Zeer mooie, rustige, zeer afgelegen omgeving. Vakantiewoning helemaal in orde en groot zwembad ter beschikking.
Voor GPS: geef 'localitata Ulignano' in, want Ulignano op zich bestaat ook (maar dit ligt net naast San Gimignano en is wel nog een 15-tal kms van de vakantiewoning!!!). Anders is het bijna niet te vinden, ongeasfalteerde toegangswegen!!
Voor een rustige vakantie, een aanrader.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very nice, quiet, very remote area. Holiday apartment just fine and large swimming pool available.
For the GPS: enter "localitata Ulignano" because there is also an Ulignano (though this is just next to San Gimignano and still some 15 km from the apartment !!!). Otherwise it is hard to find, unpaved roads!
For a quiet holiday, highly recommended.

We very much enjoyed our holiday at La Ripa. It is a nice recently renovated apartment, especially a large bathroom with separate shower and bath. The owners are very nice and helpful e.g. gave advise about places to visit and they let us taste some typical Tuscan products. They grow a lot of vegetables in their garden.
Florence is nearby and easy to visit by train.

We would like to stay in La Ripa again on our next holiday in Tuscany.

This is a beautiful apartment, beautifully decorated, and very handily situated for central Florence. Would recommend to anyone, and would like to return.

The owners are extremely friendly and the apartment's history fascinating.

A couple of downsides:

The bath is irritating: there is no plug, so you have to use it as a shower.

Very small kitchen, somewhat eccentrically equipped -- don't try elaborate cooking.

The mattress on the main double bed has seen better days: is quite uncomfortable.

We booked this property very esaily and quickly through Easyreserve who were very efficient.
The property was really first class and in a very central position. Extremely clean and comfortable. A very good base for travelling around Tuscany. Sienna and Assisi close and Florence 1 hr drive and Rome 2hr drive.

De feedback die gepubliceerd stond op de website was niet overdreven. Villa Miccia is een ruime aangename woning met een jacuzzi die ook nog werkt ook en altijd warm gehouden wordt. Er waren geen onvoorziene extra kosten en zelfs de kookles was geheel gratis (inclusief de wijn). De eigenaars waren zeer aangenaam in omgang en het was leuk om kennis met hen te maken in hun "eigen omgeving" namelijk hun eigen woning waar de fantastische kookles gegeven werd door Marina. Het dorpje is klein en daarom ook net aangenaam terwijl alle hoofdnoodzakelijke winkels aanwezig zijn. Een auto huren is aangewezen indien je van plan bent om buiten het dorp de rest van Toscane te verkennen (een Fiat 500 was perfect voor de kleine bochtige bergwegen).

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The feedback published on the website was not exaggerated. Miccia is a spacious house with a nice jacuzzi that also works well and is always kept warm. There were no unexpected extra costs and even the cooking class was completely free (including wine). The owners were very pleasant to deal with, and it was nice to meet with them in their "home environment" because of their own home with the wonderful cooking class taught by Marina. The village is small and therefore very enjoyable but all the necessary shops are there. Hiring a car is recommended if you plan to go outside the village to explore the rest of Tuscany (a Fiat 500 was perfect for the small winding mountain roads).

We had a great time. Not too hot in the middle of August. If you choose to go in October, bring a sweater!

Had a great stay in the "Il Pergolo" appartment. We were very impressed with the standard of the appartment. Really enjoyed eating in the restaurant and the homemade pizzas delivered once per week to our room. My wife also enjoyed the cookery course one morning, and it was great that we could all sample the food at lunchtime. Owners are very friendly and go out of their way to help (e.g. delivering fresh bread from the local shop each morning). Only slight downside when we stayed were the number of annoying horse flies by the pool - not that the owners could do anything about this. Overall, would recommend the Villa Fabbroni and we shall definitely go back one day.

Our stay at the Poggiobello has been fantastic. This has been our favorite place during our trip in Italy. The villa is big, the pool deliciously quiet, the view on the thousand sunflowers fantastic, the owners are lovely people, the location ideal for daytrips, the place is perfect for family with kids. I'm telling you : THIS IS PARADISE.
