The apartment was situated well for visiting Siena ,San Gimigiano and Florence, nearby village of Radda has lovely restaurants and several others in easy reach.

this is set in a lovely garden, pool is small but deep, a very relaxing spot, and easy to climb via steps up to the town. The narrow streets are a challenger for the driver (you need a small car!) It proved to be the ideal place for a short break, to take in the spectacular scenery and sunshine of Tuscany. The room/apartments equipment is basic but adequate for a few days.

Casa Simona is a beautiful peacful and well equipped villa. The owners can't do enough for you and upon request of extra fans, they arrived on the same day with two new ones for us. The only problem was that it isnt toddler friendly so if you have a small child be aware its all stone steps and the high drops from surrounding (unfilled fences) Siobhan UK

We had a perfect couple of weeks at Villa Baldelli. The room was lovely and well equipped, the facilities were first class but above all the service and care we received from the staff was truly fantastic. This allowed us to have a thoroughly relaxed and indulgent time.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was exactly as pictured. The only comment I would make is that because of so many stairs it is not a place for people with alot of luggage or someone who is not strong enough to climb stairs multiple times a day since each room basically is on a different level. We enjoyed the small town atmosphere and also the ease to travel to Florence or to visit the small towns in the region.

La residenza "bastione" si è rivelata un luogo affascinate e suggestivo ove tornare la sera dopo aver viaggiato durante il giorno per la magnifica Toscana. Splendido il contesto del castello, ottima l'organizzazione.

Palazzo Rosadi is a beautiful villa on an incredible property with an excellent pool, great views of the Tuscan countryside, flowers, and well-kept grounds. The owner takes personal care to ensure that everything is set up in the best way. We had 5 small children in our group, and we had cribs, bed rails, high chairs, and everything else needed to make it a great stay. We loved the location - close and convenient to Monterchi but very secluded. I would love to stay there again.

Hallo, wij hebben in augustus 2011 twee weken in het blauwe huisje gezeten. Het weer was gedurende deze twee weken boven de 30 graden dagelijks. La Marronaia ligt ongeveer 2 km buiten het gezellige San Gimignano, het is daar Toscane op zijn best. Het is heerlijk plattelandsleven tussen de wijn- en olijfgaarden. De huisjes zijn ruim, en doelmatig ingericht. Er zijn maar drie appartementen, dus het is rustig. Er is een groot zwembad voor de nodige verkoeling. Ieder huisje heeft daarnaast buitenmeubilair. De Italiaanse eigenaren Silvia en Luigi wonen boven de appartementen met hun gezin, 2 honden en 13 katten. Ze zijn echt zeer gastvrij, we voelden ons er zeer welkom en thuis.

San Gimignano is niet alleen een leuke stad, maar een prima uitvalsbasis voor dagtochten naar Siena, Florence, Volterra, Lucca/Pisa, Chianti Classico streek en Montepulciano/Montalcino. Voorzieningen San Gimignano verder prima, ook aantal zeer goede restaurants en de wereldkampioen ijs maken, voor grotere supermarkten (SuperCoop, PAM) kun je in het nabije Poggibonsi terecht.

Als aandachtspunten willen wij meegeven dat je a. van buitenleven moet houden (en katten:) b. lopen naar San Gimignano is net te ver, let wel op dat parkeren in het dorpje een uitdaging is en c. als je in augustus gaat pas je programma aan op de warmte.
Wat absoluut een aanrader is zijn de wijnen van La Marronaia, die moet je echt proberen!

Conclusie: een zeer goede vakantie, wij zouden hier zeker nog een keer naar toe gaan.

Groeten,

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Hello, we have stayed two weeks in August 2011 in the BLUE house. The temperature during these two weeks was over 30°C every day. La Marronaia is located about 2 km outside the charming town San Gimignano, Tuscany where it's at its best. It's lovely rural life among the vineyards and olive groves. The houses are spacious with practical furnishings. There are only three apartments, so it is quiet. There is a large swimming pool for the necessary cooling. Each cottage also has outdoor furniture. Silvia and Luigi, the Italian owners, live above the apartment with their family, two dogs and 13 cats. They are really very hospitable, we felt very welcome and at home.

San Gimignano is not just a nice town, but a good base for day trips to Siena, Florence, Volterra, Lucca / Pisa, Chianti Classico region, Montepulciano / Montalcino. The facilities in San Gimignano also fine, even some very good restaurants and world champion ice cream makers, you can find larger supermarkets (super-scoop, PAM) in nearby Poggibonsi.

As points of attention we would like to say: 1) you need to like the outdoor life (and cats) 2) walk to San Gimignano is just a little too far, please note that parking in the village is challenging and 3) adjust your program according to the the heat if travveling in summer.
What we definitely recommend are the wines of La Marronaia- you should really try!

Conclusion: a very good holiday, we would definitely return.

Regards,

Peter - Rotterdam, NL
