Holiday houses in Le Maschere

Alessio and Beatrice were perfect hosts. The place couldn’t be in a better location, right on the north end of the Main road through San Gimignano. Having the top floor really made it peaceful despite the sometimes bustle of the town. The apartment was beautiful and comfortable; a great base for exploring San Gimignano and the surrounding Tuscan countryside!

It is hard to find the superlatives to describe this absolutely wonderful villa. We spent 3 nights there with a group of 8 friends and really did not want to leave. The setting of the property is even more amazing than on the pictures: a shady terrace overlooking a beautiful garden with a pool in the middle, surrounded by lush hillsides and sweeping views of the valley beneath - all of this in complete calm, peace and quiet. Really, like in a dream. Moreover, the place is extremely well-equipped, with a separate BBQ room, pizza oven, changing rooms/towels/sunbeds for the pool area, extra-large fridge and full kitchen with all the modern amenities. Everything was spotless clean. You can also feel the attention to little details in all aspects of the villa. The location is quite remote, so better to come by car. Virginia and Daniela were super kind and delightful, + very easy to communicate with (they live in an attached house). They even offer dinner from locally grown food. Great stay!

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is beautiful and had everything we needed. Chiara has put a lot of effort into providing information on anything one needs to know about the surrounding neighborhood. Food, transportation, emergency needs and entertainment that made us feel comfortable in our new surroundings right away. There were several great places to eat just a few steps away. Loved getting cappuccinos & pastries every morning at Cosi on the corner. Not open on Mondays but just a few blocks another bar is. Also wonderful. Bus stop is also very close and easy. Loved the convenience. We were able to get everywhere and back very quickly by bus. Upon checking out our taxi didn’t come. Traffic in Florence is busy. Another reason the bus is the best option. Within 25 minutes Chiara son & neighbor picked us up and got us to the train station. We felt lucky to have found such a beautiful apartment, neighborhood and great host for our stay. Impossible not love. The best❤

A corner of paradise surrounded by nature and peace For those who love nature, silence, and a slower pace of life, Podere di Tullio is simply the perfect place. It’s even more beautiful than in the photos — the moment we arrived and saw the cottage, we instantly said: “We’ll definitely come back here.” We spent an unforgettable week, completely immersed in greenery and tranquility. Everything is thoughtfully cared for down to the smallest detail: the house is welcoming, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and offers all the comforts one might need. The large, well-maintained garden was a true paradise for our 21-month-old, who could run freely and enjoy nature in complete safety. We recommend renting a car to get around easily — the nearest grocery store is less than 10 minutes away, along with other nearby attractions. A special thank you to Paolo and Barbara, wonderful hosts who were always kind, helpful, and flexible. They made us feel at home from the very first moment.

The country cottage is beautiful and well maintained. Easy to reach by car and located in a very quiet area. Tommaso was very kind, the house was clean and tidy and there was everything you needed. Recommended!

We absolutely loved it! The views from the apartment are amazing - the terrace might be the most beautiful place to have dinner. The town is very cute and idyllic as well.

Beautiful farmhouse in the countryside, which is about 40 minutes away from Florence. The inside and outside look just like the photos but this unit is accessible via a flight of stairs and there is no elevator. The breakfast was terrific. The kitchenware could use some refreshing but overall our stay was peaceful and great !

This was the best place we stayed on our Italy trip! The region is so unique, with winding mountainous roads, lush forest, and ancient buildings. The property was very clean, with all the amenities you need to have a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable, the bathroom was renovated and spacious, and the view was magnificent! Lindie was a fantastic host, very responsive and gave us very useful recommendations for the local restaurant and hiking trails nearby. Highly recommend staying here if you want a unique experience in the mountains!!
