Thank you for feedback on Villa Cignano. its a great home, with very special views. The caretakers are a local mother and daughter and do a great job in managing the house and grounds as our clients. The owners have been trying to convince them to improve their english but they just smile and say that they just do fine with our clients. Thats tuscans for you, pragmatic and to the point. I am sorry about te water supply, it has not rained here for nearly 6 months, great to see that between TN&M and Nuziatina and her daughter the problem was resolved very quickly. All the roads in the area east of Siena are unpaved roads, maintained by the local authorities and they have no intention of paving them. They say that its healthier for nature and it slows the traffic down. Also saves lots of money and as long as you take your time, and watch out for the bumps and dust, its even fun. If you decide to return to Villa Cignano o another of our properties in the future we do offer a 5% price reduction to all our returning clients. Best wishes. Simon Ball.
