Sobre esta propriedade

Your Home in Tuscany near San Gimignano !

The ' Borgo'- off the old Roman ' Via Volterrana 'has been rebuilt from ruins. Italian heritage laws are very strict and the whole village has been reconstructed on the same footprint as the original. Now we have a wonderful place for visitors to come and enjoy the Tuscan countryside within easy reach of all that Tuscany has to share with the world. 'Casa Bartoli' is part of what was a large farm building and is now a modern spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. The bathrooms are beautifully tiled in travertine marble.Terracotta tiled floors and ceilings with huge wooden beams supporting the roof are typical of the area. The main bedroom has a double bed and the second -which is a larger room-has two single beds which can be used as a double bed...both bathrooms have no baths-but showers are excellent with plenty of hot water supplied from the solar( supplemented by gas) system. All kitchen utensils and appliances are new- dishwasher,2 small fridges (one with freezer), gas stove and oven.A small fully automatic washing machine is also provided.The dining area inside seats 6 people comfortably-or dine outside at the 'al fresco' table under the trees... The swimming pool and spa are just wonderful for a dip after a hot days touring. Here you are central to all that Tuscany has to offer.There are many good restaurants nearby- just up the road- the nearest is"' Osteria Il Castagno" a nice little restaurant about a 5 minute drive away. For grocery shopping if you prefer to dine under the trees at home- there is the big PAM supermarket in Poggibonsi, the COOPs in San Gimignano, Montaione and Certaldo or the smaller minimarket in Gambassi Terme. A day trip to Florence ( or Siena )is easy by train from the station in Certaldo,avoiding the driving and parking problems associated with each city. The Chianti Classico wine region can be reached within an hours drive. The ' Borgo ', down a quiet road in the countryside between San Gimignano,Gambassi Terme and Volterra provides "away from it all" tranquility. Please come and enjoy the wonders of the Tuscan countryside from a very central location...

The villa outside Gambassi Terme was the perfect getaway and base in Tuscany for my fiance and me. The house is remote and nestled among several other rentals that all share the pool. We enjoyed the views of Volterra and the tweets of the birds each morning and the sunset by the pool each night. The kitchen was well stocked and Marco gave us recommendations for nearby restaurants to try.The location is great for day trips to San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, Florence, and so many other small medieval towns, farms, and swimming spots.The AC worked well during the hot days, but it was often nicer to open the windows at night for the breeze. We would definitely return and recommend this place to others!

Amazing apartment and environment. Well equiped and cozy. A bit crowded in the pool area but manageable. Do note that you need to drive 20 min to stores but restaurants pops up in the middle of nowhere to be explored. Winetasting was a success from our side. A really good place if you just want to relax but also close to cities like Siena and Florens. We webt to Siena which was amazing. 1hour drive to the sea is recommended.(Cesina)

High expectations did not disappoint!

Tuscany and accommodations were as beautiful as imagined. Our flight was late getting in so we arrived late and in the dark. Difficult to find but once I called Gordon he helped us. Gordon was very responsive to any questions we had. The internet was hit and miss but other than that it was perfect!

Perfection

This rental was everything we hoped for for our trip to Tuscany. The location was perfect for all of our day trips. Gordon and Marco were very kind and responsive to our messages. We had an unexpected delay due to a train strike and Marco worked with us for a seamless check-in. My husband kept saying that the pictures didn't do the rental justice, it really exceeded our expectations. The pool was a nice treat after a long day in the heat (note we should have brought our own pool towels as stated in the rental contract). For future renters, I'd suggest arriving with your own hand soap and paper products for the washrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking.

Excellent rental, great value

We stayed with our teenage daughter in late June. This place was just as listed. Super clean, with high-end finishes and lovely views from every room. The apartment is spacious, with two full bathrooms and a large kitchen. AC worked well. We LOVED the pool area and the amazing view from the pool. There were a few families at the pool at most and the size was just about big enough for short laps. Very convenient to Florence, Sienna and Lucca, though the immediate area was a bit isolated with poor cellular reception and no stores. (There is a farm up the road where you can buy excellent olive oil, eggs etc.) The wifi in the house was also a bit spotty and combined with poor cell reception in the area it sometimes took a few extra minutes to plan our day. Beds were hard but not a dealbreaker. Overall it one of the best places I have ever rented, excellent value. Highly recommend!

I'm not sure we all--we were two couples--had an exact sense of the complex, though the nature of it is definitely implied by the long Vrbo description: a restored, historic borough (mentioned, we learned, in some document, perhaps a map, at the Vatican) and on an unpaved road, which is always in need of grading, that was once a "salt road"--a renovated series of stone and brick buildings consisting of apartments with an international ownership. It's very secluded, with lovely views of the countryside, and quiet. There's a nice swimming pool close by. You can unload and load your car at the property; otherwise, you park in a lot a short distance away. The accommodation itself is self-catering, of course, with whatever provisions are there (including toilet paper) depending on the generosity of the preceding occupants. There are two types of coffee makers in addition to a kettle. I mention these items as they were the most immediately essential to me. As I said, we were four adults (late 60s-early 70s)--the apartment was perfectly adequate for our week-long stay; it was comfortably furnished. Gordon was very helpful beforehand, promptly answering questions about provisions and recommending grocery stores and a nearby restaurant for our first night's dinner. He also graciously put us in touch with another owner whose time there was coinciding with ours. Really, I don't know how things could have been better.

Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war von Anfang sehr angenehm und freundlich. Auch der Empfang vor Ort vom Verwalter Marco war sehr freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit.Die Wohnung und das ganze Feriendorf Borgo Mommiala sind sehr schön. Der Pool ist klasse, nicht überlaufen, sehr modern mit toller Aussicht über die Toskana, Die Wohnung ist komfortabel und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts.Die Lage ist sehr zentral, mitten in der Toskana. San Gimigiano liegt um die Ecke, Volterra, Siena und Florenz sind gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Fazit: Super Wohnung in toller Lage, top Vermieter und perfekte Betreuung durch den Verwalter vor Ort. Alle sind sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und bemüht dem Gast ein super Urlaubserlebnis zu ermöglichen. Es gibt viele nützliche Informationen, eine präzise Anfangsbeschreibung und eine perfekte Einweisung vor Ort.Die Wohnung kann man uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Alles super!!!

Sehr schöne ruhige, etwas abgelegene Unterkunft. Pool war auch sehr schön, leider nicht direkt am Haus. Was fehlte waren gemütliche Gartenmöbel. Vorhanden war ein kleiner runder Tisch und harte Stahlstühle. Negativ empfanden wir das die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit mindestens eine halbe Stunde Autofahrt entfernt war. Der Weg zur Unterkunft war ca. 1,7 km lang und nur über eine Schotterstrecke mit reichlich breiten und tiefen Löchern erreichbar. Bei Nacht würde ich die Strecke nicht befahren.

Dear Harald, Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Gordon Bartley

I am an Australian, my wife is Japanese and we live in Sydney.Both of us have been very interested in travel from an early age, having met in the late 1960's working for a well known Australian airline. We have traveled to many parts of the world-but Florence and Tuscany have become our favourite holiday destinations. We are now retired, still enjoy travel and catering for guests in our Tuscan home.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

My wife and I first visited Florence and San Gimignano in 1995.We then came back numerous times as we loved this part of Tuscany. We made friends with the owners of the Agriturismo we always stayed near San Gimignano and they introduced us to this development at 'Borgo Mummialla' where they and some dedicated local people were going to rebuild the 'Borgo' from total ruins. The village was abandoned many years ago and all the buildings had to be rebuilt from the ground up.Strict heritage laws ensured the reconstruction retained as much of the stone and terracotta etc from the original buildings as possible. Having had dreams of owning a house in Tuscany and knowing the people involved reassured us that this was a top quality development and we took the plunge....in the deep end...we now hope we can share this unique development with other visitors to our house....

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

The original farmhouse buildings have been reconstructed from the ground up using a lot of the old materials,but everything inside is new including a washing machine,beds and all the kitchen appliances and equipment.Hotwater is supplied by a solar system ( with gas heater backup) as much thought went into enviromental best practice. The two bathrooms are beautifully tiled in travertine marble and the plumbing is all new...There are about 6-8 steps up from ground level to the front door-but once inside the apartment all is on one level. Several of the other apartments at 'Borgo Mummialla' are 2 storey,the swimming pool with spa is wonderful and great to come home to after a hot days touring as is the outdoor 'al fresco' dining area under the trees.The outdoor area is for use of 'Casa Bartoli' guests only-unless you invite the neighbours over of course. There is a great view across the valley,with Volterra on the horizon from the kitchen and also the main bedroom..This is our 'dream come true' home in the heart of Tuscany... .
