A great place to stay...does not get any nicer
Our stay here was just fabulous. The views from the villa windows of the countryside vineyards, olive groves and San Gimignano which was about 5 km away were breathtaking. This property is well kept, clean and just as beautiful as described in the ad. Ms. Patricia and son Camelio were generous, kind and the perfect hosts. We were greeted with pizza, bread, cheese and wine for a dinner on our arrival. There was an assortment of many dessert/candy treats and fruit in the living room which were thoroughly enjoyed. They also stopped by on several occasions during our 2 week stay to drop off wine or champagne along with a dinner supplement of homemade ravioli, lasagna, or homemade mozzarella cheese. All delicious! They also made the stay check out very easy and gave us a nice parting gift of biscotti and travel book.

Dream vacation in Tuscany
Everyone in our group loved the villa. The hostess Patrizia and her son met us at the house and were extremely gracious and generous from the first moment. We arrived late in the day and they had left us pizzas, cakes, pastries and chilled wine. We were so grateful. On the last night of our stay, Patrizia and her family prepared for us a remarkable feast of Italian specialties. Everything was delicious... the best food we had eaten in this region. They even baked a dessert to celebrate a birthday in our group. The weather was unseasonably warm during our stay and the host family left the pool open for us even though it would normally be closed in October. The location of the villa was only 15 minute drive from San Gimignano. We highly recommend this villa. Thank you!

Fabulous stay!
Everything about our trip to this villa was amazing. The house is lovely and the views are amazing! Patricia and her son Camillo are wonderful. They cooked for us, along with her grandmother on 2 nights and it was spectacular! I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. We will definitely return. A concierge service is offered and I highly recommend them as well. Luciano was our driver one day and he was great! He even met us for lunch the next day in San Gimignana and showed us around. Just a true Italian experience! I will recommend this villa to everyone!~
