocery store was about 5-10 minutes away in Pomarance.
We'd definitely stay here again.
sSiamo stati in questo agriturismo per il ponte del 1 maggio. Ci siamo trovati molto bene, abbiamo soggiornato ai reucci, bello l'appartamento ed anche il panorama. L'agriturismo dispone di una piscina riscaldata dove abbiamo potuto fare il bagno. Ottime le colazioni e la cena nel piccolo ristorante a San Carlo, l'altro casolare dell'agriturismo che si trova a circa 500 metri collegato da una stradina interna. Assolutamente da consigliare. Grazie a Monica e Simona
I would highly recommend San Carlo. This was our first holiday in Tuscany and we were not disappointed with our stay at San Carlo. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We had breakfast every morning as we enjoyed the cakes so much. The evening meals we had were very nice and enjoyed sampling the Tuscan food. There are wonderful views of the Tuscan hills. We were made to feel welcome by all the family who run the property and will definitely go back again.
