About this property

MONTEGONFOLI 2 Apartment in countryside of San Gimignano with amazing views 4+2

Montegonfoli 2 is an apartment with two double bedrooms, with living room/kitchen, suitable for 4 adults and two children under 12 years old. Montegonfoli 2 is part of the farmhouse of the same name, a sort of small and ancient village made up of 4 buildings, located on the top of the highest hill in the district, which gives it an incomparable view of San Gimignano and the Tuscan hills. The ancient farmhouse, built between the 17th and 18th centuries, has been renovated with passion and dedication and divided into 6 comfortable apartments, probably the largest in the area, with dimensions between approximately 60 and 95m2.
The property also includes a plot of land of 23 hectares, divided between vineyards, which produce prestigious grapes such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti Colli Senesi, olive groves (we have around 1000 trees), arable fields (wheat, sunflowers, rapeseed, etc.) and a fantastic forest through which a stream flows, a place where adults and children alike love to go on short excursions. Our facility is located very close to the center of San Gimignano, exactly two km as the crow flies, and 3.6km by road, and therefore enjoys both the advantages of the countryside and proximity to the town centre. Those who love animals will find wonderful company in the horses of our neighbors, who run a well-known riding school, from which hourly excursions depart into our countryside and woods. The neighbors also run a special restaurant, extremely "SOCIAL", famous for its good food and for the owner's ability to socialize and entertain diners from all over the globe.

Great location, nice place but not again
Great location , but not again Maybe we caught them on a bad week ?It felt very owner dominated? The manager was nice , but at times felt like acting on owners pedantic and overburdening rulesArrival was easy and welcoming... a bottle of wine was given ... a nice touch.It feels very much like a place that wants to make money from tourists but does not want them there?I am all for rules.... it’s my job but they need to be enforced in a reasonable and balanced way !The first was a passive/aggressive approach to diving ... I get it ... no diving sensible. But the 4 children are all competent swimmers ... and because occasionally just dive in ... it was always deep end (approx 2 metres) ...,They were chastised over this ... maybe would have been best to monitor this instead of clamping down immediately! Next one ... my eldest stepson has ADHD and autism ... so we are fully aware of monitoring his behaviour ... Day 1 we gently told the kids to keep a check on their noise ... although they were not noisier than any other 4 children. Day 2 the owner was in the block near the pool in reception... after about 30 minutes the owner came out gesticulating in Italian ... the pool is for everyone ... stop the noise ... the noise level was 4 kids in a pool ... yes noise but not excessive!On Day 1 the eldest son had difficulty getting WiFi in apartment so took a dining chair onto step ..... he was told off for this ... even though the chair was probably £40 max .... The pool also had rules .... opening 9:00. - 130 —- 3-7:30 ... just weird and very inconvenient. What do you actually do with 4 wet children for 90 minutes???It became apparent that the owners wanted this protected time for them ... I get it but don’t run a tourist business ..To add annoyance the female owner came into pool during tourist time ... no issue but rules should be consistent!I also observed a tiny German boy being told off for spinning a shade on the sunbed ... really no issue ! I am not sure if the rules were consistently enforced ... one time a German father and son were throwing an inflatable ball to each counting ... quite loudly ... ein ... zwei ... drei.. . Maybe they were told in a passive:aggressive way stop counting loudly ? Oh and inflatables are banned ... I am guessing they were as as they spent little time around the pool ... like us . We had three unexpected trips to Florence , Siena & San Gimignano... all wonderful but cost an extra to £500 to budget . Nice .. but not kids

We enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed staying here. The property and place was very clean . It’s an older place and and a little remote. Our host was nice and booked a wine tour for us. Host checked on us as well. It was quiet. Hair blow dryer available on request . No air conditioner (not needed). Heater is extra charge (not needed). I would recommend staying here if you are ok with driving to see anything. It was a restful 5 days ! Thanks !

Exceptional Service and Location
Stunning views! Bruno was so very helpful -- arranged dinner reservations and horseback riding for us. The only thing that was not perfect was the weather -- and if he could, Bruno would have changed that for us! Accommodations worked great for our family of 4 and the location is excellent. Close enough for convenience and far enough away to avoid the tour buses and large crowds! Our sons hiked to San Gimignano and said it was a great hike. Excellent grocery in Poggibonsi.

Stunning setting for a Tuscan holiday
Gorgeous setting close to San Gimignano, Florence and Siena. Property is very nicely managed by Paulo and Bruno, who made our stay very comfortable. Apartments are quiet, comfortable and can be combined to accommodate almost any number of people in your party. Great for families and groups of friends. An incredible value and a great getaway from city noise.

Excellent
Beautiful views of the country side and San Gimignano. We stayed 14 days to visit the surroundings, so every day a different old town. Place very convenient since it is so close , 10 min from San Gimignano, Florence 45 min, Siena 30 to 45 min. Pisa less than 2 hours; and we usually took the Ecological alternative in the GPS to get to our destinations. From the big gibing our contact Paolo was very kind and informative. We were very well received by Bruno upon arrival who continued to be very helpful during our stay. Very clean and comfortable apartment!

The best of Tuscany
It was a perfect experience - amazing views, great service and comfortable rooms. The location is perfect for exploring Tuscany. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place - even with other guest staying, there is enough privacy. And I loved the wine! Thank you very much! I will have to come back again!

Exceptional!
The property was apsoulutly perfect. The views of San Gimignano and the vineyards all around were so pretty. The pool looked tempting although the weather was not warm enough to jump in. Bruno the caretaker was so kind and helped us with transportation into San Gimignano and offered to take us to the train station. He typically is so busy on site but while our stay it was slow. We really appreciated all he did from driving to making us cappuccino in the morning with a chocolate crusiant. We hope to come back again but stay longer than a weekend. If your looking for quiet and tranquility this is the place!!!
