Agriturismo Villa Isa

Located on the outskirts of Follonica (heading towards the mountains or Sienna) Villa Isa is a delightful family-run agriturismo with its own pool, olive groves and vineyards. The owner, Roberto, restored and rebuilt the entire place himself to the highest standards, and his diligence really shows. The apartments are all of a good size; they're clean, tastefully decorated and have very comfortable beds. The pool is unheated, but after a few hours of sunshine, you wouldn't notice. The local countryside is beautiful and the vineyards and olive groves surrounding the property really add to the rustic charm. After a couple of nights, we were asked to join the family for dinner, and were treated to a delicious 4-course meal, with accompanying wines, all produced on the premises. The welcome was so warm, it was more like visiting old friends, than staying at an agriturismo. Lovely people, delicious food and wine, and they gave us some olive oil to take away with us (which was also amazing)! I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
