We had a lovely stay at the villa. The villa was comfortable, well furnished and had a beautiful view of San Gimignano. The owner was very helpful and responsive. We will definitely stay there again if we visit San Gimignano.
The home is amazing. This was our 1st trip to Tuscany. The location was perfect and convenient to San G. and grocery shopping. We are hoping to return some day.
It is a wonderful property with outstanding views and a short walk to the wonderful village of San Gimignano. The host was wonderful and we would totally recommend the onsite dinner and wine tasting with Chef Massimo and Tenuta Torciano.
The Villa has amazing views of San Gimignano and the village is within easy walking distance. The property is great for individuals or couples traveling together. The host Alessandra is highly responsive and very helpful with recommendations.
I wanted to say a big thank you to Alessandro for his hospitality. The villa fit all 9 of us ladies comfortably. It was clean, spacious and had an amazing view. I would highly reccomend this villa. Our host provided us with restaurant options, and activity suggestions. Just a side note, you do need a car. The walking to town or the Coop is uphill on a dusty gravel road. It takes a good 10 to15 minutes to walk to town. Lots of stairs in the villa, not ideal for those with mobility issues. If you do not have a vehicle I suggest booking taxis ahead. Overall it was a wonderful stay.Thankyou!
Lovely large 4 bedroom house with spectacular views of San Gimignano. Really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this rental. Everything was perfect including the pool. Alessandro
Our host was responsive to our questions and needs. He also arranged a women to come to the property and prepare dinner for us on two separate nights.To our host, thank you.
This is a truly lovely house in an amazing spot. Very walkable to San Gimignano but also feels quite and private. The host is very accessible, extremely helpful and will connect you to any added things you might need during your stay. The pool feels amazing on a hot day and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The property is walking distance to San Gimignano. The house has air conditioning and it is definitely a must in the summer. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The host is attentive and very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay.
We all had a wonderful relaxing time and couldnât fault the villa, it was excellent. Great location and views. Would highly recommend. Alessandro a great host.
Our stay at Villa Porticciola in San Gimiagno was absolutely FANTASTIC! From the moment we arrived, everything was exactly as we had anticipated and more. The host is attentive and so accommodating and tries to make everything perfect to the best of his ability including maintaining the pool when we were there. The pool was a real plus! We were so impressed! And the Villaâs location in San Gimiagno was magical. We had rented a car for driving around Tuscany but did use it for going into San Gimiagno even though the distance into town is only half a mile. The Villa is located on an historically preserved road- very gravelly and dusty but filled with âcharacterâ - which has a steep incline into town and we had two âseniorsâ in our party. The temperatures when we went in June were unseasonably hot. The walking down was fine, but the walking up more challenging depending on the people in your party. We are so grateful for what was a true âbucket listâ experience! Thank you, Alessandro.
This was a comfortable property with lovely patios to sit and enjoy the truly breathtaking views. Walkable to the lovely town of San Gimignano and close enough to Florence and many other towns if youâd like to do day trips. Host was easily reachable and accommodating. Great vacation.
Gorgeous & charming property located a short walkable distance from San Gimignano. Perfect for a family or group of friends. We enjoyed the local charm, day trips to Florence & Siena, as well as winery tours & a cooking class.
The host helped us with wonderful restaurants & drivers.
Highly recommend this property and this host
The views of San gimignano are amazing from the outside seating area. Close enough to walk or a short drive into town but feels like a rural setting.
Alessandro is also very helpful and the villa is well stocked. Pool are is great.
Best part is going into town after the hordes of tourists board their buses back to Firenze.
The location and the villa itself made for a wonderful holiday. Alessandro is a fantastic host, very proactive and helpful. We highly recommend the villa.
Its worth noting the fine print that not included in the rental price, to be paid on the spot: Final cleaning, Local tax, Heating, Air Conditioning.
We spent a week using this as our base to explore the region. Lots comfortable seating. It was cold the first two days socentral heat, pellet stove and heat pumps worked flawlessly. Allessandro was readily available and easy to work with.
Absolutely adored this house, location and host. Alessandro is a very responsive and helpful host. We had a couple of severe storms and he checked in to make sure I was fine (there was a period where I was by myself). The rooms are large, air conditioned and comfortable. The pool is very relaxing, especially after a hot day. I hope to come back some day!! Highly recommend
It's been 19 years since we last went to San Gimignano, not much has changed - the same beautiful town. All logistics (check in/check out etc) were very smooth and relaxed. The location was fabulous for us, nice and quiet but only a short drive to the town. Parking has always been a problem, but if you go early/late you can get the best spaces. The pool was very welcome given it was 39 degrees most days of our stay. Id definitely recommend and hope to be back one day.
This is an amazing property! Spectacular view of San Gimignano and of the surrounding area. Easy walking distance up the hill to San Gimignano. Four en suite bedrooms made it very comfortable and the house lacks for nothing, including history. The patios were great and having a swimming pool was a bonus. Alessandro was very helpful and available if we had any questions at all during our stay. I highly recommend this property.
Going to Tuscany and staying in a Villa for a couple of weeks has been a dreamâŠand now a dream come true. If we could have rated the Stay more than 5 stars we would have. The owner and his family were so helpful and friendly. The location was great with its being close (but not to close proximity to San Gimignano). A nice walk got you to the walled City within 15 minutes where you could visit the bakery, restaurants, storesâŠand the best gelato in Italy. If you can.. book it!!!
Our family had a wonderful stay in this charming home. It was the perfect base from which to explore the region, and the proximity to San Gimignano was ideal. It was an easy 15-20 minute walk into this beautiful old walled town. Right outside the main town gates is a Coop supermarket where we were able to purchase all our staples. Alessandro was welcoming and very responsive to our needs. The views of San Gimignano from the house and patio are spectacular and we spent much quality time relaxing and taking in the gorgeous Tuscan setting. Gracie Mille!
