The landlords are very nice and friendly, they speak very good English. Surprisingly, we were welcomed with drinks and a small snack and our own olive oil on arrival, and on departure we were presented with a basket of Tuscan sausage specialties. In between they brought us a cake. We have never experienced such generosity anywhere. The house is beautifully situated on a ridge, away from the village. That's why you shouldn't forget anything when shopping. There were beautiful walks with the dog through fields, vineyards and olive groves possible. The garden including pool and large covered patio / dining area is very nice. From the garden you have a beautiful view of San Miniato and the surrounding hills and mountains. Fresh herbs (basil, sage, thyme and rosemary) for cooking were readily available in and around the house. A very nice detail. We spent a very nice time in "La Beccaccia" and can definitely recommend the house!!!!
