What a fabulous property. The location is perfect, just outside of the main town so that you get amazing views, and walking distance to a beautiful traditional Brunello vineyard. The pool is also the perfect place to cool off after a long day of walking (or drinking).
Fabio the host could not be any nicer. From the moment I arrived he went above and beyond. Recommending restaurants, I asked about wineries (he even called his friend down the road and got me in 45mins), he told me where to get a message. The next day I texted about where to buy an iPhone charger as I left mine at the airport, he brought one straight down. The thing that stuck with me most is every morning I had a cappuccino and then an espresso. One morning I had my cappuccino but had to run to jump on a work call, he wandered by later in the morning and asked if I would like my usual espresso now. I have worked in hospitality and customer service for almost 20 years and this level of attention to detail and attentiveness isn’t easy to find. I even woke up on my birthday to a home made brownie with a candle. I can’t recommend Il Burellino enough. If I ever come back to Tuscany, this is where I will be staying.
