Review Details:
This is an absolutely magnificent property run by a delightful family that could not have been more attentive to us. The villa sits on a beautiful property with pool, lawns, gardens and walkways and a stunning view of San Gimignano, which is a five minute drive or a 45 minute walk away (often uphill so great for morning exercise). The house itself is beautifully renovated with every possible convenience including flat screen TV, designer kitchen, sauna, gym equipment, and up-to-date bathrooms, while at the same time maintaining the charm of earlier centuries, with moldings, grating, French doors and windows, a huge dining room for family meals, a comfortable living room with an old brick kiln, and a breakfast room for morning coffee and evening backgammon. Gabriele and Lucia made us an extraordinary meal one night with the best pasta of our trip and Florentine steaks grilled on the outdoor barbecue, local wine and charcuterie, and cakes and dessert - a perfect family meal, very reasonably priced. We were 11 in total and everyone felt comfortable, with plenty of room for large gatherings as well as alone time. The pool and surrounding area is gorgeous with a shimmering view of San G. We had an absolutely fantastic week and can't wait to return.
