I couldn't have chosen a better place to have stayed for my week in San Gimignano. I stayed in the Panorama Apartment and the views are stunning, it was comfortable and very clean. The owners were lovely and helpful. They also keep the gardens beautifully and ensure the swimming pool is sparkling. I recommend this place to anyone wishing to... More

Me and my partner lived last August a fabulous week in Podere San Luigi. It's close to San Gimignano and Certaldo, it is perfect for a relaxing holiday on the country side. We slept in "Panorama" apartment: very clean and nice, big swimming pool....and awesome view!!!! The owners are very lovely: thanks to Mario for your nice chat and thank... More

We came back to the farmhouse as we'd stayed here before in May 2008. We loved it so much then that we were determined to return but had a baby in 2009 so could not come.

Fabulous apartment, stunning countryside, Mario and Annalinda are the perfect hosts, beautiful gardens, very relaxing, excellent location to get to key points. The best holiday we've had in years but do take mosquito repellent!

The appartements are sufficiently equiped and proper. The surrounding of the house is very quite (day and night) which is very relaxing. We rent... More

My husband and I first visit Mario & Annalinda in Podere San Luigi in 2004. Since then we have returned every year, always at different times to enjoy the different seasons ... sometimes twice, and taken many friends to enjoy what really is one of the best places in the world. We once booked the whole place! The refurbished old... More

When we asked some well-travelled friends which of their many holiday villas they would return to, they unhesitatingly recommended Podere San Luigi. We took up their advice last September. How right they were. It is a delightful place to stay and an ideal base from which to explore this charming part of Tuscany. Tucked away in the countryside a few... More
