The first thing that hits you on arrival is the view, it is everything we expected from our Tuscan retreat. The apartment is spacious, functional and clean. There is plenty of storage and more than enough room for 2 people. As this is a studio apartment there is no washing machine or oven, only 2 hobs, but we knew this before we arrived and it worked for us. The terrace area is amazing with views to die for. There is plenty of room with ample seating and a discreet washing line to dry off towels etc.
The swimming pool and grounds are excellent, kept so well maintained and clean. The swimming pool is lovely and so peaceful. As there are only 3 apartments there is always plenty of room, there are 3 sets of sunbeds with umbrellas and tables and chairs. Each apartment has its own gated entrance and allocated parking space, so if you have a car it's no problem.
The accommodation is a short walk from the entrance of beautiful San Gimignano and the local supermarket. However, it is quite a steep hill and maybe something to keep in mind if you have limited mobility.
We would ABSOLUTLY recommend this accommodation. The welcome, view and facilities are excellent. Don't miss this opportunity to experience a perfect Tuscan break.
Lastly but probably the most important thing is the family who welcome you with open arms and are there to assist with anything you need. Massive thanks to Franco and his lovely family.

Posto favoloso, immerso nel verde e con una vista mozzafiato sulle crete senesi e sulle dolci colline toscane. Siamo stati in 12 in questa villa riservata tutta per noi, con piscina e doccia esterna, barbecue, tavoli da esterno, lettini, per poter godere della tranquillità del posto e della natura circostante. I tre appartamenti sono curati nei minimi dettagli e dotati di ogni comfort per un soggiorno perfetto.
Ringraziamo Riccardo e sua moglie per la loro ospitalità e piena disponibilità a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza.
Consigliatissimo, torneremo!!
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A fabulous place, surrounded by greenery and with a breathtaking view of the Crete Senesi and the rolling Tuscan hills. Twelve of us stayed in this villa, all to ourselves, with a pool and outdoor shower, barbecue, outdoor tables, and sun loungers, allowing us to enjoy the tranquility of the place and the surrounding nature. The three apartments are meticulously maintained and equipped with every comfort for a perfect stay.
We thank Riccardo and his wife for their hospitality and complete willingness to meet our every need.
Highly recommended, we'll be back!!

This feedback is intended to give your next guests the best possible experience, and to provide guests with crucial information needed when booking your home. We all travel a lot.
1). More detailed arrival instructions are imperative. We had to call customer service twice (who were borderline rude and seemed bothered). The printed out directions sent to us did not include that it was home #5.
2). The address doesn’t get you to the right location, we had to end up entering “River Glen water park” to find the neighborhood.
2). The home needs to have an exterior light to mark the path and an address sign that was reflective in the dark, higher up on the house and/or closer to the road. We arrived in the pitch dark and had to walk house to house in the rain with our torches trying to find the #5 (located on a very low corner of the home and not reflective)
3). There was no hot water in the hallway bathroom. And no hot water in either sink. We had to all share one shower.
4). We did not know if the home had WiFi or how to access. (The home needs WiFi if none at this time.)There was no information or home instructions left for guests.
The instructions for guests should include WiFi info, how to lock the door (lift up handle before turning lock/key etc), what to do when checking out, info for how to operate hot water if needed to make 2nd bathroom have hot water?
5)Mattresses need replacing.
6) Received a DON’T DRINK THE WATER NOTICE on the door. It would have been nice if a gallon of water was left for us.
