Holiday rentals near La Galleria

The apartment overlooking the Duomo was perfect

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

We are a family of 5 (2 Adults, 3 Teenagers) and stayed 4 nights in Sonia’s apartment. What a wonderful experience! Sonia was there at checkin and went through all the things to do with the apartment in great detail. She also recommended many great local restaurants and things to do around Florence.The apartment itself was very clean and configured to 3 bedrooms and the 2nd bathroom made the stay very comfortable for our family of 5. The outdoor courtyard is also available, but we didn’t use it much as it was winter and cold.The apartment is very quiet and the location is close enough to walk easily into town and all the main attractions. The bus is also just outside the apartment.Overall, a great place to stay in a quiet neighbourhood and would definitely stay again when in Florence. Thank you Sonia for your hospitality!

Beautiful. We had 7 wonderful days at La Porticciola. Alessandro the host was very approachable and even arranged for a cook to come in for 2 nights. Imagine sitting on the terrace having a wonderful meal below the lights of San Gimignano. Magical

This apartment is in the perfect location. Walking distance to the centre. Very clean, beautiful apartment and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again!

Amassing cottage exactly as describe, super clean plenty of space for a family. Great location right in the heart of Tuscany with incredible views and it was super peaceful. Magdalena was so nice and knowledgeable very responsive and gave us numerous recommendations for the local area. The house is ease to find through google maps instead of GPS. Truly a dream house in the quiet, beautiful countryside. I can’t wait to return.

Oh my goodness, what a great find this apartment was!! It was huge, spotlessly clean and as good as it looks in the listing, if not better. It truly was like stepping back in time and staying in a palace apartment (with necessary mod cons!!). We stayed in December and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. It’s in a great spot not far from the Ponte Vecchio and an easy walk to most of Florence’s main attractions. There is a square with several restaurants less than a minute’s walk from the apartment. The manager was lovely and very easy to communicate with and offered great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. She also came to our rescue when we were struggling to get a taxi on the morning of our departure. There are multiple apartments, we stayed in Angeli Apartment, but I imagine the others are as wonderful. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Should I ever be lucky enough to return to Florence, I will without hesitation stay here again.

We found the White House very good accomodation for our needs It was very roomy, everything worked well, the beds were comfortable , the pool very good and our host Luca very accomodating and helpful Monopoli is a good base to explore close by regional Tuscan towns like San Miniato, Vinci and Palaia We elected to visit Florence by train which worked well with very good parking in San Romano by the station Despite having TV access to cable stations, there were only a few English stations such as BBC world news. The WiFi worked well We would highly recommend this property
