Villa Carol is situated on a hill full of vineyards and cedars and olive trees. From the garden, we had a breathtaking view of the lush Tuscan hills and of the town of Poggibonsi, which is a mere 2 km from the property. We had a rented car (highly recommended) and we explored nearby Sienna, Florence and the medieval town of San Gimignano.

Our hosts, Lucia, Gabriele and their 5 year old daughter Caroline are delightful people, were very respectful of our privacy and our needs. They were very eager to be of assistance. Lucia is an excellent cook and we asked her to cook a special “Tuscan” dinner for us. Despite our various allergies and dietary restrictions, she managed to create a fabulous feast. I strongly recommend that you try her cooking. It is better than that of many highly rated restaurants. Gabriele painted many of the paintings found in the villa and he has many interesting stories.

The infinity pool is inviting. The rooms are extremely comfortable and each room has its own bathroom. Although we were only four, the villa can easily accommodate 6-8 people. Our hosts live on the upper floor and their presence is hardly noticeable. We had a separate entrance to the villa and the layout makes it such that we had privacy. Shopping for food is easy.  A mere 1.5 km away, there is a superstore called PAM and in it one can find everything than one needs.

The only downside to this little paradise is the fact that the entrance alley from the front electric gate is at a sharp angle and I managed to scratch my rented car’s door the first time. Now that you are aware, this should not happen to you.  One other advice: take a GPS because navigating the road signs and the round points can be challenging.

Final comment: All four of us loved our stay at Villa Carol, have fond memories of our hosts and we would be ready to back there in a heartbeat! 

I thought this was an adventure site...thats just a hotel room!

If thats the most adventurous you are good luck to you.

You should of just send the hotel an email..
