La Tesa Country House With Pool S. Gimignano

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely property with our adult children. The house worked very well for us as it is actually two apartments, an upstairs and a downstairs, meaning we all had lots of space and the kids had privacy. It had a great sociable space for dining outside. It has two kitchens both well stocked for our needs. The mosquitoes can be a problem (we visited in September). Take lots of repellant. The house was well stocked with plug in anti mosquito devices in every room but you need to get your own refills, readily available in all the local supermarkets. It was located much nearer to San Gimignano than we had expected, only a 10 - 12 min walk. Uphill on the way there but still not onerous. It meant no worries about parking and we could all enjoy wine with dinner when we were eating out and then have an easy walk back. It is located in a lovely country setting even though it is so close to the town with large grounds and olive groves to wander around, roughly 10 acres. The views over the Tuscan countryside are stunning, particularly from the pool area. The owners Vittorio and Marina are delightful, very eager to ensure we enjoyed our stay. They live in a separate property on site but are very mindful of guests privacy. They offered a number of helpful suggestions regarding things to do and the best places to park in Siena and Florence. We needed to access some medical services when we were there and again they were very helpful, even offering to drive us to the facility. We have been trying to learn Italian and they were also very willing and patient allowing us to practice our Italian on them although they do both speak English. Overall a great place to base yourself if you want to explore Tuscany from one convenient location, delightful and helpful owners included.

Our hosts could not have been more friendly and helpful! The villa is lovely and spacious. 2 appartements in one villa, which was great for our family. The pool is a lovely bonus, which we spent most of our days there.

Nous adorons le site et la Toscane !
Nous avons apprécié la proximité avec San Gimignano dans un cadre calme et idyllique. La gentillesse de Vittorio et de Marina a été un plus pour cette location.

We hebben van een zeer fijne vakantie genoten. Een fantastische locatie om te verblijven. De woning is authentiek en vol charme. De 4 slaapkamers hebben elk hun badkamer, wat zeer praktisch is.
De tuin , zwembad omringd door een olijfgaard, zijn wonder mooi.
De gastheren Victoria en Marina zorgen voor een warm ontvangst.

Vidunderligt ophold for 3 generationer.
Skøn Toscansk villa med perfekte 4 værelser , alle med eget bad og toilet.
Pænt og rent. God stor pool. Rigtig god beliggenhed, tilbagetrukket fra byen, med gåafstand til centrum.
Det meget gæstfrie ældre ægtepar, der ejer villa, bor i eget hus på grunden. De holder sig i baggrunden og er meget søde og imødekommende. De sætter en ære i, at vi får det bedste ophold og det lykkedes 100 %.

Charming Place - Charming Owners
This beautiful villa has gorgeous views and is within walking distance of San Gimignano. It was a great base for our day trips to Florence and Chianti.
The owners are very gracious and helpful. For instance - we wanted to find a nice restaurant with a view of San Gimignano from outside the town. Vittorio and Marina actually led us to the restaurant in their car, stopping to show us some local places of interest and areas to get good photos. We appreciated their hospitality.

Great Villa close to San Gimignano
On our arrival, Vittorio and Marina were there to welcome us - they were very helpful during our stay and recommended several great resturants. We stayed for a week in the downstairs villa which is fantastic and well maintained - the pictures of it do not do it justice.

Best place in Tuscany!
It's our last night in Tuscany and our whole family is so sad to be leaving this Tuscan paradise. Not only is the location the best for traveling throughout Toscana and Umbria, but also it's an amazing house that makes you want to stay and just enjoy the world around it! Seriously, we have taken pics of the house to try to recreate it in South Carolina where we live! It's a great home, and Vittorio and Marina are wonderful hosts! We were travelling with 5 kids and 2 adults and used both parts of the house. It was a wonderful oasis to come back to after our day trips throughout the region. Many thanks to Vittorio and Marina for an amazing stay and we hope to be back SOON!
