Conveniently located in hilltop town, with multiple (excellent) restaurants within short walking distance. Easy to get to Florence/Siena Autostrada, San Gimignano, etc.
Spacious property with garden and views - well equipped.
Very enjoyable.
The house is spacious, interesting and has everything needed for a holiday. The garden is a huge bonus - room to relax with a view (and grapes on the vine!). It was a joy to stay in an historic house in such an interesting town, with shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. We had a delicious meal at the owner’s restaurant too.
My husband and I spent 3 days at the Photographer’s house. It is very spacious, has a lovely back yard, it is very quiet and close to restaurants. Lorenzo was very helpful and informative. It was quite the experience. We loved our stay!
Ein individuelles, sehr schönes Haus mit einem wunderbaren abgeschlossenen Garten und tollem Blick.
hervorragender Ausgangspunkt für kulturelle Unternehmungen. Auch schöne Wanderungen direkt vom Haus aus möglich.
Rundum zu empfehlen!
Wunderbares Ferienhaus mit schönem Garten in der historischen Altstadt von Colle di Val d'Elsa
Wir hatten eine angenehme Woche in Colle di Val d'Elsa.
Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet, geräumig und die Zimmer verteilt über 3 Ebenen. Sehr gute Restaurants sind in der Nähe und Siena, San Gimignano und Volterra innerhalb von 30 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
We spend a wonderful 2 weeks in this house, situated in the middle of the medieval town of Colle di Val d'Elsa. The owner and her son (who speaks perfect english) were wonderful hosts. The check in was easy, short and grisp as well as check out and change of towels and bed linnen at the middle of our stay. All the restaurant recommendations where perfect and in walking distance from the property. The pictures of the property you find on the homepage here on fewo-direct.de are a 1:1 presentation of how the property looks and feels.
The location is perfect for trips to Siena, Florence, San Gimigniano and other pretty places in Tuskany and Chianti.
If we decide to further explore this area we defenitely will come back. For people considering this house for their next stay - we only can recommend it and thank Laura and Lorenzo for their warm welcome and caring for us during our stay. They are the perfect host.

I have been here for a week with my two children. Parking at the house is not possible and therefore we had agreed on a slightly further parking space. The welcome from Laura and her son who speaks English very well was very warm and friendly. She showed us the house and everything looked well cared and clean. Then she took a photo of our passports and I paid the tourist tax (15 euros).
It is a beautiful spacious house with three floors and a beautiful garden with various fruit trees and grape plants. Despite the very hot week (approx. 35 degrees) the house was fairly cool due to the thick walls. We always had the windows open to ventilate, I did not use the mobile air conditioning in the bedroom. In the large cozy kitchen downstairs, with access to the garden and the beautiful view, we spent the most time. Just like the rest of the house, the kitchen is completely furnished and I have cooked several times. The fridge is Italian style and not as cold as I am used to at home. With my height (190 cm) I had to be careful when walking underneath a few low crossbars. Also the shower didn't quite fit my height.
We have not seen much of Colle Val d'Elsa, but we did enjoy a few delicious meals at Santa Caterina (café and pizzaria). We have made trips to San Gimignano, Florence and Siena.
