Thank you so much Cristina and Mario as my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to San Gimignano! We loved our stay in this garden house as not only was it the perfect location within the walls of San Gimignano but also as our home base in Tuscany(visited Volterra, Siena & Montalcino). This house had everything, off the beaten tourist path and Mr. T was fun! I hope we can return soon.

Pretty property right in the heart of San gimingiano with a charming garden. Car parking is not allowed in the centre so dropping off cases is a bit of a process but host Christina was v helpful. Checking out we decided not to bring the car in but walked to the parking provided by Mario.

Wow - you will not be disappointed.
Everything about our stay at this property was outstanding.
Cannot recommend it enough.

Everything was wonderful. From pre-trip communication with Cristina until we left gets 5 stars.
The property is within the walls of the city therefore accessing via car is not easy. Cristina met us and showed us how to drive to the property and then where we could leave our car - this is approx. 5-10 mins walk from the property.
The pictures really do not do the place justice. Yes it's rustic and quirky which makes the place unique.
Mr T, the 70 year old tortoise is a special feature and we loved seeing him each morning.
So if you want a very special place to stay within the city and easy access to Tuscany, this is the place for you.

This flat is one of the best VRBO properties we have rented. The garden is its best feature, it is huge and flowery and private - and comes complete with a resident tortoise called Mr. T! The flat itself is well equipped, comfortable and downright beautiful. the photos cannot do it justice, that's how good it is.
The only surprise was that there is no oven, so when we brought home a roast chicken from the excellent market (Thursdays in the square) we were a bit puzzled as to how to heat it up. My husband used a big frying pan - which worked a treat!
Cristina and her family are delighful, and always there to offer advice when you cannot find something.
We will be back here - again and again!

Cristina was always available and quite knowledgeable about the area. The 5 minute walk to parking was a huge plus. The yard was incredibly beautiful. I would definitely stay here again.

This apartment is located in an excellent location within the walls of San Gimignano. Easy access to everything in town. Less than a minute to the main Piazza. From the moment you are greeted by Mario and Cristina, you feel like you’re a part of their family. Warm friendly, and ready to assist in every way. Off site parking is available which is a Big plus in Italy. Cristina was so kind to meet me at this location and then drive me to the apartment. The apartment is absolutely lovely and spotless. Italian charm at its best! If you like to cook, unlike most apartments, this apartment is fully equipped and has all of the cooking utensils you need to make meals at home. The little garden is wonderful and you have it all to yourself! Great place to relax in the sun or have a glass of wine at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to experience the Italian lifestyle yet close enough to all of the action within the walls. A+

Lovely apartment with garden which is unheard of in San G. Very clean and plenty of room to spread out which was great after being in tight hotel rooms. Free parking and washing machine a bonus. Cristina was delightful, and answered all our questions.
5.0
The apartment had everything you would need or want in a one bedroom vacation spot. Honestly, the apartment was better than what the pictures presented. Air conditioner worked great, plenty of room for luggage, and very well furnished. A true classy apartment. In addition, the garden was wonderful.The only thing missing was a view of the surrounding landscape. But that was not an issue for us as you get to see that view all day while walking around the town. Would definitely stay again if I had the opportunity. Thanks again for everything!

Great place for two. Some of the space is hard to use, but the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were great for 2. The outdoor area was great; private but no view. Laundry was great to have. Proximity to everything in San Gimignano is fantastic. Host provided lots of information on the town. Restaurants were very good and the styles varied. It was a relaxing week and we did not feel the need to jump in the car to do tourist sightseeing. Plenty to do in and around town including wine tasting.

I thought the previous reviews showed this place to be great - but it was better! Mario and his daughter Cristina are lovely people and couldn't do more to welcome you and help you. Apartment is really well equipped, the garden is beautiful, and you are only a 100 metres from the main piazza
We'll be back next year.

The place is spotless and the house in perfectly situated in San Gimignano. We enjoyed the garden and we also visited Sienne and Florence, since we were central to everything. Great service from our hosts!

This is one of the most amazing apartments we've rented. Mario and Cristina provided a smooth, efficient check in. The apartment is full of historic character and very close to the historic centre of San Gimignano. It's clean, cool and has many extras provided. The garden is amazing and we loved the resident tortoise ( he loved our tomato). I can only unreservedly recommend this apartment and just hope it's available next time we visit San Gimignano. Just wish we could have stayed longer than 3 days. Thank you Mario and Cristina , we loved our stay.

From the moment we met Mario and Cristina, we knew we had made a good choice. The warmth of their welcome was much appreciated, as was the lovely bottle of local wine they left for us!The apartment in a mediaeval building, lacks for nothing in terms of present day comforts. In fact, just about everything has been thought of to help you to enjoy your stay. This property is presented with thought and care.Without doubt, the jewel in the crown here is the beautiful garden. Mario looks after it with love and it shows. We were lucky enough to have been here during warm sunny days and got to enjoy the garden fully. As with the house, every little thing has been thought of here, for your comfort and enjoyment.The location of the apartment can only be described as perfect. On a quiet and peaceful street, just a 3 minute walk from Piazza del Cisterna, which is the centre of beautiful San Gimignano, which is a great place to base yourself for a holiday. Cristina gave us many good suggestions for restaurants, places to see etc.Thank you Mario and Cristina for allowing us the opportunity to experience living in this beautiful place. Our stay was too short!!!
