Avis MONTEGONFOLI 2, Apartment in San Gimignano, in countryside with amazing views

1 semaine en Toscane, entre visite, degustation et farniente

Un lieu magnifique,tres bien tenu et idealement situe pour decouvrir la toscane.

We’ve had a really great holiday! The agri is at an amazing location with beautiful view on the Tuscany landscape and San Gimignano. And our host Bruno was really nice, helpful and involved! Thanks Bruno!

Wir waren mit unserem Urlaub zufrieden. Allerdings waren so zwei, drei Sachen die man besser machen könnte. Die "Mikrowelle" ist ein Ofen der nicht geht. Es gibt keinen Backofen. Mein Fön hat nicht in die Steckdose gepasst, da empfiehlt sich ein Adapter mitzubringen.Eisfach war für richtiges Eis leider auch unbrauchbar. Und der Pool ist abends bis 19.30 Uhr geöffnet, kein Springen, kein Spielzeug erlaubt. Und es ist wirklich sehr, sehr weit ab vom Schuss. Sollte man vorher beachten. Bruno war nett, da gibt es nicht gegen zu sagen.

Great property in great location. Clean and reasonably appointed. Great staff. Great views across valley including San Gimignano.

We were from 11.8.-23.08.2019 on this wonderful estate. Bruno, who looked after the property with great care, welcomed us warmly and showed us our apartment. The apartment was comfortably furnished. If we wanted or had questions, we could always contact Bruno. The pool was cleaned every day and the beach chairs around the pool prepared for the guests. We really enjoyed our holiday. We will definitely come back.

Great location , but not again Maybe we caught them on a bad week ?It felt very owner dominated? The manager was nice , but at times felt like acting on owners pedantic and overburdening rulesArrival was easy and welcoming... a bottle of wine was given ... a nice touch.It feels very much like a place that wants to make money from tourists but does not want them there?I am all for rules.... it’s my job but they need to be enforced in a reasonable and balanced way !The first was a passive/aggressive approach to diving ... I get it ... no diving sensible. But the 4 children are all competent swimmers ... and because occasionally just dive in ... it was always deep end (approx 2 metres) ...,They were chastised over this ... maybe would have been best to monitor this instead of clamping down immediately! Next one ... my eldest stepson has ADHD and autism ... so we are fully aware of monitoring his behaviour ... Day 1 we gently told the kids to keep a check on their noise ... although they were not noisier than any other 4 children. Day 2 the owner was in the block near the pool in reception... after about 30 minutes the owner came out gesticulating in Italian ... the pool is for everyone ... stop the noise ... the noise level was 4 kids in a pool ... yes noise but not excessive!On Day 1 the eldest son had difficulty getting WiFi in apartment so took a dining chair onto step ..... he was told off for this ... even though the chair was probably £40 max .... The pool also had rules .... opening 9:00. - 130 —- 3-7:30 ... just weird and very inconvenient. What do you actually do with 4 wet children for 90 minutes???It became apparent that the owners wanted this protected time for them ... I get it but don’t run a tourist business ..To add annoyance the female owner came into pool during tourist time ... no issue but rules should be consistent!I also observed a tiny German boy being told off for spinning a shade on the sunbed ... really no issue ! I am not sure if the rules were consistently enforced ... one time a German father and son were throwing an inflatable ball to each counting ... quite loudly ... ein ... zwei ... drei.. . Maybe they were told in a passive:aggressive way stop counting loudly ? Oh and inflatables are banned ... I am guessing they were as as they spent little time around the pool ... like us . We had three unexpected trips to Florence , Siena & San Gimignano... all wonderful but cost an extra to £500 to budget . Nice .. but not kids

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in der Toskana. Die Lage des Weingutes war ideal mit einem tollen Blick auf San Giminiano. Um Besichtigungen zu machen eigentlich zu heiß (um 40 °C) jedoch der Pool war fantastisch. Sowohl das Apartment als auch der Pool waren sehr sauber. Der liebevoll umgebaute Bauernhof war sehr gepflegt. Bruno, der Verwalter, war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Lage in der Toskana ist ideal, da man von dort aus schnell in Florenz, Siena, Volterra, Pisa und natürlich San Giminiano ist. Einzig die Ausstattung der Küche war etwas Spartanisch.

We enjoyed staying here. The property and place was very clean . It’s an older place and and a little remote. Our host was nice and booked a wine tour for us. Host checked on us as well. It was quiet. Hair blow dryer available on request . No air conditioner (not needed). Heater is extra charge (not needed). I would recommend staying here if you are ok with driving to see anything. It was a restful 5 days ! Thanks !

Friendly people great place would stay there again
