Our host was responsive to our questions and needs. He also arranged a women to come to the property and prepare dinner for us on two separate nights.To our host, thank you.
Beautiful. We had 7 wonderful days at La Porticciola. Alessandro the host was very approachable and even arranged for a cook to come in for 2 nights. Imagine sitting on the terrace having a wonderful meal below the lights of San Gimignano. Magical
Lovely large 4 bedroom house with spectacular views of San Gimignano. Really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this rental. Everything was perfect including the pool. Alessandro
Absolutely adored this house, location and host. Alessandro is a very responsive and helpful host. We had a couple of severe storms and he checked in to make sure I was fine (there was a period where I was by myself). The rooms are large, air conditioned and comfortable. The pool is very relaxing, especially after a hot day. I hope to come back some day!! Highly recommend
It's been 19 years since we last went to San Gimignano, not much has changed - the same beautiful town. All logistics (check in/check out etc) were very smooth and relaxed. The location was fabulous for us, nice and quiet but only a short drive to the town. Parking has always been a problem, but if you go early/late you can get the best spaces. The pool was very welcome given it was 39 degrees most days of our stay. Id definitely recommend and hope to be back one day.
The property is walking distance to San Gimignano. The house has air conditioning and it is definitely a must in the summer. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The host is attentive and very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay.
The views of San gimignano are amazing from the outside seating area. Close enough to walk or a short drive into town but feels like a rural setting.
Alessandro is also very helpful and the villa is well stocked. Pool are is great.
Best part is going into town after the hordes of tourists board their buses back to Firenze.
This is a truly lovely house in an amazing spot. Very walkable to San Gimignano but also feels quite and private. The host is very accessible, extremely helpful and will connect you to any added things you might need during your stay. The pool feels amazing on a hot day and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Alessandro is the consummate host....responsive and attentive. His home is a dream destination within walking distance to San Gimignano. It was an idyllic spot for four couples to cement our friendship. The pool and the patios made for a perfect Tuscan vacation.
AMAZING! GORGEOUS! SPACIOUS! SPOTLESS! CHARMING! VIEWS SECOND-TO-NONE! CONVENIENT! Everything we could have hoped for and more booking a villa sight unseen! Alessandro - the owner - could not possibly have been more accommodating! From beginning to end, he was responsive, kind, bending over backwards to accommodate our needs. The spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms were perfect for 5 sisters to have their own space after a day of sightseeing! We flew into Florence, rented a vehicle and drove about 1.5 hours to the villa! Upon arrival to San Gimignano, Alessandro met us in town, gave us a lay for the land, and led us to the villa - an easy 5 min drive from town center & and a 15 min breathtaking scenic walk into town. We made this amazing villa with views one shall NEVER FORGET our home base for the week. From here a 2 hour drive to Cinque Terre for a day, a day spent in Lucca and Pisa, another day to Florence and a train ride to Venice from Florence were our highlights! There is a very convenient Park & Ride outside Florence called Villa Costanza to park as long as you wish. From the Park & Ride there is a tram to the Florence Train Station departing every 15 minutes! SO SWEET! Parking in Florence is almost impossible and VERY expensive!
One of our many highlights was having Alessandro's aunt cook a typical Tuscan dinner for us one evening! What a treat and most delicious too!
Alessandro and Villa Porticciola will live in our hearts & minds FOREVER!
We spent a week using this as our base to explore the region. Lots comfortable seating. It was cold the first two days socentral heat, pellet stove and heat pumps worked flawlessly. Allessandro was readily available and easy to work with.
The location and the villa itself made for a wonderful holiday. Alessandro is a fantastic host, very proactive and helpful. We highly recommend the villa.
Its worth noting the fine print that not included in the rental price, to be paid on the spot: Final cleaning, Local tax, Heating, Air Conditioning.
The house met and exceeded all our expectations. The location is absolutely amazing and the views of San Gimignano and the country side are all postcard worthy. The house itself was as advertised and met all our needs. There was plenty of space for 3 couples to gather and to have separate space when desired. The location was a great "home base" for all our sight seeing during the week. Alessandro was an excellent host. Communication was very helpful and prompt from the time of booking all the way thru the visit. He provided guidance for a chef to come to the house (phenomenal meal) as well as places to book tours, bikes, etc. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Allesandro!
The house was so perfect for our party! We each had our own room en suite. The location was just close enough to San Gimignano without being in the middle of everything. The views were spectacular and the villa had everything we needed. Of course, we didn't want to leave. Alessandro was awesome!
This was a comfortable property with lovely patios to sit and enjoy the truly breathtaking views. Walkable to the lovely town of San Gimignano and close enough to Florence and many other towns if you’d like to do day trips. Host was easily reachable and accommodating. Great vacation.
We absolutely loved our stay at the villa. It was my 70th birthday and we celebrated with our children and grandchildren. The villa was all that we dreamed it would be. Plenty of room for 7. Gorgeous views. A short walk into town. It was quite hot during our stay and we used the pool daily. The location of the villa was ideal for us to to be able to attend a cooking class, a winery tour in Montepulciano, a truffle hunt, a medieval festival in Volterra and a trip to Pienza. Alessandro is a wonderful host. He helped us with drivers, restaurants, wine and best of all his aunt cooked a lovely Tuscan dinner for us. We will treasure our memories forever and highly recommend this villa. Grazie mille, Alessandro!
We all had a wonderful relaxing time and couldn’t fault the villa, it was excellent. Great location and views. Would highly recommend. Alessandro a great host.
I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at this beautiful villa for a week. We celebrated our 40th anniversary and we’re joined there by our one year old granddaughter.
Alessandro was a great host and checked on us frequently to see if we needed anything. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and brought us equipment for the baby and more. Best of all he brought in a chef who prepared an excellent dinner for all of us on the night of our anniversary. The house is incredible snd the view of the medieval city from the villa is stunning. Highly recommend this one!
Our family had a wonderful stay in this charming home. It was the perfect base from which to explore the region, and the proximity to San Gimignano was ideal. It was an easy 15-20 minute walk into this beautiful old walled town. Right outside the main town gates is a Coop supermarket where we were able to purchase all our staples. Alessandro was welcoming and very responsive to our needs. The views of San Gimignano from the house and patio are spectacular and we spent much quality time relaxing and taking in the gorgeous Tuscan setting. Gracie Mille!
Wir waren schon mal vor zwei Jahren dort, und das Ferienhaus ist unfassbar gepflegt, mit wunderbaren Blick auf San Gimignano. Super Gastgeber. Top Swimmingpool, sehr ruhig alles großartig.
