About this property

The ' Borgo'- off the old Roman ' Via Volterrana 'has been rebuilt from ruins. Italian heritage laws are very strict and the whole village has been reconstructed on the same footprint as the original. Now we have a wonderful place for visitors to come and enjoy the Tuscan countryside within easy reach of all that Tuscany has to share with the world. 'Casa Bartoli' is part of what was a large farm building and is now a modern spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. The bathrooms are beautifully tiled in travertine marble.Terracotta tiled floors and ceilings with huge wooden beams supporting the roof are typical of the area. The main bedroom has a double bed and the second -which is a larger room-has two single beds which can be used as a double bed...both bathrooms have no baths-but showers are excellent with plenty of hot water supplied from the solar( supplemented by gas) system. All kitchen utensils and appliances are new- dishwasher,2 small fridges (one with freezer), gas stove and oven.A small fully automatic washing machine is also provided.The dining area inside seats 6 people comfortably-or dine outside at the 'al fresco' table under the trees... The swimming pool and spa are just wonderful for a dip after a hot days touring. Here you are central to all that Tuscany has to offer.There are many good restaurants nearby- just up the road- the nearest is"' Osteria Il Castagno" a nice little restaurant about a 5 minute drive away. For grocery shopping if you prefer to dine under the trees at home- there is the big PAM supermarket in Poggibonsi, the COOPs in San Gimignano, Montaione and Certaldo or the smaller minimarket in Gambassi Terme. A day trip to Florence ( or Siena )is easy by train from the station in Certaldo,avoiding the driving and parking problems associated with each city. The Chianti Classico wine region can be reached within an hours drive. The ' Borgo ', down a quiet road in the countryside between San Gimignano,Gambassi Terme and Volterra provides "away from it all" tranquility. Please come and enjoy the wonders of the Tuscan countryside from a very central location...

Einmalige Idylle

Die Wohnung war wie beschrieben mit allen ausgestattet, sauber und geschmackvoll ausgestattet. Die nette Wohnungsübergabe mit Fabio hat uns sehr gut gefallen und uns willkommen geheißen. Klimatisierung und das jederzeit verfügbare Heißasser waren sehr angenehm. Das ehemalige Dörfchen Mommiliana ist liebevoll rekonstruiert worden und liegt in einer schönen Lage absolut ruhig. Das Highlight war für uns der einmalige Infinitypool mit Aussicht auf Voltera. Die Idee, die PKW etwas außerhalb abzustellen ist sehr gut, aber leider haben sich einige Gäste nicht daran gehalten. Sehr Schade und für uns beim beladen unseres Reisegepäcks mühsam. Einziges Ärgernis , dass verfügbare WLAN hat die 14 Tage für Ärger gesorgt, da man sich täglich mehrmals immer wieder aufs Neue anmelden musste. Wir können unseren Gastgeber Gordon und diesen idyllischen Ort für alle empfehlen, die das besondere lieben und schätzen, auch wenn die Zufahrt über eine ca. 2 km lange Schotterstraße führt ;-) Unsere Restaurants, die für unser leibliches Wohl gesorgt haben und absolut empfehlenswert sind. Toskanische Küche: Ristorante BOSCOTONDO und die Osteria LA MONTAGNOLA. Wir kommen sicherlich wieder.

Traumhafter Sommerurlaub Toskana 2023

Wir ( Familie mit 3 Kindern ) haben einen traumhaften Urlaub im Borgo Mommialla in der Toskana verbracht. Lieber Gordon, wir haben uns in Deiner Unterkunft sehr (!) wohl gefühlt. Sehr schönes und sehr sauberes großes Appartment ( auch für 5 Personen ). Dank Mückennetzen und Klimaanlage auch im Hochsommer im Juli jederzeit ein Wohlfühlort. Die gesamte Anlage inkl. großem (!) Pool war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Viele tolle kurze Ausflüge möglich ( San Gimingano oder Volterra ) oder auch Ausflüge in die Umgebung möglich ( Sienna, Pisa, Lucca, Florenz … ). Danke an Dich Gordon, für Deine schnellen Antworten auf unsere Fragen vor Reiseantritt und Deine Informationen. Danke auch an Marco als Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder in die Toskana und ins Borgo Mommialla. Gerrit, Jenny und Kinder

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Bartley

I am an Australian, my wife is Japanese and we live in Sydney.Both of us have been very interested in travel from an early age, having met in the late 1960's working for a well known Australian airline. We have traveled to many parts of the world-but Florence and Tuscany have become our favourite holiday destinations. We are now retired, still enjoy travel and catering for guests in our Tuscan home.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I first visited Florence and San Gimignano in 1995.We then came back numerous times as we loved this part of Tuscany. We made friends with the owners of the Agriturismo we always stayed near San Gimignano and they introduced us to this development at 'Borgo Mummialla' where they and some dedicated local people were going to rebuild the 'Borgo' from total ruins. The village was abandoned many years ago and all the buildings had to be rebuilt from the ground up.Strict heritage laws ensured the reconstruction retained as much of the stone and terracotta etc from the original buildings as possible. Having had dreams of owning a house in Tuscany and knowing the people involved reassured us that this was a top quality development and we took the plunge....in the deep end...we now hope we can share this unique development with other visitors to our house....

What makes this property unique

The original farmhouse buildings have been reconstructed from the ground up using a lot of the old materials,but everything inside is new including a washing machine,beds and all the kitchen appliances and equipment.Hotwater is supplied by a solar system ( with gas heater backup) as much thought went into enviromental best practice. The two bathrooms are beautifully tiled in travertine marble and the plumbing is all new...There are about 6-8 steps up from ground level to the front door-but once inside the apartment all is on one level. Several of the other apartments at 'Borgo Mummialla' are 2 storey,the swimming pool with spa is wonderful and great to come home to after a hot days touring as is the outdoor 'al fresco' dining area under the trees.The outdoor area is for use of 'Casa Bartoli' guests only-unless you invite the neighbours over of course. There is a great view across the valley,with Volterra on the horizon from the kitchen and also the main bedroom..This is our 'dream come true' home in the heart of Tuscany... .
