Holiday rentals near Monastery of San Vivaldo

The Villa has everything you need for a more than comfortable stay. Centrally located for exploring many of the local Tuscany highlights with a quick tram to Florence.Worth staying in to enjoy the pool and surrounds when the weather is good. Great outdoor space! We were 15 adults.

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 selected Villa Rivoltino Di Sopra because of the location, facilities and setting. All of these exceeded our expectations. In addition Giulia the property manager made our stay even better. Highlights were the proximity to the captivating town of Volterra, the hospitality of the nearby trattoria Prato d’Era, being able to get to Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti, Montalcino and so many other places so easily. The house, the pool, the outdoor barbecue, the brilliant kitchen and the grounds of the villa were perfect. The wildlife (deer, ferrets and hedgehogs to name a few) were also unexpected. Giulia and Vincent could not have done more to make this 4 week holiday unforgettable
