Tuscany villa rentals

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

Our family of 5 enjoyed every minute of trip to Tuscany and our stay at Leo’s place was wonderful.Leo was excellent at communicating and made us feel very welcomed in his beautiful house.

We received a warm welcome from the family and a thorough explanation of the facilities, the surrounding area and places of interest. Fabrizio communicated easily with us using the translation phone app. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and offers a genuine Italian experience. Simply wonderful.

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

A fantastic experience - stayed here for a week - initially a bit scary because of the drive up the narrow road to get to the villa, but after doing it once all was ok - very little traffic - Massimo was an excellent host, met us in Lucca and we followed him out to the villa - very high up in the hills with magnificent views - we only had one small problem with the wifi but Massimo responded very quickly to sort it out I would highly recommend this villa

Well located, basically comfortable. Could do with more comfortable seating indoors and nicer bedlinen, towels and pillows. Pool and outdoor areas are great.

My family and I stayed here in late September and had a fabulous time. The house has everything you need including a bbq (we are Australians so this is essential on a holiday), pool and an AMAZING view. The house is close enough to Sarteano to feel part of the village but far away enough to be very quiet and secluded! It provided a great base to explore the beautiful hill towns in this part of Italy!!

Good points: weather permitting the rear verandah is superb for outdoor dining with a fantastic view overlooking Lucca. Bedroom accommodation size was good and pleasantly decorated. Upstairs bedroom windows equipped with flyscreens and shutters. The kitchen and laundry was adequate for small numbers. The water spring at the bottom of the hill was refreshing and provided many a bottle of fresh water. The Bad: on arrival and departure luggage transfers was possible via a deteriorated steep pathway or many stairs through an adjoining private property which proved difficult. Daily movements through neighbours property felt uncomfortable and intrusive. The internal living area in the property is too small for the suggested number of people to be comfortably accommodated. The ugly: In our opinion driving on the access road to the property after dark is not safe and prohibited our movement in the evenings. The dishwasher filter was extremely dirty and was in need of a good clean. The mould around the shower recess was given a good clean together with the tiles on the kitchen bench as they were mouldy and unhygenic. The toilet brushes require replacing.
