We had a wonderful stay at this lovely property with our adult children. The house worked very well for us as it is actually two apartments, an upstairs and a downstairs, meaning we all had lots of space and the kids had privacy. It had a great sociable space for dining outside. It has two kitchens both well stocked for our needs. The mosquitoes can be a problem (we visited in September). Take lots of repellant. The house was well stocked with plug in anti mosquito devices in every room but you need to get your own refills, readily available in all the local supermarkets. It was located much nearer to San Gimignano than we had expected, only a 10 - 12 min walk. Uphill on the way there but still not onerous. It meant no worries about parking and we could all enjoy wine with dinner when we were eating out and then have an easy walk back. It is located in a lovely country setting even though it is so close to the town with large grounds and olive groves to wander around, roughly 10 acres. The views over the Tuscan countryside are stunning, particularly from the pool area. The owners Vittorio and Marina are delightful, very eager to ensure we enjoyed our stay. They live in a separate property on site but are very mindful of guests privacy. They offered a number of helpful suggestions regarding things to do and the best places to park in Siena and Florence. We needed to access some medical services when we were there and again they were very helpful, even offering to drive us to the facility. We have been trying to learn Italian and they were also very willing and patient allowing us to practice our Italian on them although they do both speak English. Overall a great place to base yourself if you want to explore Tuscany from one convenient location, delightful and helpful owners included.
