We stayed for one week at Le Rondini (Pogetto di Montese).
The initial impression is quite stunning as the property has an amazing picture postcard view of San Gimignano. The actual property is very typical Tuscan - not luxurious by any means but quite comfortable. The living room area is detached from the bedroom/kitchen and we found this quite inconvenient so did not really use it that much. The shower room is a bit cramped and a bit dim (could do with some new lighting).The owners were very friendly and if you stay here earlier in the year you can take advantage of the vegetable garden.The overall impression is one of tranquility and we loved the location but would have preferred something a little more modern. It is situated quite some distance from the town of San Gimignano and so a car is essential.

Beoordeling Huurder: 4/5.

This property is one of two stylish barn conversions next to the owners house. It is simply but comfortably furnished for six people (except there was only seating in the lounge area for four). The building is cut into the hillside with the bedrooms downstairs. This no doubt keeps them nice and cool in summer, but when we were there they suffered from damp despite central heating. Castelnuovo has all amenities and is very central for the Garfanana region, but bear in mind the property is a quarter of a mile up a steep and narrow poorly surfaced lane, but by the same token has spectacular views of the mountaneous countryside around. We particularly liked the roofed terrace area at the rear of the property for sunbathing and al fresco meals. The log fire came in useful on cool October nights and Paulo kindly supplied logs for us.

We rented the “Torre del Cielo” from 28 August to 4 September, 7 nights (my wife and I with a baby and a toddler, along with the two (single) brothers and my wife's parents.

We had a truly great and memorable week. The house is ample and charming, the grounds huge and lovely (particularly the pool area, with its gorgeous green surroundings and first-class Tuscany scenery views), and the owner and his parents the sort of warm, decorous and attentive people you want to keep in touch with afterwards. (For example, they learned that my wife had a B-day during the week, and they baked us a delicious traditional pie and brought us a nice bottle of bubbly!)

The near-by little medieval hill-top town, Monterchi, the jewel of the valley in the center of which it sits, is in full view from the house and a few minutes by car. It has a quiet square at the top, with a small tratoria straight out of a culinary dream.

As for the daily excursions around Tuscany and Umbria, within anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half you can reach a multitude of enchanted destinations that take your breath away (sort of a theme park on the ‘wow’ factor, only REAL and centuries old!)

Since it is mandatory to list at least one complaint, we were expecting to find internet connection at the house, but when we asked about it we were told that the connection was very slow but that there was proper internet available in Monterchi (however the owner told us that there will be ADSL connection available from next season on!!!). As for the lovely pool, the otherwise exquisite balance of sunshine and freshness at the point of the year we stayed there made the water just a touch on the cold side, at least for the little ones (who never the less had a blast around the property and with the swing set installed thoughtfully for young ones).

In conclusion, we want to go back, and we will try to, and of course that is the best recommendation possible.
