A winning silent auction bid at a fundraiser led our group of four adult travelers to Siena and Villa Agresto courtesy of Italian Vacation Villas. Martin of IVV provided invaluable travel information and tips and offered advice on other locations as we travelled through Italy. His guidance made us feel as if we were seasoned Tuscan travellers.

Agresto was everything we wanted and more -- stylish, comfortable, and Italian Country. It was a perfect base for travel throughout Tuscany: Florence was an hour away by car, and we took one day to visit many quaint towns to the south. Siena was only ten minutes away. The house, nestled in an olive grove, had plenty of space for four adults and was well equipped. Staff at the property were ready with answers to all our questions. Each morning we enjoyed magnificent views as we took our coffee on the terrace. A great way to start the day. This property is definitely recommended by our group.
