Holiday rentals near Montecatini Val di Cecina Mining Museum

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 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
