Recommendation is paramount when booking accommodation in a place you have never been before. It was quite a responsibility to choose a holiday let for ourselves and four friends from the U.S. So, with such good feedback from previous guests at Podere San Lorenzo, I felt confident that we would be totally happy and comfortable there. NOT THE CASE!! We... More

This is the fifth visit in three years for our tour company and we are never disappointed by the fabulous welcome and smiling faces of Ruth and Salavatore. This visit was for 11 nights and we all stayed in Casa Anna We did not bother hiring a car from Pisa airport this time instead Ruth organised a local taxi to... More

We would agree with most of what is said within the Summer 2012 reviews and were very impressed with the facilities, food (although there is room for improvement with breakfast)location and customer service provided by Rachel and family. However if you are offered Casa Padronale be aware that although spacious this has a shared entrance into the lounge which we... More

We stayed as a family with three children at the end of August / beginning of September. I was initially a bit apprehensive about taking the children out of their comfort zone (they are used to package holidays with entertainment etc.) but could not have been more wrong. I felt that they really appreciated the simplicity of the farm -... More

We spent a wonderful week (8-15 Sep) at San Lorenzo, with our daughter (18 months) and parents. We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone seeking a true Tuscan experience. San Lorenzo is an idyllic rural retreat, well situated for exploring the beautiful and historic offerings of Tuscany. The Estate itself rises to a stunning hillltop setting, surrounded by vineyards, olive... More

Ruth and her family make you feel totally at home as soon as you drive through the gates! Nothing is too much trouble and the food is fantastic. We stayed for a week and wish we had stayed for two. We met some really lovely people and the children made loads of friends. The overwhelming feeling is one of trust... More

We stayed at San Lorenzo in August 2012 for two weeks as a family of three, our daughter is (was) nine. We thoroughly enjoyed it despite the record temperatures of over 40C almost every day! The heart and soul of this "resort" is the family managing it - Ruth (front of house), Salvatore (back of house & head chef) and... More

We stayed for two weeks in one of the villas near the tennis court. We are a family of 4, a teenager and a young girl, so it is hard to find holidays which suit everyone's interests. But this was fantastic. Tennis for the lad, plus lounging around the pool, and swimming for the girl. We also traveled around a... More

We recently stayed with the very welcoming Ruth and Salvatore. We took a big apartment that was clean and spacious. Ruth and son Thomas were very accomodating and Salvatore' food was great. It is a working farm but surprsingly it is very difficult to go on a decent walk due to fences and boundays. The farm has a nice pool... More
