Lovely, peaceful remote setting in Tuscany, handy to most hilltop villages
Driving into Gambassi Terme is a little more complex that usual because it is in a truly rural setting, almost at the end of a gravel road; and the restored village has narrow streets without the Terrace being sign-posted. I would recommend waiting inside the entrance gates to meet Roberto and/ or his Daughter to guide you to the apartment. The apartment is fully screened and has air-conditioning that was under repair during our visit. Fans available on request to Roberto. Otherwise, clean and comfortable with great wifi and views to San Gimignano from the terrace. This is lovely in the early mornings and evenings. Close to the major Tuscan hilltop towns and very peaceful in the pool after a long day of sightseeing. A thoroughly lovely retreat in the hills!

Wunderschöner Ausblick
Zwei Wochen haben wir in dieser sehr gut ausgestatteten Ferienwohnung verbracht. Der Blick von der Terrasse und vom Pool auf die tolle Landschaft und Volterra am Horizont war grandios. Prima Ansprechpartner vor Ort - jederzeit erreichbar und außerordentlich hilfsbereit.

Kleinod in der Toskana
Ein schöner und ruhiger Ort, um die Toskana zu erleben. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es hat uns nichts gefehlt. Toll, dass es an allen Fenstern Mückengitter und Rollis gibt. Der Pool ist wunderschön, und es ist gut, dass es einen Extra-Parkplatz außerhalb der Häuser gibt. Für ältere Menschen mit Einschränkugen könnte das allerdings ein Thema sein. Man kann von La Mommialla aus viel unternehmen, es liegt nahe bei Volterra und San Gimignano, man kann toll wandern und Wein probieren. Wir fanden es wunderbar und erholsam.

About the host

Hosted by Colm Begley

Host profile image
We are an Irish couple and love all things Italian!

Why they chose this property

In 2006 I heard that a group of local people planned to restore a tiny ancient ruined village. I went to visit the village and was immediately enchanted by its tranquillity and stunning views.

We took a leap of faith and purchased a heap of stones and broken timbers at the end of the village.

Now seven years later the village has been restored to its former beauty.

What makes this property unique

The reconstruction of the village was subject to strict Italian heritage laws. All original materials were re-used and other materials were salvaged from local ruins. The building work had to be carried out using traditional building methods.

The 'apartment' is actually a small house at the quietest end of the village, with its own roof and with windows on three sides!

The best feature is a large private terrace with stunning views across the valley to the ancient hilltop town of Volterra, with its many towers.
