About this property
Beautiful apartment in San Gimignano - RoccaiaCasa'70
Our apartment is the perfect place to spend your holiday relaxing or doing sports, surrounded by the fantastic landscapes of the Tuscan hills. It has a wonderful infinity pool and a private garden. Ideal for families with children. Small domestic friends are welcome. The apartment has a vintage style inspired by the 70s, where original furniture has been recovered with the intent of preserving and reusing existing resources. Our philosophy of attention to human relationships, the environment, history, tradition, and good food is a common thread in the management of the apartment. The apartment is on the ground floor in 95 square meters with views of private green annexes (a terrace, a back room, and a historic pergola) that make outdoor life during the warm months usable and pleasant. The terrace with umbrella is perfect for breakfast and dinner and allows you to enjoy the view of the rose garden, the village, and the surrounding vineyards. In the area facing north, you can enjoy an outdoor lunch and barbecue even in the warm months. The area is surrounded by scented essences of jasmine that blooms in July and others, such as the strawberry tree and the viburnum, that make the stay and the view at the outdoor table pleasant. The pergola overlooking the master bedroom is made with historic vines selected by me and my husband during studies conducted in the urban areas of the nearby medieval city of Siena. Inside the apartment there is access to a spacious living area with a kitchen equipped with a large central island, dining table, television, bookcase, fireplace, and double sofa bed. The kitchen is equipped with every comfort and accessory for those who love to cook during their stay, experimenting with Tuscan delights, and is characterized by high-quality finishes, including the famous Venetian graniglia in the worktops. From the living area, you enter the sleeping area through a corridor where there are two bedrooms: one double and one with two single beds. The bathroom with shower, located at the end of the corridor, has a small window overlooking the back garden and is characterized by handcrafted finishes in the polychrome mosaics, in the light travertine, and in the small terracotta mirror. The apartment is quiet, and the ancient walls ensure the maintenance of an ideal temperature both in summer and winter, even in the absence of air conditioning. From June to September, it offers the use of a large swimming pool overlooking San Gimignano, in which guests are provided with a place with an umbrella and two sun loungers for sunbathing and relaxing immersed in the Tuscan nature. The apartment also offers some free services, including sheets, towels, parking, and wi-fi throughout the property, heating. For stays longer than 14 nights, an apartment cleaning is included, with optional linen change.

Rita is a wonderful host. She met us at a nearby location and drove us to the apartment. She showed us all the amenities, which are excellent. The place is really a separate house surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The view from the front deck is lovely and it location very serene. We loved the place.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was in a very quiet, out of the way picturesque place. Our host was great - had everything we needed and very helpful and great communication. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
The host was great! She welcomed us with wine and pastries and even drove us to the grocery store. The house was roomy and had a beautiful vista to enjoy. It is extremely remote so you need to plan ahead for meals.

Dear Kenny, Thank you for sharing your experience. it was nice meeting you as well. We tend recommending our guests having a car at dispose to be able to move freely from the apartment. In this case, it's just 10 minutes distance from the main food stores downtown 🙂
This place is a treasure! Beautiful views and a lovely clean home with everything we needed. The pool was immaculate and the backyard was the perfect shady spot to relax. Homemade bread, a bottle of vino, and chocolate! Rita made our stay perfetto!!!

Spacious house for a family of four with great facilities.
A car and it is right in the beautiful Tuscan country side, a short drive from San Gimignano.
Rita is a great host and we would love to visit again
We enjoyed a truly wonderful holiday. The place is amazing. The house, the surroundings, the pool. Superb!
The location is perfect to visit Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Volterra, Siena and offcourse San Gimignano.
Rita is an exceptional caring host who wants the best for her guests! Thank you Rita! We loved to stay at your house!

Dear Bjorn,
I am very happy that you enjoyed your vacation. It was my pleasure to meet you and your family! Warm regards, Rita
We really enjoyed our stay at this 2-bedroom spot in a vineyard near San Gimignano. Our host, Rita, was lovely and accommodating. She met us to drive to the property, had flowers, a bottle of wine and freshly baked bread for us. The view from the outdoor terrace over the vineyard was lovely, and the hedges and plantings made it very private. A great spot for day trips in the country side!
The owner is great and so helpful through our staying. The house is beautiful. The view of the Tuscan fields is so relaxing. The location is great too… 10 minutes from San Gimignano, minutes away also from the best wineries in the world, 40 minutes away from Volterra and Siena. Just everything is amazing. Thanks again for everything,
Stefano and family

Grazie Stefano per aver condiviso la tua opinione!
The property is absolutely stunning. Beautiful views of the vineyards and farmhouse like stone buildings. It’s a great location between Florence and Sienna and 10 minutes to San Gimignano. The pool is beautiful and much needed after a day of sightseeing in the Italian sun. The place is well equipped with everything you need and very clean. There were quite a few mosquitos so pack some repellant. A great stay and definitely recommend booking!

Rita was extremely accommodating and communicative was never a problem. Rita went out of her way to be helpful and so informative of the area .. we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend and classifcation we love Under the Tuscan Sun .. thank you Rita
We were very pleased with this property. It worked perfectly for our week exploring the local area and coming back to the swimming pool was always welcome. The apartment is well designed with a nice finish, particularly in the open plan living room/kitchen. Rita was an excellent host who was clearly invested in ensuring her guests were ok. A couple of areas we thought might be improved: a wardrobe or some sort of storage instead of a desk in the twin bedroom. The shower is on the small side and the shower curtain can be a challenge to keep in the shower tray. The driveway was also a challenge! However, overall we really liked the property and would return.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We will certainly take note of your suggestions. Thank you!
Everything you need for a quiet, comfortable, scenic stay in the Tuscan countryside. Nestled among grape vines and olive trees, Rita's home is the perfect place from which to launch day trips to San Gimignano, Siena and Florence, or just for relaxing. Comfortable beds, nice patio and porch with a great view of San Gimingano on a hill to the west. She has a well-equipped kitchen and if you need a supermarket, it is only 10 minutes down the road in Poggibonsi. We also enjoyed a hands-on cooking class by Bina, a Cesarine in nearby Gambassi Terme, another charming Tuscan village with very little crowd pressure. Thanks, Rita, for a wonderful stay.
This property is more special than the description. Rita is an amazing host. She met us at a local grocery store and we followed her to the property. She gave us a thorough overview of the home, wineries, restaurants, & hilltop towns. And even left us a delicious loaf of homemade bread.
The property itself has a warm welcoming feel with beautiful garden areas to relax in the front overlooking vineyards or the back for a more secluded feel.
We loved our time there so much that we decided to spend a whole day lounging at the beautiful pool. It was perfection!
We had a great time at La Roccaia.
Upon arrival Rita welcomed us with a lovely home made bread and tasteful biological red wine together with a list of suggestions and tips on where to go both to visit and of course EAT!
The complex has an amazing swimming pool for the days you feel lazy and would like to just relax under the sun in the middle of the Tuscany hills. We took a lot advantage of that and had as well a very relaxing day.
Overall we had an amazing time and honest to say that at the end of our staying we wished to have book for longer ahah. Rita has been a great host and the apartment was beautiful offering everything we needed... From utilities us to a strategic location to go around and get groceries
Highly suggested!!!!

Thanks Benedetta! I am glad you enjoyed your stay!! Hope you may come back sometime soon:-)
This place is great. The views and the grounds are to die for. Rita is amazing. She was very responsive to our messages and very helpful! She has everything, in her place, you need. She had a bunch of things for the kids to do too. The second bedroom was great for our 2 girls and our son loved sleeping on the pull out sofa in the living room.
I didn’t realize there was no air conditioning and Rita got us more fans for the bedrooms.
The mosquitos were very bad though. We couldn’t keep the main doors open because there aren’t any nets on those. There are nets on the bedroom doors. We tried burning the mosquito repellent too.
We loved having the washing machine and the pool! The dryer didn’t work and the clothes ended up smelling like smoke from the mosquito repellent.
I completely recommend staying here.

Dear Jennifer,
Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks for your comments that certainly are precious to us for improving our service.
I am sorry you had troubles with mosquitos that are sometimes worse due to the extreme climate conditions that unfortunately, you had the chance to meet.
We are also sorry about the absence of the clothes dryer (we do have a washing machine, but not a dryer..it wasn't broken) that we do not use due to the hot Mediterranean weather during Summer time.
Hope to have you and your beautiful family in a different climatic condition next time!
Best Regards
Rita
Die Ferienwohnung liegt traumhaft in der Toskana. Eine tolle Ferienwohnung mit großer Küche. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Rita empfangen und sehr netter Austausch check/ in check/ aus. Unsere Kinder haben den Pool genossen, welcher echt groß war. Es sind Liegen da, wo man entspannen kann. Und Rita hatte Schwimmringe für die Kids. Sehr Kinderfreundlich. Danke für die schöne zeit!
Sensationelle Wohnung mitten in den Weinbergen. Wunderschöne Terrasse und toller Pool. Die Gastgeberin Rita hat sich klasse um uns gekümmert und uns viele nützliche Tips gegeben. Wir kommen supergerne wieder.Markus & Viola
Prachtige beneden appartement bij een kleinschalige recidentie. Rita heeft alles goed voor ons verzorgd en reageerde uitstekend en snel op berichtjes van onze kant! Het huis is heerlijk ruim, voorzien van een fijne keuken waar alles (scherpe messen, Moka, goede pannen etc.) te vinden was. Zwembad heerlijk en prachtig gelegen. Enige puntje voor ons is dat het zo stil was bij het zwembad dat we onze kinderen wel echt heel rustig moesten laten zijn bij het zwembad, omdat we anders scheve blikken kregen van andere bezoekers. De locatie ligt ook in het prachtige groen rondom San Gigminano. Voor iedereen een aanrader, wij komen zeker terug. Groeten fam van den Berg
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine de vacances à Poggibonsi. La situation géographique était parfaite pour découvrir la Toscane. La maison de vacances avec piscine était parfaite,toute équipée avec lave-vaisselle, lave-linge...Rita était très gentille et aux petits soins pour nous recevoir. Je recommande

Thanks Roselyne for sharing your experience. So glad you enjoyed your stay!
PS. Our apartment is close to Poggibonsi, but it is in the comune of San Gimignano 😊
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. L'appartement est bien équipé. Il fait parti d'une copropriété avance plusieurs maisons ou appartements. La piscine est très agréable. Les courses se font facilement et l'emplacement tres pratique pour visiter la région.Le chemin d'accès n'est pas goudronné et il faut mieux avoir une voiture un peu haute.
