Details Recensie:
We shared Podere lo Spadino with 3 other couples in September 2011 and used it as a base for our stay in Tuscany.
The villa itself provided lots of space for 8 in a high quality newer stone-built building with beamed ceilings and lots of character. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, each with its own ensuite bathroom. We entertained friends staying in the nearby Podere Lazzarona two evenings and had lots of tableware for a crowd of 13. Water temperature seemed to be a bit of an issue for some of our party; it sometimes seemed cold when it was wanted hot; and sometimes warm when it was wanted cold. This was never a problem for us, so perhaps it is an issue with some of the rooms only. (Or maybe we were the first to shower!) It was great to have access to laundry facilities. While we as a couple tended to eat out, some of our friends made good use of the kitchen for their breakfasts and even lunches.
The Montagnani family live on the property below the rental space and couldn't be more welcoming and friendly. Barbara speaks English; and as I speak some Italian this allowed us to talk with some of the other family members (who are all very nice people) and so communication was not an issue.
The location was outstanding - Podere lo Spadino is beautifully situated on a gentle rise looking toward San Gimignano. It was wonderful to have San G as our 'home base' town as it was so picturesque. We had a quick breakfast in San G at several different cafes, and it was nice to see the town before the arrival of the hordes of tourists. We also ate dinner at restaurants in San G with the group on 3 evenings. We were very conveniently situated for those who wanted to visit Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Montepulciano, or the Chianti area. Some of the small cities and towns closer by are also very interesting, particularly Volterra, but we also enjoyed Certaldo and Monteriggioni.
I would have no hesitation recommending Podere lo Spadino to anyone looking for a comfortable higher quality place to stay in central Tuscany.
