October 2024WOW, WOW it was just amazing! Our only regret was not staying more time at this place. It was a small jewel in the middle of Tuscany, the room was very nicely decorated, the grounds very well kept, the atmosphere so peaceful, and Giovanni super friendly. They also have us great recomendations, the restaurant we visited because of them was, with no doubt, the best in our trip. We will be back!
Giovanni e la sua famiglia persone squisite, disponibili e alla mano. La location , immersa nel verde e nella tranquillità ci ha lasciato a bocca aperta. Se dovete scegliere un posto dove andare e pernottare vi consiglio vivamente questo! Posizione ideale per raggiungere poi le meravigliose città di Siena,Firenze, passando per Monteriggioni piuttosto che San Gimignano. Che dire poi della cucina Toscana… del vino.. dell olio.. si commentano da soli Grazie ancora a chi ci ha ospitato, sicuramente faremo ritorno, anche nel periodo estivo per poter usufruire della piscina !!????

It was a true delight to stay in this lovely Apartment set in the scenic hills of Tuscany . We could not have wished for a better experience . Giovanni and his family are warm and friendly and very hospitable . A perfect stay highly recommended by us !
DanielleBerlino, GermaniaSept. 2025One of our best stays ever! The apartment is beautifully appointed on a gorgeous and peaceful property centrally located in Tuscany. It felt like home and Giovanni (Yasmine’s Father) lives next door. They are extremely responsive and attentive while still giving maximum privacy. Very nice people with excellent recommendations, helpful services….this is a 20/10. Thank you for the most lovely 8 days-we miss it already!

Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel chez Giovanni.
Notre hôte a été très sympathique, nous a aidé lors du départ pour pouvoir profiter de notre journée de départ. C’est vraiment quelqu’un de gentil et de prévenant. Autour du logement, c’est magnifique. Le logement, la piscine, le jardin et le paysage tout est beau. Tout était propre et il y avait des draps à disposition. Très calme le soir, on a bien dormi.
Il y a de très belles villes autour dont casole du val d’Elsa où nous avions bien Très bien mangé.
Je conseille fortement ce logement.
Beautiful property in the middle of Tuscany! Close to some our favorite cities including; Siena, San Gimignano, Pienza and Montepulciano. Would be a great place to stay for a few days and explore the Tuscan countryside. The villa is beautiful and the family is very friendly and helpful – would love to visit again when we have more time to relax!
CarleyCan’t say enough good things about our stay. Our host Giovanni and family made us feel immediately welcomed. The place is beautiful and private. They were very flexible and accomodating with check in and check out times, as well as providing great recommends for dining, things to do etc. Would definitely come back, thanks again!
Gorgeous medieval house in the fields of Tuscany. Cosy, beautifully decorated rooms. The owners are very kind and caring. The best place for an authentic Tuscan experience.
(Oct. 2025) Had a truly wonderful stay. Great location that was an easy drive to many villages, including Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, and Florence. The place itself was very clean and lovely, and Giovanni met me at the gate to check in. I would love to return here again – highly recommend!

Our stay in Giovanni and family’s wonderful apartment was amazing. It is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a week stay. The garden was a lovely private space and we enjoyed the lush communal swimming pool.
We loved the area and the recommendations of the hosts (such as pizzas at La Pergola and the town of Pienza and nearby villages). Worth also checking out for future visitors are Dulcisinfundo (restaurant), Dalet Centro IllustroLibreria (bookshop) and superb live classical music in San Gimigniano (tickets via tourist office). For a vegan treat you can try I Pini next to San Gimigniano.
We hope to be back!
My stay was phenomenal! The entire family went out of their way to support my journey through their suggestions and quick communication. The property is gorgeous and the room is extremely special – it’s as though old world charm met modern Tuscany. They left fresh roses at my bedside and I ate a home cooked meal in their kitchen. It felt like home away from home. Do not miss staying at this special place if you want to explore Tuscany!
Giovani is a wonderful host! Very open and helpful. Always smiling! His borgo is a magical and unforgettable place for a wonderful Tuscan holiday. The subtle bird shows were amazing! I highly recommend Giovani and his borgo!
September 2023Giovanni, Tessa and family are the most wonderful hosts I’ve ever had. Incredibly generous, kind and all round beautiful people. The suite is exactly what the pictures paint it to be – charming, cosy and you immediately feel right at home. The surroundings are everything that you’d wish for in a Tuscan holiday and all the sights are very accessible. I feel so grateful to have been able to stay here. Giovanni, Tessa, Yasmine, Cassia and their 3 sweet cats will be friends for life.
What a gorgeous place! We could have stayed much longer. Excellent location as a launching off point for visiting many of the Tuscany highlights, this place is right in the center of all of them. The recommendations for restaurants and vineyards were absolutely spot on as well. Highly recommend!
September 2024Absolutely authentic feeling and experience in the beautiful medieval borgo. Good location to travel around the region and after daily tours to return to this peaceful temporary home. We slept like babies:) Giovanni was clear, friendly and welcoming. All the luck for Giovanni and his family:)
