Beautiful Villa outside of San Gimignano
Great villa and property that was fantastic for our group of 12, including 6 children between ages 5 and 11. So much for them to do with the open spaces, various games, pool, etc.
I’ve stayed in Italy with my family three times now and I think this was the best villa and location for driving to many of the great Tuscan cities.

Absolutely delightful stay at this lovely property!
We were a group of 8 adults that enjoyed Villa Iris for 7 nights in November. While the time of year and weather didn't allow us to enjoy the outdoors, the villa's setting is enchanting. Lovely ensuite bathrooms and a great kitchen where we prepared a number of meals and enjoyed a cooking class from Lucie, one of the owners. Staff was extremely helpful in all of our pre-planning, especially the all-day wine tour. We look forward to returning!

Couldn't Ask For More
My husband and I spent 2 weeks at Villa Iris with our adult children and their spouses. The villa location is ideal and the views are even better in person, just breathtaking. The outdoor space is where we most of our living, and the pool is exceptional. Centrally located to Florence, Siena, Lucca and such easy access to San Gimignano for dinner, we all agreed it was ideal location. The chef services made us feel like royalty! If we can be back, we will!

Spectacular Villa Iris
What a special place this was. We had 9 guests in our group, all family members, and everyone just loved the place. The owners prepared a fantastic dinner for us on the day of our arrival and it was much appreciated as we had all traveled the entire day. We used the pool daily due to the warm temperatures and it was a great place to relax after a day of touring. The large outside table was also special, as it was our go to place for meals, cards and late night discussions. The location of the Villa makes it easy to travel for day trips in the surrounding area. Thank you for all your hospitality and we will definitely consider returning in the future.

From the first contact until our checkout, the communication was excellent. The Villa was very well decorated and provided an excellent venue for our 12 person group. The chef and hostess prepared a delicious meal and extraordinary service. The Villa provided an excellent place to rest for our group. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Caterina, Gabriel and Carolina were EXCELLENT to work with! I would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a central location in Tuscany!!

Words nor pictures do this place justice
What an amazing visit. 12 of us descended upon Villa Iris and we all left beaming with light. This place is special and while I'm sure there are other lovely Villas in the area, you cannot go wrong here. Gabrielle and Caterina were amazing at making sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly responsive. Shower snobs will LOVE the water pressure, which was a pleasant surprise. Hanging out by the pool and bocce court was a regular night time routine and we grilled 2x on the outdoor grill, which was spectacular. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great group getaway.

Amazing Property and Hosts!
This is my first time staying in Italy and San Gimignano. The listing of the property is accurate and everything was very clean and well maintained. The hosts Gabriel,, and rest of the team are exceptional with quick responses and clear communication. Our party had four adults and three children (ages 4-7)and this villa was perfect and safe to accommodate the young ones. We came in early August and it was hot, but the AC is great for American standards. The Villa is private but accessible to groceries, wineries, and shopping as we rented a car (highly recommended). The Villa owners are also able to coordinate private chefs which we partook in (also recommended) as we didn’t need to leave the area and no clean up necessary. The adults were able to go to a spa within 15 minutes to get massages. Within Villa Iris there was many amenities for the kids such as the large pool which we partook in basically everyday, table tennis, foose ball, and bocceball. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location and hosts. I would definitely recommend Villa Iris and come back in the future.

A wonderful Tuscan retreat!
This villa does not disappoint! We had a family of twelve including eight adults, three children, and one baby. It was the perfect space for our family. Each bedroom was equipped with its very own bathroom. We were all very comfortable in our space. We would take day trips to different cities and retreat to our villa in the evening time. We would either cook dinner ourselves or have the private chef cook wonderful meals for us. Watching the sunset at the villa was incredible. One of our favorite things to do was play bocce ball on the court! So fun! We would come back in a heart beat. The hosts were also very responsive to our needs.

Beautiful
Group of 6 couples exploring Tuscany. We loved the Villa. It is large, comfortable, well equipped and it has a spectacular view of San Gimignano and Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed an on-site cooking class and an on-site Chef’s dinner.
We did not have a car for the first 3 days and that was a struggle. We walked to San Gimignano, and it’s a difficult journey. Our group is physically fit, and everyone found it very challenging - up a steep grade for about 45 minutes.
The farm next door (10 min walk) is fantastic for a wine tour/tasting and dining. It was a highlight for us.
Our group loved the bocce court, the large dining tables, and the outdoor covered terrace.
We highly recommend a stay at Villa Iris.

Paradise is real!
We had the good fortune to stay at Villa Iris for 10 days. It was a dream come true. The location was perfect and the views from the property were spectacular. We were 7 adults and needed 4 en-suite bathrooms. We had six bedrooms to choose from and each one was perfect. The kitchen was amazing and we gathered each night around the huge dining room table. They provided a chef to cook for us and we even took cooking lessons. The grounds are gorgeous and we often gathered by the pool area just to relax and sit and chat. But most important they were amazingly responsive to anything we needed. When we needed a cab they arranged for us. Any questions were answered immediately. We hope to return in the future!

Great Place for Family Reunion
The property was exactly as described. We had 11 adults and an infant with us for a week long family reunion. Caterina was excellent to work with and made all the arrangements for us — chef dinners, cooking classes, wine tours, local dinner reservations, tours, and airport transfers. She was great to work with and very responsive. There were plenty of areas to relax and the outdoor dining area was perfect for our group. It is too far to walk into San Gimignano but we were able to walk to the local winery for our farewell dinner — which was very nice. It is a beautiful villa and completely met our expectations. The only negative was that the pool was too cold for most of us to swim despite temperatures in the low 80’s during the day. At night the temperatures were cool. The chef prepared dinners were excellent. Thanks for a fun time at Villa Iris where we made many new family memories.

Nice house in fantastic location, great garden and pool, interior needs a refresh
The outstanding: Chef Meals prepared at the house (by Baba and Olga at an extra charge) are superb, do not miss them, The Garden and Pool (not heated). Air '
conditioning makeas all the difference in the Summer, loved it. Caterina and Lucia are prompt in theirresponses and take care of all your needs (Thanks).
The good: The villa is spacious and located very well for access to most of the Tuscan attracitons within 1.5 hours tops, it can confortably sleep 6 couples. It has a very nice view of San Gimignano from the pool area (while standing up).
The average: The decoration inside the Villa is old and dated, it lacks a proper living room area to relax as a group, and while bathrooms are addequate, there is no storage space for your bath items, and very little space for clothes in the rooms.
All in all a very god experience, and if the interior is renovated tastefully, it would be a true gem.

We thank you for your review and for the compliments made, even if we are sorry that the interior part and in particular the furniture has not been appreciated by you and has not been to your liking.
In this case we would like to point out that we carried out a careful complete renovation of the villa in 2015 and in particular all the furniture of the villa which was made by a famous Florentine craftsman based on the drawings made by an important italian interior designer, just to make savor and relive to our customers the atmosphere of the typical old Tuscan farmhouse.
Villa Iris, given its location and the structure which dates back to 1737, certainly cannot host a modern style.
moreover, the villa has been chosen by important television channels to record cooking classes, given its particularity and uniqueness in re-proposing the Tuscan style.
We are very sorry as out of 95 reviews we have it is the first in which the unique style and furnishing of the villa is not appreciated, which is well known and clear even from the photos on the site.
The villa has large spaces both inside and outside and all the rooms, which have a private bathroom inside, are very spacious, having two windows per room, desk and large wardrobe.
For Villa Iris and Villa sarah we received the request directly from the famous site of luxury villas to be part of it and that we accepted with great pleasure being an honor for us and also there from all the customers we hosted we have been a great success for our villas.
We are still sorry but it may happen that the style and setting in which a villa is located and above all its particularities that can make a stay even more unique is not understood.
Best regards
Gabriel

Beautiful stay with amazing hosts
Caterina, Lucia and Gabriel are truly wonderful hosts. From before I even booked our stay, Caterina answered every question our group had. She helped to ensure we had all of the information we needed to have a wonderful trip, and helped us arrange tours to other towns, chef prepared wine dinners at the villa that were exceptional and winery tours and tasting lunches that were informative and delicious. Caterina and Lucia provided a thorough check in at the Villa, showing us everything we needed to know during our stay at Villa Iris, and we’re available for any questions or concerns we had throughout the week. The response was almost immediate every time and they couldn’t do enough to make sure we were enjoying every moment of our trip.
I have wanted to bring my parents to Italy since I visited my first time back in college, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. From the grounds and pool, to the incredible kitchen and dining room where we were able to share some beautiful meals together as a family, to the bedrooms — Villa Iris is a truly special place and we will be sure to tell all of our family and friends about it (we already have)!
We also wanted to mention how lovely Sonia was as our driver. She is a very safe driver, and knowledgeable of the areas. She helped us get the most out of each experience and was extremely patient and easy going on every trip.
We had an amazing family vacation and that’s due in large part to our stay at Villa Iris. We’re already planning our next trip back!

A Tuscan Paradise
We heartily agree with all positive comments in the previous reviews! Examples include: The chef's dinners at the villa are delicious and very fun; the villa itself is fantastic, and Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele are delightful to deal with; lunches and dinners at Fattoria Poggio Alloro are excellent; using the villa for short day trips and cooling off in the pool after, made for perfect vacation memories; the nearby Pam supermarket in Poggibonsi is very convenient; the villa's air conditioning works perfectly, even in 90+ temperatures; the Wifi reaches all parts of the property, including the pool area.
Regarding driving in Tuscany: We were uncertain if we'd be able to drive independently with our rental car (knowing from past experience how fast and aggressive the drivers are in Sicily, Rome and Naples). We guessed we'd travel by train instead, but driving proved to be quite easy. The roads are clearly marked and the local drivers, although a little fast, are not a problem. It's really important to download an offline map in Google Maps before you leave home (there are videos in YouTube explaining how to do this). With an offline map downloaded to your phone, you can get driving directions without an internet connection.
On a typical day we explored the area, had a nice lunch, and returned home to cool off in the pool and play bocce. We thank Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele for an amazing vacation, one of our favorites ever. We highly recommend this villa!

Most Amazing Trip
We just got home after a wonderful weeklong vacation at the beautiful Villa Iris. It was a perfect place to join our extended family together for a birthday celebration and to enjoy each others company. The Villa accomodated all of us - 10 adults - extremely comfortably. The Villa was beautifully traditional, but had all the modern comforts. The owners were very helpful and responsive during the planning process. They helped us to arrange a Chianti region wine tour, including a wonderful lunch at a private home/vineyard. They also prepared a celebration dinner for us one evening which was perfect and delicious. I would highly recommend anyone staying to take advantage of these experiences. We also arranged a cooking class at a small B&B nearby called Il Vicario which was wonderful. The walk to San Gimignano was quite strenuous - all uphill - but doable. The owners helped us make dinner reservations and arranged drivers to San Gimignano for us while we were there. The location was perfect for exploring the Tuscany region during the day - we visited Montereggioni, Siena, Montalcito, Pienza and Volterra over the course of our stay, but were so happy each evening to return to the comfort and beauty of Villa Iris. We had fun taking advantage of the grounds - the pool, bocce court, foosball and table tennis were loads of fun. We can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was, and hope we can return someday soon. There's nothing quite like enjoying aperetivo in a spectacular setting while the sun sets over San Gimignano in the distance. Thanks for a wonderful trip!!

Perfect Tuscan villa experience.
I choose Villa Iris for a milestone birthday celebration in Tuscany with friends & family based on the location, the villa’s aesthetics and amenities. We found the location to be perfect for what we wanted to do - day trips to Siena, Florence and wine tasting in the Chianti region. The property, the owner and the property manager ALL exceeded our expectations and truly made for a very memorable vacation experience! Some highlights of the villa: spacious house with 7 bedrooms 6 with en-suite bathrooms, a fabulous sauna, nice and plentiful linens, cleaning service, stocked kitchen with all of the cookware & dishes one could need, a great outdoor space for relaxing and gathering, a gorgeous travertine pool & hot tub but just a little chilly at first. Our only suggestion would be to add a heater for the spa.
Additionally, we can not say enough good things about the people involved - Caterina the property Mgr(?) and Sonja their driver for hire. If you don’t have a car or prefer not to drive like us, Sonja the driver was awesome., such a sweet gal!! Caterina was incredibly helpful with local restaurant recommendations/reservations, arranging a private chef to prepare meals which I HIGHLY recommend!! She even helped arrange for massages at the villa which was an unforgettable experience. The property is close to San Gimignano, but not walkable (from what we could tell) despite what others have said,. It’s close by, probably a 8 to10 minute drive and a MUST SEE. We were blessed with great weather all week and couldn’t have had a better time at Villa Iris! We are already talking about a trip back.

Close To Perfect
The overall property (charming large house, en-suite rooms, land, layout, inside & out utility) is marvelous; especially the pool. The overall (contracted) housekeeping regiment (timing, cleanliness, etc.) was great. The kitchen oven & microwave lacked operating instructions. The stove burners were finicky. The drip coffee maker didn’t work and the single cup maker was able but challenging. The fridge & wine cooler and dishwasher are all super. The sink & island are throwback-awesome. The cutlery is lacking, slightly; dull knives, etc. but adequate. Glassware was generous. The welcoming buffet was delicious & generous but basic materials for wrapping leftovers were lacking.Upon arrival and all through the stay, the house was musty, at times stuffy, bordering on moldy. Windows (all) lacking screens, thwarted fresh-airflow. Open doors and/or windows welcomed pesky flies, especially notable on arrival, but diminished over time. We wondered if the house was occupied the week before our arrival. The bedrooms were charming, close to ‘tired’ life-end furnishings, but the mattresses (& linens) all were great, supported by the aforementioned housekeeping. The en suite bathroom were adequate-plus, water pressure, volume and temperature all great. Some plumbing arrangements are funky, but adequate. Some shower doors and other elects needed repair that were addressed quickly & perfectly. The independently manageable air-conditioning throughout was great. While we all wished for fr

Great Villa
The Villa was certainly beautiful and the pictures and descriptions on the website are accurate. We stayed a week in late August with 9 adults and 3 children.
The location of the Villa is great if you are looking to do day trips to Florence, Sienna, Pisa, Chianti or the nearby San Gimignano (and more). However, the walk to San Gimignano is quite difficult with steep inclines and gravel roads (do not attempt it with kids). I would also highly recommend a car as there is not much within walking distance other than a Agro tourism Restaurant (that was quite nice).
Positives:
-The kitchen and outdoor bbq (not wood) were great for cooking our own meals.
-The outdoor Bocce, Table Tennis and Foosball table were great for the evening
- The Villa had a laundry machine
-The Villa itself was great, spacious, well kept, good water pressure, AC in every room.
-The owners were very nice and welcoming.
Some of the negatives for us:
-The pool did not have a heater and was quite cold, certainly too cold to swim at night, which would have been nice.
-There must have been a Wasps nest nearby as we were swarmed when eating outside.
-The cleaner did not bring additional toilet paper, so we ran out near the end of the week. It would have been nice if these were refilled without us having to request more.
-The price for owner arranged dinners was quite expensive (90Eur per person) so we did not partake.
- Careful with the use of the Sauna as it will drive up the electricity very quickly and may require you to pay extra (Gabriele let us off the hook for some minor overages)

Thank you so much for your review , your point of view and sahring your feed back, we really appreciate it as all our guests tought are reason to improve our work and do better daily.
I need only to point out a couple of thing referring this review.
The most important is that we will be always at guests disposal with our staff and even personally, so for any need we really appreciate when guests raised the point in the moment in order to immedialtely provide support
-pool: the fact that our pool is not heated is clear in all our listings, so we do not expect our guests will give this as a negative point.Normally our guests use the swimming pool till autumn (open from March 31st till October 31st) as for the good sun exposure. The swimming pool is under the sun from the sunrise till the sunset. I belive this is a very personal and individual feeling
-Wasps: we are not down town but in the middle of chianti area with olive trees and vineyards around... we never had wasps nest in any case if this happens was enough to call us and we will move immediately to take it out.
-Toilet paper: We always provide a first forniture of toilet items and kitchen items for all our guests, we also keep some for spare. In case guests will finish and need it before the end of the week was enough to ask our staff and immediately provide.
-Dinners: I am sure this is a misunderstanding. The price of our dinners is eu 60 per person for a meat dinner with bistecca alla fiorentina. This will be for private dinners in villa, with a private chef , staff and bevarage inclusive in the price . Duration 6 hours (3 of preparation and 3 of service) The 90 eu per person was for a private cooking class (with personal chef and staff) together with lunch or dinner
- electricity: this is inclusive 300 kw and normally is hard to exceed with a normal use. In any case as per your review Gabriele most of the time, if the difference is not too big, will not ask for it. Most of our guests told us that was enough even for some Sauna's sessions, we also did test before to decide to provide 300 kw for free.
