Super great house in good location!
I rented this little townhouse on short notice for a vacation with my 14 year old. I liked the pics and the description, and the location around San Gimignano was where we wanted to go. The house is exactly like on the pictures. Very tasteful, clean, and well equipped, with nothing missing. The weather in June played along nicely – Tuscany shining in wonderful sunlight. Since June is still pre-season, the complex was very quiet, with always plenty of space at the pool, whose picture here falls short of the reality. The landscaping surrounding it is beautiful, and the view across the rolling hills to the south-east is like a panoramic postcard.
Distances from the house to local landmarks are short: 11km to Gambassi Terme and San Gimignano, about 17km to Certaldo with its wonderful oldtown, about 40km to Siena and 80km to Florence (recommend taking the train there from Certaldo, less stressful). Numerous good restaurants and shopping locations are available in a radius of about 12km.
This would already be plenty for one or two weeks of an interesting and relaxing vacation, but our hosts also deserve a very special mention! Mr. and Mrs. Mocarini are from the area and have been renting their lovingly restored and equipped houses and apartments for a few years now. I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality, generosity and helpfulness. We were provided with all necessary information on the house and the area upon arrival, and also met with our hosts a few times during the vacation. I very much hope to see them again soon ;-)
