Hard working agriturismo
First of all, the family are very welcoming and very hard working. Unfortunately I think the apartment is really overpriced. We paid nearly the same amount for one week at Tulipano that we paid for two weeks at a wonderful, light, airy and very spacious apartment near Pienza. So we arrived at Tulipano full of high expectations. Unfortunately Tulipano is very dark and rather cramped with only an uncomfortable sofa bed and dining chairs to sit on when inside the small communal space. And this really irritated when we had to retreat inside on a number of occasions when the weather was unseasonably cold and while the local farmer sprayed his vines with pesticide. This spraying continued for nearly the whole week, but because we were out most days we missed most of it. I guess we were just unfortunate, but that is when you want your apartment to be spacious and comfortable. The apartment really doesn't have enough cups and plates, and we were constantly washing up. The owners were working constantly on the property doing things like cutting grass with petrol engine strimmers, sawing wood and grinding metal with power tools. Maybe this was because they were preparing for the summer season, but nevertheless it wasn't conducive to a relaxing atmosphere. On the plus side, the pool area is very nice (when pesticide wasn't being sprayed by the farmer).
