What an amazing place and Patrizia and her Mum were amazing- Always there and always available to help. The dinners they cooked were so delicious and so much food.
They were always giving us treats and food!
The property location is ideal. Ten minutes from San Gimignano, with full view of the city. Views from every bedroom! Couldn't have asked for better hosts. They checked in with us every day and surprised us with baked goodies and homemade meals. You are truly staying in the Italian countryside complete with chickens and rooster. The indoor communal area is limited to kitchen, so know that you will be gathering outdoors. Be sure to book a bike tour, it was one of the highlights of our week and make reservations for wine tasting!
Our stay at Patrizia’s vacation home was amazing. We were in town for our friends’ wedding and the location was perfect. Patrizia, her son Camillo, and Nana, Maria, were outstanding hosts. We arrived to several complimentary bottles of vino from their winery as well as homemade pizza, banana bread and more. This was just the icing on the cake! The home was clean, spacious and had all the ‘extras’ that we needed for a relaxing stay (bicycles, pool, etc). The only important thing to note for anyone looking to stay here: if you don’t have a car, make sure to arrange taxis before your arrival as we spent quite a bit of time searching for drivers to pick us up and take us where we needed to go (i.e. wedding). Oh, Patrizia also offered to cook our group of 12 a meal on our last night (extra charge). If she offers, take her up on this. It was the highlight of our trip… aside from the wedding of course :).
Such a special property in a very special place. Looking out at San Gimignano and the Tuscan country side is breathtaking. Terrific accomodations central to everything. Patricia and Nonna make your stay and dinners a truly special experience. We have memories that will last our lifetime!!

Wir haben einen sehr schönen Urlaub in diesem Haus verbracht! Patrizia hat uns mit ihren Köstlichkeiten aus ihrem Garten und aus ihrer Küche verwöhnt! Auch ohne Klimaanlage hatten wir Mitte August angenehme Nächte!
Siamo un gruppo di amici, 6 coppie e Patrizia ci ha accolti come se fossimo di famiglia. È stato un piacere passare il capodanno nella sua casa. già prima di arrivare che ci siamo sentiti telefonicamente abbiamo sentito la sua gentilezza e il suo calore . La casa è enorme, le stanze molto grandi e luminose, non manca nulla. Ogni giorno ci ha fatto trovare qualche prodotto: vino olio, dolci, fantastica. Se dovessi tornare in Toscana non avrei problemi a tornare da lei. Grazie è stato un piacere per tutti noi.

We just completed an amazing Christmas vacation at Nido del Merlo! This was a truly a special vacation made even more special by our amazing host Patricio. She warmly greeted us on arrival, and really made us feel welcome and comfortable. The villa was perfectly appointed with sweets, cakes, and fruit etc which really made the perfect home for our Christmas celebration with two families. The bedrooms were roomy, and the grounds, & views from the villa were simply amazing. The location was very central to the Tuscany region, and allowed us to make many day trips throughout the region. This is a special place, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Beautiful location and great hospitality from the owners
Location is great with grapes and olive trees view as well as San Gimignano, pool was great the owners treated us very nice and gave us wine, fruited and baked goods. Gave us quick tour of their vegetable and fruit garden and we could see the chickens. Excellent for relaxation and recharging.

It may be an issue to get there via google maps, but read the suggested direction as detailed in the communication once google maps got you to the closest point. The location of the house is great, you're basically viewing this valley with grapes and olive trees and San Gimignano, which is just letting you relax. The house does not offer AC but it's possible to manage as the weather in the area should not be as hot, and there's breeze when all windows are opened. It has beautiful pool to cool in, seating areas to drink wine/coffee, the owner are very helpful and will verify every once in a while that you have all that you need. They did treat us with bottle of wine and olive oil that they produce from their own grapes and olives as well as fruits and baked goods that they baked at home. overall we felt very welcomed and relaxed. been there for 7 days, and I wish we could have stayed additional 7 days :-) highly recommended, come with English/Italian translator to use when needed as in Italy not many people speak English and with the house owners it's needed. The Food, Wine and Gellato are the best it was a treat to visit Italy.
