Apartment 45 May 2008

If you are seeking peace and tranquility, I would reccommend staying at the Borgo.
The apartment was very clean and well maintained with personal touches added to the bedroom and living room. The Borgo is so peaceful and beautifully kept, it was wonderful to open the shutters and windows on a morning and lie in bed listening to the morning call of the birds in the trees. Swimming pools are excellent with lots of space and good loungers.
A car is reccommended if you want to see the real rural rolling hills of Tuscany, the views are breathtaking especially on the journey to San Gimignano and Volterra. The olive groves, vineyards, the wild poppies, lemon, orange and cherry trees and not forgetting the Cypress trees are all familiar sites.
Florence is a beautiful City but you probably need about 3 days there to really appreciate everything. The food there is to die for but of course with any city, pricey.
The owners are very helpful and are only an email or phone call away to answer any questions or give any advice. They sent a map, directions and places of interest long before we were due to take our holiday which was very useful as we were able to read up on places of interest. A Tuscan hamper can be arranged for you.
Anyone wanting a holiday "away from it all" I would certainly reccommend this apartment.
