Poggetto di Montese

The apartments are furnished beautifully, and it's so peaceful there. San Gimignano's old town is only five minutes away by car, and the view of the town is outstanding. Simply amazing!

The host was so friendly and attentive, and even makes fantastic olive oil at home. It was delicious. We also loved how peaceful and clean the accommodation was. The rooms were furnished with care, the modern bathroom impressed us, and it had everything we needed. The garden was a highlight, well kept and full of comfortable places to sit and relax. A sweet cat came to visit regularly too, which charmed us. We had a wonderful stay and would happily come back. A lovely place for anyone who enjoys quiet, comfort, and warm hospitality.

From the roomy backyard to the views, this place felt just like the Tuscany I had pictured. We could see San Gimignano's historic center and the vineyards around it. The apartment was comfortable and had what we needed, and parking was about 50 meters away. There's a grill in the spacious backyard, so, as good Argentinians, we had a barbecue. We had a small problem with the heating because it was controlled externally, but they sorted it out quickly.

The location was excellent, but getting the heating on took at least ten requests to the manager. The apartment had no heating at first, and by the time it was switched on, it was too cold for us to warm up, so we headed home and wasted a 500 km round trip. The bed and pillows were also really poor, and I couldn't sleep properly. That's my personal view, of course, but it's what I'm used to.
