MANGIATOIA

We had the pleasure of spending 7 nigths at this property and it was fantastic. Great accomodation & comfort, breathtaking sceneries and lovely & charming host (Serena). It is also centrally located, perfect for day trips touring Tuscany. Highly recommanded to anyone interested in staying in heaven for a little while !

My Husband Jon and I visited Tuscany for the first time at the end of October. We found I Melograni on the internet, and decided to book it based on location and the great reviews. It was FANTASTIC! We had such a lovely time. The place was clean, warm, and accessible. We had everything that we could need right at our fingertips. It is perfectly located for many different day trips. We particuarly enjoyed Lucca and Siena. The owner of the property,Serena, is as lovely as her home is. She was so very helpful and patient. She helped us plan our days and nights. Her suggestions for eating out were perfect. She made us feel right at home. Serena thank you for having such a lovely home. Jon and I really enjoyed staying there and getting to know you. We definitely will bring the whole family back next time. Maybe by the time we come back, you will have discovered another secret room!
Thank You Again,
Jon and Kimberly Wallace

This place is flat out wonderful! Not only is it clean and neat and lovingly cared for, but look around you! Every little detail is done to perfection. In short, it's just what you want a farmhouse apartment in a 1st century Tuscan hillside hamlet to look like. Yes, the photos posted here are absolutely accurate. If you stay here, you will want a car so you can explore all the famous hill towns as well as Chianti wine country, all of which are easy day trips. We especially enjoyed Volterra and Radda In Chianti. The nearby town of Poggibonsi is not good for sightseeing, but provides you with an excellent supermarket (the Coop) and easy access to roads leading everywhere. Serena Brandi is on the premises every day to guide you around the area, providing very helpful information on parking, tours, restaurants, etc. (Her English is very good, by the way.) She totally understands customer service and obviously enjoys being the proprietor of this lovely place. She might even give you a whiff of her own homegrown and heavenly olive oil. On the sad day when we left I Melograni, I promised Serena I would write her a glowing review and recommend it to everyone. And indeed I do! Thank you Serena for a memorable week in Tuscany!
