relaxation between nature and history

Set in the Tuscan countryside between Siena and Grosseto, the Grancia del Santo is a small corner of paradise located in the Natural Oasis of the Lower Merse, bordering the Ancient Baths of Petriolo. The panorama extends over valleys of olive trees, chestnut trees, cork oaks, elms and brooms, where Maremma cattle, horses, deer, roe deer and wild boar roam freely.
The apartment has been restored maintaining the sobriety and respect for tradition;
this setting allows to restore body and spirit while enjoying a restful stay, in contact with nature.

Beautiful location
We stayed here for 2 weeks with our family and we had an amazing stay. The surroundings where beautiful and from our cottage we had an panoramic view over the pool and the valley behind. The pool has very nice and clean water. Also a big plus is that there is airconditioning in the accomodations. The owners were very nice & friendly and if you had a question they responded very fast. Every morning you had the opportunity to buy fresh vegetables at the reception for a low price, you could also buy home-made olive oil and red wine. A thing to keep in mind is that if you want to do some grocerie shopping the supermarket that is the most close is a drive of half an hour.

Wonderful Time at Il Santo
We spent a wonderful week at Il Santo. We enjoyed the location, the equipment of our appartment so close to the swimming pool, the friendliness of all staff, the very nice food and the swimming pool with its unique view on the surroundings. It was also an ideal point to go visit the many wonders of Tuscany.

Preis Leistung ok, nicht alles inbegriffen wie beschrieben, Ausstattung sehr mager...
Der Landsitz liegt schön auf einem Berg und ist durch die naheliegende Schnellstrasse grundsätzlich gut angebunden. Durch die fehlenden Straßen in Ost-West Richtung sind allerdings immer große Umwege zu fahren um in einen größeren Ort zu kommen. So liegen Montalcino und Montepulciano nur wenige Kilometer Luftlinie entfernt, sind aber nur durch lange Fahrzeiten > 40 min. zu erreichen. Auch der nächst größere Supermarkt ist 30 min. entfernt. Wer sich selbst genug ist kauft einmal ein und hat alles (bei Brot aber eher schwierig), wer aber mal auf ein Glas Wein oder zum Abendessen gehen will muss länger fahren. Von der Ausstattung her war laut Beschreibung eine Klimaanlage und Internet inkludiert, sowie eine Kaffeemaschine. Vor Ort war die Kaffemaschine nur auf Nachfrage zu bekommen und dann verschimmelt, Internet funktioniert im öffentlichen Bereich gut und war durch unsere Lage nah am Pool gut nutzbar. Die Klimanalage war aber nicht inludiert sondern nur gegen Aufpreis zu bekommen!!! Küchenutensilien waren sehr limitiert, so gab es nur wenig Besteck, kaum Töpfe und z.B. keinen Flaschenöffner --> Kochen machte hier leider keinen Spaß. Die Leute waren sehr nett, wenn auch die Rezeption nicht oft zu den beschriebenen Zeiten offen war. Vielleicht "the italian way", wenn man mal was braucht eher lästig. Bei der Abreise war das Personal sehr kulant und wir durften am Abend auschecken, und morgens früh fahren. Mit dem Müll war sehr vorsichtig umzugehen, sonst sind tausende Ameisen und Wespen in die Küche eingefallen - sicher kein Versäumnis der Betreiber, nur ein Hinweis an dieser Stelle. Der Pool ist sehr schön, leider aber nur mit Badekappen zu benutzen, was Ihn mir sehr unattraktiv gemacht hat - meiner Tochter war das natürlich ganz egal, also wieder eher als subjektiv zu bewerten. Im Vergleich zu vorherigen Toskana Urlauben auf stets liebevoll hergerichteten Landsitzen vielleicht etwas spartanischer, was per se ja noch nicht schlecht sein muss. So war aber z.B. das Bettgestell an der Kopfseite nicht aus rustikalem Holz wie aus den Bildern zu vermuten, sondern aus einer Blechnachahmung in Holzoptik - auch nicht schlimm, nur waren hier abstehende Blechteile die fast das Kopfkissen und eventuell darunter positionierte Arme angeschlitz hätten. Sicher ein nicht repräsentatives Detail, hat aber genervt. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Urlaub auf einem etwas isolierten Landsitz, auf die Ausstattung vor Ort sollte man sich aber nicht verlassen!

Schöne Unterkunft
Pool sehr schön und sauber, Möbel etwas in die Jahre gekommen, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Eigentümer, Wohnung sauber, Schlafcouch sollte ausgetauscht werden
