A wonderful Tuscan retreat!
Publié le 7 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayThis villa does not disappoint! We had a family of twelve including eight adults, three children, and one baby. It was the perfect space for our family. Each bedroom was equipped with its very own bathroom. We were all very comfortable in our space. We would take day trips to different cities and retreat to our villa in the evening time. We would either cook dinner ourselves or have the private chef cook wonderful meals for us. Watching the sunset at the villa was incredible. One of our favorite things to do was play bocce ball on the court! So fun! We would come back in a heart beat. The hosts were also very responsive to our needs.

Beautiful Villa outside of San Gimignano
Publié le 9 avr. 2024 sur HomeAwayGreat villa and property that was fantastic for our group of 12, including 6 children between ages 5 and 11. So much for them to do with the open spaces, various games, pool, etc.
I’ve stayed in Italy with my family three times now and I think this was the best villa and location for driving to many of the great Tuscan cities.

Beautiful
Publié le 27 oct. 2023 sur HomeAwayGroup of 6 couples exploring Tuscany. We loved the Villa. It is large, comfortable, well equipped and it has a spectacular view of San Gimignano and Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed an on-site cooking class and an on-site Chef’s dinner.
We did not have a car for the first 3 days and that was a struggle. We walked to San Gimignano, and it’s a difficult journey. Our group is physically fit, and everyone found it very challenging - up a steep grade for about 45 minutes.
The farm next door (10 min walk) is fantastic for a wine tour/tasting and dining. It was a highlight for us.
Our group loved the bocce court, the large dining tables, and the outdoor covered terrace.
We highly recommend a stay at Villa Iris.

Great Place for Family Reunion
Publié le 30 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe property was exactly as described. We had 11 adults and an infant with us for a week long family reunion. Caterina was excellent to work with and made all the arrangements for us — chef dinners, cooking classes, wine tours, local dinner reservations, tours, and airport transfers. She was great to work with and very responsive. There were plenty of areas to relax and the outdoor dining area was perfect for our group. It is too far to walk into San Gimignano but we were able to walk to the local winery for our farewell dinner — which was very nice. It is a beautiful villa and completely met our expectations. The only negative was that the pool was too cold for most of us to swim despite temperatures in the low 80’s during the day. At night the temperatures were cool. The chef prepared dinners were excellent. Thanks for a fun time at Villa Iris where we made many new family memories.

A Tuscan Paradise
Publié le 29 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayWe heartily agree with all positive comments in the previous reviews! Examples include: The chef's dinners at the villa are delicious and very fun; the villa itself is fantastic, and Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele are delightful to deal with; lunches and dinners at Fattoria Poggio Alloro are excellent; using the villa for short day trips and cooling off in the pool after, made for perfect vacation memories; the nearby Pam supermarket in Poggibonsi is very convenient; the villa's air conditioning works perfectly, even in 90+ temperatures; the Wifi reaches all parts of the property, including the pool area.
Regarding driving in Tuscany: We were uncertain if we'd be able to drive independently with our rental car (knowing from past experience how fast and aggressive the drivers are in Sicily, Rome and Naples). We guessed we'd travel by train instead, but driving proved to be quite easy. The roads are clearly marked and the local drivers, although a little fast, are not a problem. It's really important to download an offline map in Google Maps before you leave home (there are videos in YouTube explaining how to do this). With an offline map downloaded to your phone, you can get driving directions without an internet connection.
On a typical day we explored the area, had a nice lunch, and returned home to cool off in the pool and play bocce. We thank Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele for an amazing vacation, one of our favorites ever. We highly recommend this villa!

Words nor pictures do this place justice
Publié le 2 août 2023 sur HomeAwayWhat an amazing visit. 12 of us descended upon Villa Iris and we all left beaming with light. This place is special and while I'm sure there are other lovely Villas in the area, you cannot go wrong here. Gabrielle and Caterina were amazing at making sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly responsive. Shower snobs will LOVE the water pressure, which was a pleasant surprise. Hanging out by the pool and bocce court was a regular night time routine and we grilled 2x on the outdoor grill, which was spectacular. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great group getaway.

Spectacular Villa Iris
Publié le 18 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayWhat a special place this was. We had 9 guests in our group, all family members, and everyone just loved the place. The owners prepared a fantastic dinner for us on the day of our arrival and it was much appreciated as we had all traveled the entire day. We used the pool daily due to the warm temperatures and it was a great place to relax after a day of touring. The large outside table was also special, as it was our go to place for meals, cards and late night discussions. The location of the Villa makes it easy to travel for day trips in the surrounding area. Thank you for all your hospitality and we will definitely consider returning in the future.

Amazing experience at the Villa Iris!
Publié le 4 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayWe had the best three weeks at the Villa Iris! The owners, car service and property manager were all fantastic. We would go back for sure! We toured 6 villages while we were in Tuscany and by far our favorite was San Gimignano. We highly recomend this Villa and team!

Beautiful stay with amazing hosts
Publié le 12 avr. 2023 sur HomeAwayCaterina, Lucia and Gabriel are truly wonderful hosts. From before I even booked our stay, Caterina answered every question our group had. She helped to ensure we had all of the information we needed to have a wonderful trip, and helped us arrange tours to other towns, chef prepared wine dinners at the villa that were exceptional and winery tours and tasting lunches that were informative and delicious. Caterina and Lucia provided a thorough check in at the Villa, showing us everything we needed to know during our stay at Villa Iris, and we’re available for any questions or concerns we had throughout the week. The response was almost immediate every time and they couldn’t do enough to make sure we were enjoying every moment of our trip.
I have wanted to bring my parents to Italy since I visited my first time back in college, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. From the grounds and pool, to the incredible kitchen and dining room where we were able to share some beautiful meals together as a family, to the bedrooms — Villa Iris is a truly special place and we will be sure to tell all of our family and friends about it (we already have)!
We also wanted to mention how lovely Sonia was as our driver. She is a very safe driver, and knowledgeable of the areas. She helped us get the most out of each experience and was extremely patient and easy going on every trip.
We had an amazing family vacation and that’s due in large part to our stay at Villa Iris. We’re already planning our next trip back!
