It has been mentioned many times that location is great, views are amazing, so I'll focus on the following: Road - yes, it is a gravel road, but it is OK for any normal car (driving there with a Ferrari is not recommendable), nothing difficult and by no means "dangerous". The only issue is when you meet another car in the opposite direction, but there are "pockets" to manage it. Just drive slowly. Don't be mislead by reviews on the popular maps service which in English translation mention bedbugs - there are NO bed bugs in Podere Il Pino. What you have is sometimes small forest bugs - peaceful and nice creatures, no problem at all. In cold months you need to pay for the gas additionally. Although I was a bit disappointed to get to know it only after booking was made, in reality the price was OK (we paid EUR 20 for 2 nights in a big apartment, stayed in February)

1. If you are sensitive to room temperature, in winter it might be a bit chilly inside. Do take some warm socks or slippers if you stay during cold months. 2. Salt, pepper and oil in the kitchen would have been nice to have.

We had an amazing time at Podere il Pino property. The pool and the aroma of the flowers and spices of the gardens of the property, besides the characteristic view of Tuscany with the cypresses view, amid the vineyards, olive trees and sunflowers make the experience unique under the tuscany sun “Sole di Toscane”. I recommend to bring all you need not to leave the property if you don’t want. They have kitchen and laundry available. The staff is amazing! Nearby you have 2 wonderful medieval castle to visit: Monteriggioni and San Giminiano. I hardly recommend. In San Giminiano you will taste the world’s champion ice cream; Gelateria Dondoli. You won’t regret it!

Unfortunately, we stayed there only 2 nights. It was the best Tuscany experience for our family. We will come back and spend more time there in the future, for sure!

Amazing location with a beautiful view of San Gimignano. Karen and team were extremely helpful with renting bikes and arranging a cooking class with Diana. The highlight was the cooking class one afternoon/evening when Diana and her husband came and had a cooking class at our apartment. We can’t wait to return one day. Hunky recommended, especially for families ( we were there with our 10,7 and 5 year olds).

It was clean and spacious. Safe.

There was no microwave, and the oven there was very confusing and difficult to figure out. Not enough electric outlets in the kitchen. Some of the old pans should be renewed. Could use a breadboard and sharper knives. The most surprising thing was when we turned the heat up for just a little bit one night and we’re charged 30 euros. We felt that was unfair.

Lovely location. Comfy little apartment with good facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful pool and gardens. Lovely little terrace outside our apartment to eat on. We liked the cats who came to visit our terrace.

Sofabed was uncomfortable. Kitchen could do with a spatula. A shelf in the shower would be useful. Some other guests were noisy at night outside our apartment (which was near the entrance). Dogs roaming free.

The view from the location is breathtaking, with beautiful sunsets behind San Gimignano in the background. The accommodation has a nice big garden, all set in an olive orchard. You can also buy local wine and olive oil from their farm.

The kitchen was fully equipped, but lacking some of the convenient items for a short stay.

Beautiful location alone on a hill. Good size apartment with kitchen and a small “private” garden space outside the door. Big pool with great scenic views! Barbecue area with a roofed area. Sweet staff! We’ll return!

The kitchen could have been a bit better equipped (toaster, breadknife, sharp knife would have been lovely!). A bit damp indoors since the heat wasn’t turned on yet (warm days, cold nights in November). We enjoyed our stay so no big complaints :-)

Amazing property location , right in middle of wineyards and nature. Absolutely loved the apartment and other facilities e.g. swimming pool. Very clean and well managed. Will surely be back sometime during the harvesting season!!

a small welcoming kit with some kitchen essentials would have been an added bonus🙂

It is a fantastic place with stunning views. We are amazed with the service. Looking at the sunset and sunrise from the windows was a pleasure. We enjoy the pool. The place is exceptional many things to discover, and nice wineries around.

The pool area. Karen upon check in was very welcoming

Fans were not sufficient in warm month of July. I would have liked a change of linen/towels. The beds were not comfortable. The car park was limited as there seemed to be day visitors?
