Agriturismo San Martino

This is a review of the cooking class with Marta. While the class was lovely and we enjoyed being outdoors, we asked Marta several times via email, as she had promised us during the class, for the recipes for dishes we made together. She didn’t provide them or respond. The whole point of attending the class was to learn vegan recipes I could recreate at home in the US, but I don’t have even general recipes to work from. I would recommend a different vegan class that will allow you to enjoy what you learn to cook while you are back home.

Picked the accommodation based on the serenity advertised especially for the natural swimming pool and the opportunity to charge our EV. We booked the Casetta suite (suitable for a family of 4) with the living area + bathroom on the ground floor with the two bedrooms on the top floor, given the much appreciated privacy during our 4 nights stay. Staff were warm and friendly , our daughter had the opportunity to hang out with the rescue horses and the vegetarian/vegan set menu dinner put this place apart. We primarily rely on charging our EV for the daily trips but sadly the charging was unreliable. Free charging was offered during the day but it keeps dropping off. It was explained at checkout that the priority was for electricity usage on the property and what was left would then apparently will be directed for the 3 EV chargers which clearly wasn’t sufficient. The natural pool was a unique experience and we extremely enjoyed the water plants and wild life eco system surrounding the pool until the peacefulness was crushed when the 3 children of the( American sounding )guests decided to use it as a water park ! The continuous jumping and bickering went on for +2 hours while the arrogant and entitled parents failed to intervene. These 2 previous facts alone took away their selling points of a stress free stay to rejuvenate positive energy. Otherwise, we would have had a marvellous time.

Un luogo incantevole, dove fin dal primo istante ci si sente accolti da calorosi sorrisi e ci si lascia coccolare per l'intero soggiorno. La cucina è semplicemente straordinaria, con prodotti freschi a km 0, che esaltano ogni piatto. Durante la nostra permanenza, abbiamo avuto il piacere di partecipare a un corso di cucina, un'esperienza che abbiamo apprezzato particolarmente. Soggiornare in un posto così speciale potrebbe comportare un costo leggermente superiore rispetto ad altre opzioni, ma ne vale assolutamente la pena. È un investimento che ripaga con ricordi indimenticabili, che resteranno nel cuore per sempre. Magari vale la pena rinunciare a un'altra vacanza pur di concedersi qualche giorno in questo angolo di paradiso. Complimenti sinceri per aver creato un luogo così magico, con un'attenzione particolare alla sostenibilità, alla cucina sana e a quei valori che spesso si perdono nella frenesia della vita quotidiana. Grazie di cuore per i giorni meravigliosi che ci avete regalato, anche da parte dei nostri due cagnolini che da voi si sono divertiti un mondo :)

L’accoglienza e’ stata meravigliosa, persone gentili, sorridenti, vere. E’ l’amore per ciò che fanno che fa la differenza. La cucina e’ curata e molto creativa, la camera pulita, originale, la biancheria ha dei colori stupendi. Grazie!

Nous avons passé trois jours enchanteurs dans ce lieu exceptionnel en tous points. L'accueil est très chaleureux, l'équipe est très impliquée et toujours souriante et de bonne humeur : good mood est le mot d'ordre et ce n'est pas juste un slogan brodé sur les coussins ! Encore merci à Karin, Lorenza, Anna et le reste de l'équipe pour leur joie de vivre communicative. Nous sommes repartis gonflés à bloc. La literie est très confortable et la déco incroyable, faite de nombreux petits détails que nous avons découverts au fur et à mesure de notre séjour ; le tout créé par Karin à partir d'objets recyclés. La cuisine vegan, qui évolue au gré des fruits et légumes du jardin, est tout autant exceptionnelle. Nous recommandons vivement et reviendrons très certainement parce que "today is a good day" ;-)

Wij waren er een aantal dagen half september 2021. Een gezellige kamer, waar wij ons direct thuis voelden met schitterend uitzicht op Montepulciano op de heuvel aan de overkant. Rondom overigens ook schitterend. Zeer vriendelijke mensen: Karin als gastvrouw, Patricia en Julia voor ontbijt en avondeten. Het eten was vegeterisch, maar heb het vlees echt niet gemist. Julia kookte voortreffelijk! En Patricia was een leuke, informele en humoristische gastvrouw. Ook het ontbijt was prima, alhoewel een eitje af en toe of wat Italiaanse kaas ook best lekker was geweest. Alle lof voor het team van Fattoria San Martino! Wij hebben er bijzonder genoten.
