The property sits on a hillside within a cypress-lined avenue, about 7 km from Piazza del Campo and Siena Train Station. A local bus stop is located right near the entrance and provides a direct route into Siena, making car-free city visits straightforward. Siena's historic centre, including Palazzo Chigi-Saracini and the National Picture Gallery, is a 5-minute drive. For day trips, Volterra, San Gimignano, Florence and Arezzo are all reachable within 50 minutes by car. Two supermarkets are within an 8-minute drive, and several well-regarded restaurants are also close by. The immediate area is peaceful, with views across the rural valley, and the property offers ample free parking with carports, making it well-suited for travellers arriving by car.

The property comprises three apartments, each with a private bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen including a flat-screen satellite TV, cookware, a washing machine, ironing facilities, and tea and coffee facilities. The living area includes a dining table and a sitting area, while the outdoor space features a terrace or patio with garden furniture. The first-floor apartment is the only one with air conditioning. Apartments are spacious, clean and furnished in a practical, countryside style. The pool and garden are shared only among guests staying in the three apartments, ensuring a calm and private atmosphere.

There is no restaurant or bar at Agriturismo Il Colle.
