We stayed as a family of 5 in Panieracci (Apt #11) for two weeks in July 2019. Essentially the setup consists of a main site (@ 156 Via Della Bonifica) which houses the main reception along with some apartments, a restaurant, pool, equestian centre and kids play park. Beyond the main site there are 2-3 satellite sites (one of which is Panieracci where we stayed) which are approximately 1-2 miles by road from the main area. Both Panieracci and Pompilia have a pool and play park. Panieracci also includes a coin laundry, and some donkeys, horses and pigs for you to make friends with :). The atmosphere of the whole place is great, mainly young(ish) families with children from babies to early teens. The "guest density" also feels right too, enough people to make it social but not so busy that you feel you're competing for space. All the sites have outdoor sofas and lazy chairs dotted all over the place. The main site hosts a number of evenings each week which generally focus on food (pasta, pizza etc), these are included in your accommodation price so in any given week you can expect 2-3 meals to be provided for your family. Each apartment has self catering facilities, ours had a gas top stove, fridge/freezer, microwave and kettle. The nearest shop is in Villamagna which is about 2 miles away, selling bread, meat, cheese, cereal milk etc. Panieracci Apt #11 has 3 bedrooms with one family bathroom, with one of the bedrooms also having a walkout balcony with its own table and chairs. Downstairs it has a single living/kitchen area which feels a little cramped for 5 but you tend to be outside most of the time. Most accommodation here does not have a TV but you can request one (they have a few TVs which they loan to guests). There is wifi at all sites and download speeds were good enough for Netflix streaming etc. There is no aircon in Apt 11 nor are there any fans, however we were able to purchase a couple of fans from a larger supermarket (Panorama @ Pontedera). There are selected apartments in Diacceroni that do have aircon. The weather in Tuscany in July usually sits around 31C however the first week of our two week stay clashed with a fairly intense heatwave (~37C) so not having aircon meant doing anything other than being in the pool pretty uncomfortable. The accommodation is well maintained and clean, but there's a little room for improvement, a lot of the lightbulbs in our apartment were blown and the insect screens on the doors and windows were falling apart. The staff were always happy to try and put things right where they could.I wouldn't advise drinking the tap water, so make sure you drop into a supermarket before you arrive. On the whole I really enjoyed my stay here, it struck the right balance between "getting away from it all" whilst still being social, the food is brilliant and the scenery here is breathtaking. In addition there a lots of great towns and villages to visit nearby if you get fed up of sitting by the pool (I recommend Volterra & Siena). I get a sense that the owner is ambitious and is continually looking to expand what the site has to offer, whilst this is to be commended I think they need to focus a little more on making sure what they already have is properly maintained and managed. In my opinion they're currently at the "perfect size". One point to note, Italy has a lot of petty crime, (and this isn't under the control of the owners of Diacceroni) so make sure your doors are always locked at night (burglaries do happen in these places even when the places are clearly occupied), and be careful of pick pockets when you're visiting the bigger cities and towns.
