You could not ask for anything more from this Tuscan villa. Absolutely lovely restored farmhouse with every amenity required and the photographs really do not do it justice. The location is perfect with a fifteen minute walk up to San Gimignano with absolutely stunning views of the town from the pool and the rear terrace. Alessandro was the perfect host and was always available for advice and help. We really had a lovely family week stay at the property.

Birthday Celebration in Tuscany

Booked this villa for a 5-night stay with family & friends. The villa was exactly as expected, the views of San Gimignano from the property are so much better than the photos can capture! The owner, Alessandro, was accommodating, easy to contact, and responsive to our requests. Ensuite bathrooms in all bedrooms was an awesome feature we all appreciated. Would definitely recommend!

When we drove up to Villa Porticciola it was everything we thought Tuscany would be. It was breathtaking. We couldn’t believe we were staying there. The villa has so much character was peaceful and exceptionally quiet. The views of San Gimignano and the surrounding vineyards was awe inspiring. We felt like we were part of a Renaissance painting. We enjoyed our walks to San Gimignano an ancient village which is well preserved. Being inside the stone walls gave the feeling of traveling back to early medieval times. Our grandchildren loved their pool time as did we with the views of the village. We cannot remember a more relaxing 5days. Alessandro, our host, was most accommodating and gracious. We are very glad he has made the villa available for guests. We hated to leave. We only wished for a longer stay

I wanted to say a big thank you to Alessandro for his hospitality. The villa fit all 9 of us ladies comfortably. It was clean, spacious and had an amazing view. I would highly reccomend this villa. Our host provided us with restaurant options, and activity suggestions. Just a side note, you do need a car. The walking to town or the Coop is uphill on a dusty gravel road. It takes a good 10 to15 minutes to walk to town. Lots of stairs in the villa, not ideal for those with mobility issues. If you do not have a vehicle I suggest booking taxis ahead. Overall it was a wonderful stay.Thankyou!

Tuscany in June

Our stay at Villa Porticciola in San Gimiagno was absolutely FANTASTIC! From the moment we arrived, everything was exactly as we had anticipated and more. The host is attentive and so accommodating and tries to make everything perfect to the best of his ability including maintaining the pool when we were there. The pool was a real plus! We were so impressed! And the Villa’s location in San Gimiagno was magical. We had rented a car for driving around Tuscany but did use it for going into San Gimiagno even though the distance into town is only half a mile. The Villa is located on an historically preserved road- very gravelly and dusty but filled with “character” - which has a steep incline into town and we had two “seniors” in our party. The temperatures when we went in June were unseasonably hot. The walking down was fine, but the walking up more challenging depending on the people in your party. We are so grateful for what was a true “bucket list” experience! Thank you, Alessandro.

This is a truly lovely house in an amazing spot. Very walkable to San Gimignano but also feels quite and private. The host is very accessible, extremely helpful and will connect you to any added things you might need during your stay.

Grazie Alessandro and Villa la Porticciola

The villa was very well-maintained and provisioned. We were provided with a great list of local resources many of which we took advantage of and were very pleased with. We had a private chef and sommelier come and provide lunch for us one day and the villa accommodated the event perfectly. The villa provided perfect sleeping arrangement for our varied group of 7. It was convenient to have a washer/dryer and bathroom on the main floor. One possible improvement would be to provide better instruction on how to use the washer and dryer. They both took a LONG time to complete their cycles and I'm not sure that we ever were using them correctly. There were many locations were we could congregate as a group or get away if any of us needed some alone time. We used the pool every afternoon and loved it given the hot humid weather while we were there. There were beautiful views of San Gimignano from the villa and although it was walkable, it was uphill all the way and pretty tough for some of us, given the 90, humid weather.Alessandro was a gracious host! Very pleasant and responsive to our needs. We were provided with a thorough orientation to the property and how things worked upon our arrival. All told, this was a beautiful place to stay, beautifully maintained, accommodated our needs perfectly and was overseen by a wonderful host.We highly recommend Villa la Porticciola to anyone looking for a villa in Tuscany and the San Gimignano area!

Perfect villa

The views of San gimignano are amazing from the outside seating area. Close enough to walk or a short drive into town but feels like a rural setting. Alessandro is also very helpful and the villa is well stocked. Pool are is great. Best part is going into town after the hordes of tourists board their buses back to Firenze.

Great to be back in San Gimignano

It's been 19 years since we last went to San Gimignano, not much has changed - the same beautiful town. All logistics (check in/check out etc) were very smooth and relaxed. The location was fabulous for us, nice and quiet but only a short drive to the town. Parking has always been a problem, but if you go early/late you can get the best spaces. The pool was very welcome given it was 39 degrees most days of our stay. Id definitely recommend and hope to be back one day.
