Spacious, Comfortable Apartment for exploring Tuscany

The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. The gardens and pool were well tended with lots of beautiful rose bushes. The location is nice for exploring Certaldo and San Gimignano. The host, Mario was very hospitable and charming to speak with. He told us a lot about the history of the area, which we enjoyed.

Heerlijk vertoeven

Heerlijk verblijf in Podere San Luigi. Vriendelijke en behulpzame gastfamilie, een werkelijk prachtige tuin, met heel veel verschillende rozen. Leuke zitjes, in de zon en schaduw. Mogelijkheden om in de tuin te picknicken. Een heel mooi en goed onderhouden zwembad.

A hilltop paradise

Well appointed, comfortable, lovely hosts on site. If you want to enjoy the Tuscan countryside, the view of the olive groves and the vineyards, this is a great place. Refreshing pool for those warm days as well. The ultimate relaxation vacation.

Sprookjesachtig!!

Erg mooie locatie. Alles In het appartement is oké . Geen afwaskwast en pannen zijn er niet veel!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar, 2020
Hi Nettie, thank you so much for your feedback that recommend us adding some utensils to the kitchen. We will certainly take it in mind. As for the method of washing dishes, in Italy usually no brush is used but the sponge as a habit, I had never thought of putting a brush. But we can do it without problems. Thank you very much again for your visit.

a great Tuscany experience

We loved staying here - the apartment is wonderfully equipped and relatively cool after the heat of the day. The pool is wonderful and the views are spectacular. The property is well situated for easy access to many of the attractions of Tuscany and we could have stayed there for very much longer. The garden is restful, mature and peaceful. Our hosts are friendly without overwhelming. All round it was a great experience. Tudor and Anna Griffiths

Best in Tuscany

Mario, Annalinda and Valentina are the very best of host. From Podere San Luigi we took day trips to Seina, Volterra, Montipulciano and Florence. At the end of each day we took the most important trip back to what easily became, "Home". Waking at dawn and watching the sunrise over the valley was like gazing into Heaven. The sounds of nature are abundant and peaceful, only disturbed by the occasional bark of the family dog as he announced a passer by. Having a vehicle is a must, it gives you the freedom to come and go as you please. My advice to anyone planning a trip to Tuscany is to avoid the tour packages that limit your time and steer you to the tourist traps. Get out on your own and explore the riches of Tuscany. And by all means book your stay at Podere San Luigi.

Idylle Pur

Haben dort Mitte Mai für knapp zwei Wochen gewohnt. Die Nähe bzw. die Mitte der Toskana hat diese Unterkunft für uns in den Fokus gerückt. Bis nach San Gimignano braucht man nur 8 Minuten. Nach Certaldo (nächster großer Supermarkt) 10 Minuten. Der Weg zur Unterkunft geht über einen alten Pilgerweg, so dass einem dort Wanderer, Fahrradfahrer und loser Untergrund entgegenkommen. Mit einem tiefergelegten Fahrzeug oder einem Sportwagen ist man hier definitiv falsch. Die Unterkunft bietet ein gut funktionierendes WLAN (bis an den Pool), internationales Fernsehen (de, fr, en, it z.b.), sowie gut ausgestattete kleine Küche sowie eine ordentliche Klimatisierung. Der Garten um den Hof bietet einen Vielzahl an Pflanzen in Hülle und Fülle; zum Beispiel legt die Familie viel Wert auf ihre Rosen (ca. 200 Stück). Wer also Blumen - und insbesondere Rosen - liebt, ist hier goldrichtig. Es steht ein eingezäunter Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück zur Verfügung - hier können auch Motorräder sicher abgestellt werden. Um den Hof herum hat man einen herrlichen Blick über Weinberge, Olivenhaine und Weizenfelder. Der Pool ist unbeheizt und hatte zu unserem Besuch ca. 21 Grad Celsius - gerade perfekt an einem heißen Tag - ansonsten im Mai evtl. noch etwas kühl. Wenn man der Straße folgt (ca. 200 m) findet man sogar noch ein kleines Restaurant/Hotel - dort wird in der Hauptsaison auch Frühstück angeboten. Es gibt 4 Apartments, eines davon mit Balkon und ein weiteres mit Terrasse. Das Apartment mit Terrasse liegt jedoch in Richtung Straße und am Eingang zu den anderen Appartements und somit kann einem jeder Mitbewohner auf den Teller schauen. Grundsätzlich bietet das Grundstück zwischen Haus und Pool aber mehrere Möglichkeiten zu viert zu sitzen und zu essen. Die Besitzer haben einen Hund und zwei Katzen - man sieht die Tiere jedoch sehr selten. Wir würden wieder kommen.
