A slightly mixed picture....a lovely house and beautiful grounds/pool, and a fantastic location to explore the wonderfully rich local area....but for a family with children it took time to relax following rather a set of draconian warnings on arrival of the potential for penalty charges during your stay.... ("the doors cost $X000 to replace, the sinks cost $Y000"...."you cannot sit here, don't sit there"...."if you break a plate it will cost $X, if you loose a spoon it will cost $Z"...and don't even think about leaving the cushions outside..!). Appreciate that the owners are understandably proud and protective of a loverly house, but it wasn't a warm welcome....that said, we certainly managed to have a lovely couple of weeks...(and avoid any breakages/charges....!)

Die Ferienwohnung liegt postkartenmotiv - like auf einem kleinen Hügel, umgeben von Weinbergen, Olivenhainen und Ackerland. Direkt nebenan ist eine gut besuchte "Bar" wo sehr gut gegessen werden kann. Zum einkaufen nach Castelfiorentino sind es ca. 4km über. Hier empfiehlt sich das Auto.
Die Wohnungen sind sehr großzügig an Fläche ausgelegt. Ausgestattet mit allem notwendigen und sehr sauber. Keine Klimaanlage, brauchte es aber auch nicht obwohl wir tagsüber 35-38°C hatten ist es in der Nacht angenehm abgekühlt.
Küche mit Gasherd, Kühlschrank & Spülmaschine und kleinem Tisch-Backofen.
Achtung: keine Kaffeemaschine, nur Espressokocher für den Gasherd oder Bodum-Presse, kein Wasserkocher, kein "richtiger" Backofen.
Der Ansprechpartner (Lorenzo) war sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit.
Pool ist sehr sauber und mit Schattenplätzen und genug Liegen ausgestattet.
In Poolnähe gibt es auch einen Holzkohlegrill.
Fazit: Sehr zum empfehlen ! Wir würden die Wohnung wieder buchen.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The holiday apartment is postcard-like on a small hill, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and farmland. Right next door is a busy bar where you can eat very well. For shopping in Castelfiorentino it is about 4km away. The car is recommended here.
The apartments are very spacious in terms of space. Equipped with everything necessary and very clean. No air conditioning, but we didn't need it, even though it was 35-38°C during the day, it cooled down pleasantly at night.
Kitchen with gas stove, refrigerator & dishwasher and small table oven.
Attention: no coffee machine, only espresso maker for the gas stove or Bodum press, no kettle, no "real" oven.
The contact person (Lorenzo) was very friendly and always helpful.
Pool is very clean and has shaded areas and enough loungers.
There is also a charcoal grill near the pool.
Conclusion: Highly recommended! We would book the apartment again.

We stayed for one week at the La Capanna apartment in San Gimignano and it was wonderful. The setting is perfect, just a 10 minute (or less) outside the old city walls, but in vineyard territory so you feel as if you are in the countryside. There is a pool which is shared by the other apartments on the site, but was virtually deserted most of the time we were there, so we had it almost to ourselves. And the family which runs the site are very friendly and helpful. I can well recommend staying there.

Tutto molto bene, la Signora Paola attenta e disponibile! Pulizia delle zone esterne ed interne molto accurate. Unico suggerimento: sarebbe utile avere una anche piccola zona cucina al piano terra adiacente alla bellissima veranda. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente. Grazie

Only suggestion: it would be useful to have even a small kitchen area on the ground floor adjacent to the beautiful veranda. We will definitely return. Thank you
