Residence Il Ciliegio

A really pleasant place, Michele's troubleshooting promptness led us to spend two wonderful days in this residence. Nice and very clean. The kitchen is well equipped, the pool large and with a spectacular visit. Sono anche pet friendly!!! The small village is equipped with everything: pharmacy, butchers, supermarkets and 5 restaurants. We tried the Sixth Canto (level) and the Course. Both really good. In half an hour you arrive in Siena, Grosseto or Follonica. Strategic point to visit Tuscany. Torneremo sicuramente!! Thank you very much.

Spent a week here as part of Cook, Eat, Discover. Very charming and really felt part of a Tuscan village. Apartments were nice and well equipped although we didn’t know how to use some items, like the coffee brewer. No air conditioning and it was hot in July but the small, portable unit allowed enough cooling at night. Views were phenomenal and enjoyed the pool when we got too hot. Loved the village.

We have visited Il Ciliegio several times now. It is located in Roccatederighi, a rather sleep town away from the hustle and bustle of much of the Tuscan tourism yet you can easily tour many interesting locations from here. The town itself has a few shops for food etc including a terrific green grocers, butchers and local speciality shops. There is also a small coop. The town has two or three very good restaurants and an excellent pizzeria. They are all within 3-4 minutes walk from the accommodation. The accommodation is in a large converted manor house sitting just outside the old town on the slopes of the hills. This gives the rooms and especially the outside areas phenomenal vistas stretching to the coast. There is a terrace seating area with BBQ facilities which is lovely to sit and enjoy a lunch or drink. The pool is lovely and tranquil, with the back drop to the town providing interesting local interludes! The town does put the pool area into the shade around 6 pm but that is a good time to head for a shower and evening meal. Our room was on the first floor and was essentially a studio flat. It was decorated in a traditional style in keeping with the property and it was spotless clean. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, sufficient for a simple evening meal although we always eat out. There are all the basic utensils and coffee pot etc. There is not AC but the building has thick walls which are very effective in controlling the temperature. The bathroom is well furnished, spotless and towels provided. We slept well every night and whilst you are woken occasionally by cockerels are farm dogs it is part of the rural setting. In all the accommodation is clean and pleasant, the pool area has beautiful views and the location is perfect for walking out to an evening meal. We will undoubtedly be back.
