Holiday rentals near Alta Val d'Elsa River Park

We loved our stay! The Farmhouse is really lovely and the view out the back is exceptional. We enjoyed a lot of home cooked meals with the most stunning view. Daniele was amazing to communicate with as well. Definitely hope to be back one day!

Around 4km from village of San Gimignano so you need a car. Villa looks old but is actually quite new so all bedrooms have spacious well functioning ensuites unlike some centuries old villas. Great place for a large group (we had 8 adults) with 12 others who came for a party in the postcard gardens by the pool. Be aware that certain basics are not sufficient for this number over a week and you will need toilet paper wash cloths paper towels etc. The accom is up a wide attractive flight of stairs on level 1. We did not have a concern with the stairs. Host Barbara is delightful. Provided fresh eggs from her chickens. Helped with getting a taxi to snd from SG. We used this frequently so we could all enjoy a drink. It cost 40 per one way trip which is ok when shared. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a taxi so we booked each return trip as we left tge last. Sonia, tge driver was brilliant. Barbara also cooked us one hot and cold breakfast for 15 pp which was delicious. Loved our stay at Podere Lo Spadino

This is one of those conflicted reviews. I’d like to keep Le Bagnaie secret so we can book in future but I can’t resist posting about the experience. I can’t fault anything about the stay. The check in instructions were easy, property is well appointed and spotless, spectacular views, great pool and beautiful district. We drove around the surrounding towns and wineries. The meal from Serena was a real highlight. We didn’t want to leave

This is lovely rustic villa set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The host Sylvia was super helpful and lovely, one of the best we have come across and nothing was too much trouble. The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you need for a family vacation, and having the pool during the recent summer heat was simply fantastic after a day of exploring. The house is remote and private on a short unsealed road but just a 10 minute drive in to Volterra where there are plenty of cafes and supermarkets. A little further the other way is Colle di Val d’Elsa so self catering was easy. Highly recommend the property for an authentic Tuscan experience. 5 stars all the way!

Everything was wonderful. From pre-trip communication with Cristina until we left gets 5 stars. The property is within the walls of the city therefore accessing via car is not easy. Cristina met us and showed us how to drive to the property and then where we could leave our car - this is approx. 5-10 mins walk from the property. The pictures really do not do the place justice. Yes it's rustic and quirky which makes the place unique. Mr T, the 70 year old tortoise is a special feature and we loved seeing him each morning. So if you want a very special place to stay within the city and easy access to Tuscany, this is the place for you.

My family, including my parents and children, spent the most wonderful week at this beautiful property! The house and private outdoor terrace is huge, with lots of different spaces to spend eating and drinking and relaxing. The pool was incredible - the kids loved the diving board and making friends with other children who were also staying in the hamlet. It was the perfect house for us to spend a week relaxing in Tuscany!
