Paradise in Tuscany
This magnificent villa and the hosts, Cristina and Simone, surpassed our expectations and made a blissful stay in beautiful San Gimignano. The 300+ year old home was clean, charming and authentic and the grounds were well maintained and serene. The views of the countryside were breathtaking! At our request, the hosts arranged for a chef, Patrizia, to come to prepare dinner on 3 evenings. She was delightful and used fresh produce and ingredients from her own farm in the multi-course meals she made. We cannot wait to return to this Tuscan paradise!

The house is amazing with picturesque views and wonderful space. The pizza oven was amazing! Simone and Cristina were quick to respond if we had questions, provided a wonderful book with information on wineries, restaurants, and much more in the area. Very peaceful spot and easy to get to local attractions. We all fell in love with the house and area! We all highly recommend this house for your stay in the San Gimignano area.

Close to tourist places and easy to travel to sites. The hosts were the best and the cooking class and food was incredible!! It is peaceful and the views are beautiful. I would recommend to others but note the house is aging and needs refresh, the air conditioners did not work well, but is authentic in many ways.

Gorgeous property!
We were lucky to stay in this beautiful villa for eight nights in June. The pictures do not do the property justice! The views from the patio are the perfect, dreamy Tuscany views and we had breakfast there every morning. Simone and Cristina are the perfect hosts; responsive and kind. We cooked at the house several evenings and found everything we needed in the kitchen. We even made the Florentine traditional dish Bistecca on the open fire in the outdoor grill. The villa is a short drive from beautiful San Gimignano where we had several lunches and did our grocery shopping. We are already thinking of our next trip to Italy and would absolutely stay at the villa again!

Perfect Tuscan vacation
We can’t say enough how Wonderful our experience was. The property is amazing with the best views. The host could not have been more accommodating. My father in law had pneumonia while in Italy and the host helped arrange portable oxygen for him from the local pharmacy. She even had me follow her to the pharmacy location. This was above and beyond helpful. The location is perfect. So close to Florence and Sienna. The town of San Gimignano is amazing. We will definitely stay there again.

Tuscan Countryside
What a wonderful countryside villa that Simone and his family have opened up and shared with the public! If you want authenticity and real of history and want to stay in an over 300 year old villa, this is the place for you! the property itself is stunning and the views are gorgeous. The interior and rooms have a very authentic feel and although not particularly new and upgraded, have all the modern conveniences you will need. We had Patrizia come and cook us an incredible meal (with food left over for the next night!), I'd highly recommend it. Simone had lots of great recommendations and was very attentive to our needs, even stopping by to check in one of the nights . This is the ultimate Countryside Tuscan getaway and we'd highly recommend it.

Wonderful property in great location
This really is a fantastic holiday property and was perfect for our group of two young families. The house is part of a larger property (the rest of the house reserved for the owners but not used whilst we stayed). It is set in beautiful grounds with a huge pool and terrace which we had exclusive use of. The house is spacious and has a lovely homely feel to it which helped us settle on quickly and feel very relaxed. The property is full of rustic features and charm and was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor BBQ and pizza oven where a bonus and the large outdoor terrace was perfect for dining throughout the day. The location was perfect for visiting nearby San Gimignano and it’s many restaurants but make sure to arrive early to secure a parking spot if visiting in the summer. The host, Simone, was really helpful throughout and easily contactable if needed. The supplied recommendations for restaurants and wineries were also great. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Wonderful, private villa in a great location with spectacular views
Simone and his family met us upon arrival, when they showed us around the house and grounds, and then checked us in. The villa was beautiful, infact better than we expected from the photos on VRBO. It is clear the family take great care to ensure the property is kept to a high standard and Simone remained at our disposal should anything come up, despite being on holiday himself. We did have to contact Simone following an unusual and strong summer storm which is not typical in the area and which caused damage to some items. Simone was quick to respond and the people who came to the villa to put things right were so nice and friendly, they were a delight to have round! We are sorry our stay was only a week and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Simone and Cristina for making us feel so welcome and for being so accommodating. Daniela, Claudio & Family

Perfect family home base for Tuscany day-trips with great pool and grounds
This house was everything we hoped for and more. We stayed 5 nights and used it as a relaxing home base for day trips throughout Tuscany. The location, just a few minutes outside of San Gimignano and less than an hour to several great Tuscan towns, was great. Simone and his wife were fantastic hosts--very attentive and welcoming and quick to respond to any questions that came up. They've done a great job with the grounds and amenities--incredible flowers everywhere and tons of different places to hang out and enjoy just being in beautiful Tuscany. The pool was a highlight of the trip for our family with 5 kids between 11 and 19. We were there in early June and though it was unheated it was really refreshing and felt great after a minute. We also arranged to have a chef, Patrizia, and translator come for a cooking lesson. It was a great introduction to Italian cooking and to get real and fun interaction with some Italian people. Overall, the house was perfect for us and we would definitely recommend it to any families looking for a beautiful, relaxing Tuscan home base.

Wonderful vacation in San Gimignano
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in San We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in San wGimignano! The house is quite beautiful and the grounds exceptional. Simone and Christina we welcoming and very helpful! Their family is lovely and we also enjoyed meeting Ollie. We had coffee on the terrace in the morning and cocktails in the evening. The view is outstanding- a short walk down the road toward the monastery and there is a breath taking view of San Gimignano. We explored the area with day trips by car and train- Sienna, Florence, Pisa, Livorno, Calle di Val D’Elsa and San Gimignano. We made dinner at home several evenings and found the grocery in Poggibonsi to be great with a great selection. We were only two couples but with 4 bedrooms the house can easily accommodate 4 couples or a family. Thank you for a memorable vacation in Tuscany! Gimignano!

The property was exactly as described only with more charm. It had the feeling of a farmhouse which has been gradually renovated and converted over many years to produce an idyllic holiday home in the heart of this most bucolic region.

Stunning villa in the Tuscan hills
We had an unforgettable week in this charming farmhouse high just outside San Gimignano. The views were spectacular and the surrounding countryside some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Communications with the helpful owner, Simone, made arrival and departure very straightforward. We arrived very late but were still met by Simone’s niece, Viola, who showed us around. The villa itself was comfortable and well equipped and had plenty of room for the five of us. The welcome bottle of wine and fruit were a nice touch too. But it was the pool area and gardens which were really outstanding and we spent many happy hours there. Day trips from the villa were very easy. We went to San Gimignano (5 mins), Siena (45 mins), Volterra (30 mins) and wine tasting near San Gimignano itself. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely property.

Wonderful property near San Giminiano
We had a wonderful time in Simone and Cristina's villa. We were their first customers for 2020! They welcomed us and explained everything about the house. It has some Tuscan rustic charm, which reminded me of the house my parents used to rent in Lucca when I was a kid. It does have all the comfort you need: AC on the second floor, very well stocked kitchen, plenty of storage room. The garden and pool are fantastic: the pool is very big, and the view breathtaking. It's a very quiet environment and easily accessible. Simone arranged for a chef, Patrizia, to come several nights and prepare dinner for us. All the produces were from her garden and she treated us with Tuscan specialties. The veal rollatine and pesto lasagna were out of this world! We enjoyed dinner al fresco. Simone was very good at communicating with us when we had questions. I would highly recommend this property!

Great villa stay for two couples
We were two couples traveling through Italy staying at multiple places. We enjoyed our time at Simone and Cristina. They met us to orient us to the property. It is as advertised. Its a beautiful villa setting with all the rustic charm that you would expect with the conveniences you want. We enjoyed the use of the pool, yard, patio, and all the amenities in the property. We used the wood oven outside to make our first dinner of arrosticini and sausages. Our hosts arranged for an in house catered dinner by Laura, who has worked in the restaurant In Fabbrica in Florence (in a silver factory). She brought the perspective of her mother's cooking with her experience in restaurants. It was a delightful way to spend an evening. We were only 10 minutes from San Gimignano to see the town and get supplies. The house is large with four bed rooms and could house 9 people comfortably. All in all this was an excellent stay. Our hosts were gracious and attentive to our needs.

Beautiful Tuscan Villa
We had a fabulous holiday at Simone's villa - the pool was lovely and the views from the terrace were stunning. We were a family party of 7 (5 adults and 2 children) and enjoyed the flexibility of dining areas - outside, kitchen or dining room. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with crockery and utensils and the coffee machine was a big hit too! We enjoyed the local area and had a fabulous meal at the local Casalchino restaurant, which we highly recommend visiting. The only real downside was the mosquito bites, which were particularly viscous this year! We would highly recommend this villa and Simone and his family were very friendly and helpful.

Traditional Italian villa with amazing pool and views over Tuscan Hills
Great stay at special property. Simone was fantastic with arrangements handover very prompt and continued to be available for help even paying a parking ticket for us, that we reimbursed him for. Nothing was too much. It is not modern but traditional and had a functioning kitchen, but great outdoors space. More than enough for two families totalling 9. Only downside is bbq did not work properly, was too small regardless and the pizza oven looked as though hadn't been used for a long time. It would be fantastic if there was a quality bbq and a clean and functioning pizza oven. These were the only downsides. Very close to San Gimignano 3 miles away. Siena and Firenze day trips between 40 and 60 minutes drive away. Thoroughly recommend.

A wonderful Tuscan Villa
My wife & I stayed four (4) weeks at Simone’s family’s Tuscan Villa & had a wonderful time. The property is situated overlooking vineyards & olive groves with spectacular views. Two miles from San Gimignano, the Villa is a perfect location for day trips to San Gimignano, Florence, Sienna, Volterra, Pisa, Lucca, etc. We used the pool practically every day & enjoyed our meals outside on the deck with a wonderful sunset view. Simone recommended a local chef, Patricia, who both prepared our evening meal & cleaned up afterwards. Patricia also gave cooling lessons twice during our stay. The Villa was clean & stocked with staples. We had an opportunity to meet Simone & his family. They were very welcoming & accommodating. Both my wife & I & our guest couples highly recommend the Villa. We couldn’t have been more pleased!

Wonderful place to relax and see Tuscany
The home is set in gorgeous countryside, next to a thousand mile pilgrim's route from Canterbury to Rome. The landscaping is perfect, and the panoramic views are idyllic. About a 2 mile walk to San Gimignano, and maybe an hour drive to Florence or Sienna. Instead of driving, we took a train from the nearby town of Certaldo, which was very convenient. Be warned that the road is steep and rough, so you want to rent a suitable car.
