The property is a beautiful old farmhouse, it is more rustic than I was expecting but was overall very nice. The views and location were unbeatable. We loved being able to go into Buonconvento for the store or up to Montalcino for lunch/dinner/wine, about the same distance to both. Also tons of wineries to try right there in the area, we did a tour one day and ventured out and then did one day stopping at two nearby wineries.
I wish we had been a little more aware of what amenities were on site - for example they ask you not to use the inside towels for the pool but there are not pool towels, or there is a BBQ grill but no charcoal or a lighter on site. While the inside of the house is rustic we found the kitchen easy enough to prepare 3 meals in and enjoyed having a large table to eat together nightly. My only other comment (and what proved the most problematic) would be that all the screens on the inside windows have either large gaps at the bottom or holes in the screens, we got ravaged by mosquitoes and ended up spraying down with bug spray nightly before going to sleep. I would definitely rent the house again if just the windows were fixed, the rest is completely tolerable. We got to chat with our neighbors in the apartment below who had been renting this house for 9 years and were prepared with charcoal (which they graciously shared), towels, pool floats, and citronella candles - apparently this is not a new problem :)
