Amazing location - great host

The home and cottages were perfect for our family trip of 10 adults. The view of Montepulciano from the patio, the pool, the property itself all amazing! Amazing location for day trips throughout Tuscany - Florence, San G, etc… easily accessed.Nathan is an AMAZING HOST - everything we needed from groceries ahead of time to restaurant reservations, tour guides that were all terrific. He was so helpful. Simply outstanding host!!Opportunity for perfection? Tune up the air conditioning units and trim the mulberry tree in courtyard. Otherwise, simply amazing. Couldn’t go wrong staying here.

Chill Tuscan Vibes with Friendly, Easy Communication

We really loved staying at Villa Il Gelso. Mariacristina was super communicative before the trip, answering all our questions quickly and making planning easy. Once we arrived, she had others checking in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly, which was nice and took the pressure off.The villa itself is gorgeous—comfortable, stylish, and with amazing views. The pool was perfect for relaxing after days of exploring Tuscany. All in all, a great experience with thoughtful hosts who made sure we had what we needed without being overbearing.Would definitely recommend if you want a beautiful spot and friendly, easygoing communication. Thank you!

Perfect location and beautiful bedrooms

I have rented many villas and this stay was up there among the best. Wonderful villa, everything was clean and worked properly and I can’t emphasize enough how great the location was. When you stay there go to Casa Newton for cocktails, beautiful boutique hotel a six minute drive away.

"Hostess With The Mostest"

Nine of us spent a wonderful week at Villa II Gelso. It was as lovely as the description and accommodated both our group activities and meals, as well as plenty of spots to get away from the group with a book or a nap. But the real jewel was our hostess, Mariacristina. For the year leading up to our trip there she patiently answered a ton of questions, always responding within hours of our emails. She gave us some great recommendations and helped arrange a visit to De Ricci, an amazing winery, and a chef who came to the villa to make us a couple dinners. She even led a yoga class for us on the grounds! While we were there she was immediately responsive to any of our requests. She had described her villa to me as "shabby chic" and I would add to that extremely cozy and welcoming.

Tuscan Haven

Fantastic stay in beautiful property . Best villa we’ve stayed in and we’ve stayed in many. Good bathrooms and good kitchen equipment here .These two things have let other properties down. Nice quality glassware and cutlery , not the usual mismatch. Villa is in peaceful location , yet handy for the lovely town of Montepulciano and its restaurants and supermarket . Excellent, easy communication with Mariecristina . Highly recommended

Tuscany dream vacation!

Our extended family travelled to Tuscany for two weeks and this property was everything we hoped for. The views are amazing, the main villa and casitas have plenty of amenities. the host Mariacristina provided great suggestions for groceries, places to visit and restaurants around the area. Highlights of our trip included a winery tour, day trips to Florence, Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena and Rome (to name a few), a cooking class at the villa and plenty of time lounging by the pool admiring the local surroundings. Thanks for such an amazing vacation!

I gave Villa IL Gelso and Mariachristina my highest 5 star rating.

Wow - I don't know where to begin. We absolutely loved the time we spent here. The Villa was exactly as described - rustic, private, clean, peaceful, comfortable and with all the modern conveniences. It was hot for a few weeks and the air conditioning worked great. The location is 15 minutes to Montepulciano and even less time to Pienza. Close enough to food shopping and anything else you need, but far enough away to really sense that you are in the Tuscany countryside. The grounds and pool are well maintained and the views and sunsets are amazing. The cleaning crew came every Saturday to change towels, sheets and do a thorough cleaning of all 3 houses. Mariacristina was a great host and always made herself available for questions, recommendations and any minor issues that came up. We hired a cook to come twice and our entire family had a wonderful time and the food was absolutely delicious. I gave Villa IL Gelso and Mariachristina my highest 5 star rating. Thank you so much for a unforgettable vacation.

Stunning villa and location

We were a group of 4 couples (family and friends) that have just returned from a fantastic week at IlGelso. Mariacristina is so welcoming, friendly and helpful. She was very quick to respond if we needed any help or advice. The villa, grounds and views are spectacular. It’s nicely laid out with 3 double bedrooms in the main villa and 2 separate cottages (which are amazing). This works well as it gives each couple their own space. The swimming pool is absolutely wonderful – it’s so clean and inviting, well maintained and a good size for swimming. There are plenty of loungers for sunbathing and the view is amazing. The location is great and we visited lovely towns and villages. We enjoyed visits to Montepulciano, Pienza and Montefollonico as well as some local wineries. However, we chose to spend much of our time at the villa around the pool relaxing and enjoying the views and the peace and quiet. We all had a wonderful week and recommend the villa and Mariacristina without hesitation.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Our family had an amazing vacation week at the property. If there are any questions, the response time is very fast. It is prefect for multigenerational travel. Mariachristina's property is as beautiful as in the photos and is a relaxing place to spend family time. Local towns are very convenient to visit and all of the recommendations we received worked out perfectly. The grandchildren loved the pool and the evenings by the fire were very nice. The recommended chef prepared our dinner and that was a true culinary experience. We enjoyed our time very much.

Tuscan charm with Modern Furnishings

Villa Il Gelso is a beautiful property with the all the benefits of a quiet countryside location with views of Montepulciano and the modern furnishings you would expect in a city hotel. It all combines for a perfect place to relax in comfort and enjoy the many villages just a short drive away. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the villa and all of the nearby activities that come with it. Mariacristina is a great hostess and was happy to arrange multiple activities including truffle hunting with Pierpaolo, chef nights at the villa with Alessandro, and wine tasting at a small family Brunello estate which was the best winery experience any of us had ever had. She was very attentive to our needs which was much appreciated. We will be back!

Excellent villa, excellent area

This was a family trip with 9 people ages 84-17 and we all agree that it was perfect. The villa was clean and beautiful and easily accomodated all of us. Set on a hillside with views of Montepulciano, it was private, yet convenient. The pool and area around it was a favorite spot, as was the kitchen. Maria Christina helped arrange for local Chef Allesandro to prepare a welcome dinner and also a private cooking class later in the week. I was a highlight of the trip for several of us! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
