It was situated the right proximity from the town. We had no complaints. It gets ton of sun and an amazing place for relaxing in the Tuscan sun.

Villa Sarah

Overall, wonderful property. Pool was about the nicest I have seen on a private property. The entire property was set-up for maximum outdoor enjoyment. Caterina and Catherina, the host representatives could not have been more helpful in setting up car rides and tours. This property will not disappoint.

Family get together in Tuscany

Wonderful clean property and great owners who communicated often and help arrange many side trips and dinners. The villa is beautiful and the pool is stunning. The five separate bedrooms all with their own ensuite gave all of us our own space and worked well. The villa is ideal for an extended family get together. Location and views are great although we would say do not plan on walking to and from San Gimignano - it is a long, dusty and very uphill walk.

A lovely comfortable villa with exceptional out side sitting ,eating , pool area. Amazing location , near enough to walk into San Gimignano, and close to other major Tuscan towns. Managed by the very helpful Caterina, on behalf of the owners , who were available at any time if needed. Would highly recommend, and hope to return one day.

Magical Celebration at Villa Sarah

We had a magical stay at Villa Sarah. The home is beautiful and the views look like paintings. Communication could not have been easier but it’s above and beyond your typical VRBO. Their team arranged for a driver (the fabulous Sonia!), an incredible chef, and wine tours. Sonia even got my son in to see her eye doctor one afternoon. Every recommendation the owners made was spot on. I can’t wait to return!

Once in a lifetime family trip in Tuscany

Villa Sarah was the perfect accommodation for our multi-generational family trip in Tuscany. Everyone had their own space but there were also gathering spaces for family fun, including cooking classes, yoga, puzzles, cards and more. Caterina, the concierge, is very responsive and helped us with every detail, including restaurant reservations, transfers, activities, and our last minute need for a wheelchair rental and a recommendation for a nearby hotel for extra guests. We highly recommend!!!

A Slice of Heaven on Earth

From start to finish Villa Sarah was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience for our family. Planning and communicating with owner Gabriel and Miss Caterina was extremely easy and efficient, with all details coordinated to our requests. The recommended tours were spectacular to Siena, Chianti, and Florence with the ease of our personal driver, Sonia! Personal chef night at the Villa with the talented and exuberant Chef Priscilla is NOT to be missed! Villa Sarah with its surrounding grounds, landscape, and location in San Gimignano are breathtaking. Many thanks to our gracious host and family for this once in a lifetime trip !

Amazing family birthday celebration

The villa was amazing. My family of 5 celebrated my 60th birthday at the Villa Sarah. You can’t ask for more picturesque views. Hard to believe you are looking at a real landscape and not a painting of a perfect Tuscan landscape. No noisy neighbors nearby or obstructed views, just the pure magic of the San Gimignano village, vineyards and rolling hills. The Tuscan cooking class in the outdoor kitchen was a highlight. It was a hugely bonding experience for our family. Even those who don’t like to cook, loved it, and the chefs made it all so easy and fun. Gabriele and Caterina were so responsive to all our needs, making dinner reservations, wine tasting and arranging a car to take us to the Cinque Terre. Beautiful memories for all of us.

Just perfect!

We had our children and granddaughters join us for a week at Villa Sarah to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful. The villa is lovely and the view can not be beat. The pool and outdoor dining kitchen were a couple of our favorite gathering areas. They arrange to have a chef come in three nights and that was delicious and super convenient. On the nights that we did go out to dinner Caterina arranged a driver for us on those evenings. The villa was stocked with all the basics to get us started and a huge Tuscan meat and cheese platters to celebrate our arrival. It was a week that none of us will forget!

Perfect month stay with family and friends

Villa Sarah was everything we expected and more. Owners, Gabriel and Lucia, and concierge, Caterina were all very helpful and responsive prior to and during our stay. The location of Villa Sarah is just a short drive or long walk up to the village of San Gimignano. Siena, Florence, Montepulciano, Lucca, Pisa, Volterra are within an hour drive making it the perfect location for day trips. The highlights each week were our cooking classes and chef prepared meals in the wonderful outdoor kitchen area. Chefs, Sergio and Priscilla and helpers, Francesca and Senna were wonderful. Dining al fresco every evening while watching the sunset over the Tuscan countryside was priceless. We took full advantage of the beautiful pool and jacuzzi. Villa Sarah was the perfect place for us to share our love of Tuscany with family and friends. We look forward to returning.

A dream come true

Villa Sarah is one of those once in a lifetime experiences. Even after seven blissful days, we still couldn’t believe we had the privilege of staying here. The views from the house of the rolling Tuscan hills and enchanting San Gimignano in the distance is a sight we will all treasure forever. The house is so thoughtfully designed and furnished by the owner, Gabriele. You really feel at home, but with every luxury, including five whimsical bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, stunning views around every corner, outdoor showers, the most GORGEOUS outdoor kitchen and farmhouse table, ping pong, foosball, washer/dryer. We slept most nights with the window open to the fresh air and peaceful bird sounds. My only regret is not booking this place for longer than a week, but we will be back. We spent plenty of time in the comfort of this insane property, but also enjoyed day trips to Florence, Montepulciano, Pisa, and Certaldo. San Gimignano is a short car ride from the house (the ride also provides some incredible landscapes). BOOK VILLA SARAH! We are forever changed by this incredible experience!!

50th Anniversary Trip of a Lifetime

Villa Sarah was beautiful inside and out! The 5 bedrooms all had king sized very comfortable beds and private bathrooms, perfect for 5 couples traveling together. Our great experience started way in advance of our visit as Catarina helped us plan all the details of our trip from a private chef, wine tastings, area restaurants, an on-site cooking class and private transportation back to Florence. Everything happened just as planned with no issues whatsoever. As wonderful as the villa was, the grounds and views were even better. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our cooking class and, a little too cool for swimming, the pool was stunning. Even more stunning was the view of the country side and San gimignano. It was like stepping out into a fairy tale every morning. We will go back as soon as we can!
