Great house

Our family of 11 rented this house for a week in July ‘23 and had a great time. Patricia and her family were amazing and very welcoming. Would definitely come back (Note: House is 15 minutes drive from San Gimignano)

Wahnsinn – was für ein toller Urlaub! Wir wurden von unfassbar lieben und herzlichen Gastgebern empfangen, die uns fast täglich mit kleinen Leckereien überrascht haben. Das Haus, der Pool und das gesamte Anwesen sind ein Traum und lassen wirklich keine Wünsche offen. Traumhafter Ausblick in die Toskana und auf San GimiganoBesonders hervorheben möchten wir das gemeinsame Abendessen bei den Gastgebern: ein fantastisches 4-Gänge-Menü, bei dem eigene Zutaten wie Oliven, Wein und Gemüse aus dem Garten verarbeitet wurden. Jeder Euro war es wert! Auch wenn wir die weiteren Angebote wie Pastakurs und Abendmenüs leider nur einmal wahrnehmen konnten, bleibt uns dieses Erlebnis unvergesslich.Wir waren mit 5 Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern dort – und es war sicher einer der schönsten Ferienhausurlaube, die wir je hatten.

Service gericht

Het huis was werkelijk geweldig. Mooi, netjes en fijne faciliteiten. De ligging viel ons tegen omdat er bij stond 100 m lopen naar centrum san sigmignano. Daarom hadden wij ook geboekt. Konden we met kinderwagen zo t dorp in. Wij wilde iedere dag daar lunchen. T bleek 8,4 km te zijn. Niet te wandelen en met auto slecht te parkeren ivm drukte. Maar qua huis, faciliteiten en uitzicht; geweldig

Villa sur colline Toscane

Une maison de grande taille facile à vivre à quelques encablures de San Gimignano entre vignes et oliviers. Une piscine et tout ce qu’il faut pour s’y reposer aux abords, un petit patio et un barbecue pour de fantastiques grillades au feu de bois. Merci à Patrizia pour son accueil et à son fils toujours très serviable… merci à lui pour le spritz au bord de l’eau. Calme et repos accompagnée par le chant des cigales. Merci

Wunderbares Haus, ideal gelegen

Ein wunderschönes Haus, zentral gelegen, um diverse Ausflüge zu machen, ideal für Familien. Bietet genügend Platz und ist super eingerichtet. Die Aussicht auf San Gimignano ist einfach traumhaft.

Wow!!! Merci Brice pour ce merveilleux retour ! Bien que la plus grande récompense soit de savoir que vous avez passé un si bon moment à Fico Nero, la propriété a répondu à vos attentes et d'apprendre que Patrizia était l'hôte la plus accueillante et la plus attentionnée. Merci encore d'avoir loué avec nous! Villas in Med Team
