About this property

"VILLA DONELLA" a corner of Tuscany history, just minutes from San Gimignano

Hi, I'm Cristina and together with my sister Claudia we would be happy to welcome you to our lovely apartment located on the outskirts of Poggibonsi in a typical rural Tuscan village, next to the provincial road that leads to: the Chianti area, the important art cities Florence , Siena, Pisa, Lucca and only 10 minutes by car from the famous city of San Gimignano, a UNESCO heritage site.

Our accommodation is ideal for 2 people and is particularly suitable for a romantic couple stay. "Villa Donella" takes its name from our mother who fell in love with this manor farm villa because it reminded her of her youth spent in the countryside. So with great passion and dedication he personally followed all the renovation of the apartment and took care of the furnishings in every little detail. We are certain that the feeling entering will be to feel at home away from home!

Located exactly in the center of Tuscany, "Villa Donella" is the perfect starting point to reach the Chianti area and the important art cities of Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca. Also you can easily reach the beaches of Cecina Mare (to the east) and the ski slopes and trails of Mount Amiata (to the south).
The apartment is developed all on the ground floor, with kitchen equipped with everything needed for cooking; romantic double bedroom with Queen Size bed, comfortable mattress and pillows; study / relaxation area with sofa and LCD TV-SAT; luxury bathroom with large walk-in shower. The Wi-Fi service is free everywhere within the property and H24.
It is surrounded by a large private garden all for the exclusive use of our guests with a delightful pergola equipped for outdoor lunches and dinners and BBQ. Every window and door window at home overlooks our private garden.

At our guests' disposal there is a carport, near the entrance of the accommodation, inside the property.

Upon your arrival, you and / or my sister will give you the keys to the house and the automatic gate, for your free access to the apartment.
You will be received directly from me and / or my sister and with great pleasure we will give you all the necessary information and suggestions, together with a map of the area, to help you spend a pleasant and enjoyable stay in Tuscany.
As a gift from Benvenuto you will be offered a bottle of typical Tuscan wine.
During your stay you can contact us for any need.

Other things to highlight
Within 150 m there are: a supermarket and a large shopping area, bars, restaurants and take-aways.
Nearby you can go hiking, trekking and mountain biking as well as balloon rides, swimming pool, tennis, golf and horse riding.

Motorradurlaub
Wir haben uns in der schönen Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch nach dem warmherzigen Empfang durch Cristina und Claudia wurde immer einmal nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist und Abhilfe geschaffen. Einfach super 👍 Die Möglichkeit der Waschmaschinennutzung war für uns sehr praktisch 🏍️😉 Wir können diese Ferienwohnung nur weiter empfehlen......

Unterkunft mit viel Herz und Liebe!
Unser Aufenthalt war einfach großartig! Sehr aufmerksame Gastgeberinnen, eine ganz liebevoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung, in der es uns an nichts gefehlt hat. Fürs Kochen ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Der Garten ist wunderschön und sehr gepflegt. Das Haus liegt unweit einer Straße, die uns von der Lautstärke aber überhaupt nicht gestört hat. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Strategisch liegt Poggibonsi perfekt, um einen breitgefächerten Eindruck der Toskana zu bekommen. Wir haben es in 10 Tagen sogar 3x bis ans Meer geschafft und haben Sightseeing mit einem Sprung ins Meer bequem verbinden können. Wir kommen definitiv wieder! Denn 10 Tage reichen nicht aus, um alles zu entdecken :) Liebe Claudia und Cristina - vielen lieben Dank, dass wir bei euch sehr erholsame Tage verbringen durften. Es war ein so schöner Urlaub! Eine Top-Unterkunft! 5 Sterne von uns. Jenny & Mirko

Toskana im Oktober- einfach wundervoll
Ein wunderschönes Objekt mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die beiden Gastgeber Schwestern sind super nett und hilfsbereit und helfen bei allem was ggf. an Fragen aufkommt. Ein Auto ist allerdings muss, da das Zentrum doch etwas weiter weg liegt und Fahrradfahen in Italien doch eher etwas für die Überlebenskünstler ist :-). Auf den Punkt: sehr zu empfehlen.

Appartement in een mooi gelegen Toscaanse villa.
Het appartement is gezellig ingericht. De gastvrouwen zorgen ervoor dat alles duidelijk is en helpen je graag. Er zijn nog meer appartementen maar daar merk je nauwelijks iets van. Vlak bij de uitvalsweg naar Gimignano, Siena en Vinci gelegen.

Ganz nett aber…
Sehr sauber, alles da was man benötigt, sehr schöner Garten, freundliche Vermieterin, überdachter und abgeschlossener Parkplatz und an die Verkehrsgeräusche der naheliegenden Straße haben wir uns tatsächlich schnell gewöhnt. Dies muss man aber wirklich berücksichtigen. Das Anwesen liegt eher in einer Industriezonen, die Innenstadt ist nicht wirklich fussläugig zu erreichen.
