The property is classic Tuscan with the most amazing view from the garden of San Gimignano just across the valley. We fell in love with "St Jimi" very quickly and you must visit for a meal or wander in the evening when you can imagine it in it's medievil times so much more.

A lovely home with 2 very friendly dogs (Mafi and Olivia) who will love to play with you or sit by you whilst you enjoy the garden or living room! The bathroom is very small, so claustofobes be aware, but modern and sylish. We slept the best ever and I think the clear air, hills and local Chianti for Euro5 a bottle really helped too! Everything you need is here and it felt really like home for a week. Local supermarkets were full of tuscan goodies, it's really hard to not try everything - so pack loose clothes!

Great location, with windy roads to many other lovely places to visit - I would seriously recommend a car to enjoy this area. We visited Sienna (Very hilly but look for the motifs of various "contrada" like road signs on the corners, plus fountains for each too - everything from tortoises to rhinos!, Volterra - very high in the hills with amazing views, Certaldo (small but very old) where we then caught the train to Firenze (Florence, very full of tourists and you'd really have to queue to see any museums). And of course we visited a local vineyard and have many bottles on their way to us now - wish we could have stayed longer.

Would seriously return - with is my best recommendation.

Grazie Mille.
