Villa holiday rentals in San Gimignano

Wonderful stay at the Villa among the vineyards in Panzano. Vicky, the host, is the owner of Le Fonti winery with the villa surrounded by their vineyards and olive groves. The view from the villa is absolutely stunning. The town of Panzano is very cute. We bought groceries at the Coop and made breakfast each morning, gathering in the cozy well equipped kitchen. There is a courtyard immediately outside the doors of the villa with a large table, and again amazing views. Our time in the villa was so relaxing! Though we went to several wineries, a highlight was a very personal tour of the winery, wine making process and wines by Vicky at Le Fonti. She spent time discussing/pouring the different wines, even bringing over the same wine from different years to show us the difference the weather/grape stress influences the final taste. Overall exactly what we wanted from a Tuscan experience and really enriched by an extremely friendly and knowledgeable host.

My family and I -- six adults and a 9 month old -- spent two delightful weeks at Il Granaio. Before our arrival, Greg (the host) put me in touch with Ally, the property manager, who provided much useful information in advance and ensured we could find our way to the hidden gem that is Il Granaio. Once we arrived, Ally was available as needed, responsive to my queries as we settled in. We enjoyed the Villa and property immensely, using it as a base camp as we did day trips all around Tuscany and a longer visit to the Ligurian coast. The house was comfortable, attractive, and well-outfitted, with fantastic views from the second floor; the surrounding countryside was peaceful and beautiful; the pool was a perfect place to cool off and relax after being out and about; and the billiard table provided enjoyment for all! And having our own washer and dryer was incredibly convenient, especially when traveling with a baby. Wonderful memories were made for our family at Il Granaio!

The villa is beautiful and the host Cesare is incredible. And I mean incredible. We have had excellent hosts before but he is beyond belief. He even helped us when there was a train strike by picking us up in Florence. He is warm, responsive, friendly, funny. He answered every text in a minute. Family with kids went and the place is beautiful, spacious and the pool is large and fabulous. It was the best week of our vacation. We also had a wonderful cooking class at the villa that Cesare recommended. Gabriella was so much fun. Florence is 30 minute car or a train ride but we always took train. We hope we can return.

A beautiful home to base ourselves in while exploring Tuscany. Lovely country surrounds. House has everything you need, spacious. Gorgeous terraces and pool. Enjoyed Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena but always great to come back to our Tuscan home! Silvia gave fantastic recommendations - pasta making at Ristorante de Beppino and in house chef Beppe highlights. Also loved Monterosola winery tasting. Very highly recommend. One of the best!

Barbara’s place was above and beyond our expectations in every way! If you are looking for a place to stay in this general area, don’t hesitate! Barbara was a wonderful host and all the instructions were very clear. The kitchen is very well stocked and we cooked all of our dinners there as we were traveling with a baby. We spent a lot of time hanging out as a family and there was more than enough room for us and both sets of grandparents. The home is very well situated and we loved exploring. There are so many great restaurants in the area. I can’t over state the beauty of the area and the house itself…my family is already dreaming about coming back!

Incredible Tuscan villa with the best owners and rental group. We had a family of 9 including a baby and the house was exactly what we needed - very spacious, accommodating owners, beautiful views, and a perfect location for visits to wineries and other tourist attraction cities. Irida was very responsive if we had any issues, and Francesca catered to our every need throughout our week stay. Upon arrival, Irida was there to give us a tour of the house and get us all set up with everything we would need for the baby etc. It was a level of service we hadn’t ever experienced with Airbnb! The house itself is beautiful as well, we loved sitting on the patio and greatly enjoyed the pool. Best of Mas set up many experiences for our group - welcome dinner & cooking class, private tours & transfers, wine tastings, lunch/dinner reservations, you name it they took care of it. Our group had the vacation of a lifetime thanks to Best of Mas with this rental property and the experiences they provided

An enchanting place. The villa is steeped in history and the gardens with a small amphitheater and a distant view of Siena are spectacular. Great location from which to explore the rest of Tuscany. My family and I have enjoyed our stay.

We had a fabulous stay at the Villa. Laura was so responsive and handled all our needs. She pre booked all our events and was there to greet us when we arrived. We loved the views and kids enjoyed the pool. The wine tasting on property is a must and we thoroughly enjoyed the dinner they prepared for us at the villa. I highly recommend this beautiful spot. Sitting in the patio overlooking the Tuscan countryside was one of the highlights of our vacation. Thanks to Alessandro and his team. We hope to visit again someday!

We just checked out of this wonderful villa today, and it has truly been one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed. We arrived with my husband’s parents, my husband, and our toddler, and from the moment we got there, everything exceeded our expectations. Alex greeted us warmly, gave us a tour of the villa and the property, and provided detailed printed information about nearby restaurants, supermarkets, cafés, bakeries, and wine tours. The property also produces its own wine, which was available for purchase and could be conveniently delivered to our villa during our stay. Alex shared his contact number and made himself available in case we needed anything—which we really appreciated. One of the highlights of the property was the stunning infinity pool overlooking the vineyard and offering breathtaking views. It was the perfect setting to disconnect and truly live in the moment. The air conditioning and hot water worked perfectly. Thank you Alex!

We are a family of 5 who had a fantastic stay. The house is huge and very nice and the view is not better. All stress leaves the body when you are there. Everywhere you looked, there were exceptionally beautiful views. In addition, Lucia and Frederico were so warm people and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back!

The views from Janine’s villa are breathtaking and pictures don’t do it justice. It was so quiet and peaceful, a little slice of heaven. We visited with our two boys (5 and 10) who loved the pool and the spaciousness of the home and the grounds. Being so close to Panzano was the best perk because we were within a 7 minute drive to town for great restaurants, simple groceries, and pastries (as opposed to other villas that require a longer drive to get anywhere to eat/visit). A great base for exploring the surrounding area as well, and an easy day trip to Florence. There are excellent wineries within a 3 minute drive! Janine was a lovely, kind, and helpful host and gave us tips for local restaurants as well as places for our trip to Florence. It was very hot during our stay but the fans were enough to keep cool at night and we didn’t turn on the A/C. We stumbled across this little gem and if you’re lucky enough to do so as well, you will be swept up by the magic of the views and villa.

Great place to stay. Excellent communication, went above and being to ensure our stay was exceptional. Deborah even bought a pasta machine for us to use for our evening meal - which was really appreciated. It was a great week.

We had an unforgettable stay at this villa for our bachelorette getaway! The host was incredibly responsive and made everything smooth from start to finish. The views were absolutely breathtaking — even better than in the pictures! The villa had everything we needed to set the perfect atmosphere: fully stocked kitchen with plates and glasses, plenty of towels, and thoughtful details throughout. We loved picking fresh lemons from the garden and finding peaceful spots around the property to read and relax. It’s incredibly private and serene — the perfect escape. While the drive-up can be a bit tricky at first, it quickly becomes second nature and is well worth it.This place exceeded all of our expectations. Highly, highly recommend — we'd come back in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house – everything was very clean, lovingly furnished and well equipped. We also felt completely comfortable with our dog, it was absolutely dog-friendly! The hosts were incredibly warm and helpful – they immediately felt welcome. A special highlight was the pizza evening offered - it was not only super cozy, but also a real culinary experience. Honestly, one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten! We would love to come back – absolute recommendation! 🌟

This was true Tuscany! We enjoyed the quaintness of the village with amazing restaurants and views! Tony transported us to and from the villa! Seamless planning. Deborah arranged transportation for us to visit other villages where we enjoyed the day, people and food! Wished we had more time!!

Wow! Christina’s property is beautiful! The surrounding Tuscan hills make for a breathtaking setting, with wonderful views to the east and west for sunrise and sunset. We enjoyed drinking in the views from the terraces and while cooling off in the pool, which was a great size and bigger than we had imagined from the pictures. Watching the local swallows, who would soar overhead and drink from the pool, was a real treat. The villa itself was spacious, clean and thoughtfully decorated. Christina was a wonderful host, ready to greet us on arrival and to help us check-out, and responsive to all our messages. She even bought us a lilo for the pool when I asked if there was one! Christina had lots of suggestions of local things to do, from the best artisanal butcher from whom to purchase bistecca alla fiorentina, to where to buy the finest locally produced olive oil and Chianti. We hope to return, a real treat! Grazie mille, Christina!

Thankyou Brian (and family) for what was an unforgettable magical experience. The villa far surpassed all our expectations. The villa is beyond beautiful and oozes rustic charm, perfect for a large group. Rooms were clean and with beautiful views (on the top floor) to wake up to, so much so that it felt like a dream. Bathrooms were lovely and higher spec than expected for such an old building. swimming pool serves it's purpose, but it's in a gorgeous garden amongst olive groves....stunning. Brian and family were the perfect balance of keeping in touch and ensuring we had everything we needed whilst ensuring that we felt we had the place to ourselves, a perfectly ran operation. We arranged a dinner one evening in the house cooked by Brian's mother which was an amazing experience to enjoy such a wonderful setting with friends. thank you Brian! we already hope to return in future.

Thank you Tommaso, a fantastic view and pool, a wonderful villa and you’re proactive assistance at every turn, highly recommended. The drive down the track is worthwhile for the tranquility it affords. Can’t recommend Tommy & the villa enough & as for Tuscany, it’s incredible!

The villa was simply stunning and we had a wonderful time. The indoor and outside spaces were very spacious and looked exactly as described, if not better! The villa was very clean and Giulia organised everything for us, including pool towels and towel sets. She welcomed us and gave us a tour of the villa when we arrived. I highly recommend Villa Francigena if you want to spend time immersed in the Tuscan beautiful landscape and in a peaceful and spacious typical villa, not far from wine tasting spots and the beautiful town of San Gimignano! Thank you Giulia for a wonderful stay from all of us.

We were very satisfied with our vacation home from Stefania. Great, spacious, secluded garden with many olive trees. Pergola with seating area invites you to linger. The cleanliness of the place was also extremely good. The beds or mattresses were very comfortable and the bedrooms nicely furnished. Stefania provided us with many tips and recommendations. She also booked a table for us twice at the nearby Osteria di Valgiano. Great food at a reasonable price with a great view of Lucca. Stefania responded quickly and kindly to questions. We would have liked to stay longer and will definitely come back!

We had an amazing stay at the villa. A modern house in a quiet environment with beautiful views. Brigitta was very helpful and responded quickly to our inquiries both before and during the stay.

absolutely amazing!! Francesca made us feel right at home. the place was amazing and we definitely want to come back. the property is beautiful and great if you want to play tennis , ping pong, or swim… super fun. Francesca was so sweet, gave us great recommendations, and helped us with all our questions. She even graciously helped our grandma get a doctor to see her when she sick. 10/10 amazing !

Curio greeted us very warmly and gave us a tour of the house. He was always available for questions. The place was great, very nice location. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with toilet and shower. The view from the terrace is fantastic. The large pool is for your exclusive use and can be separated by a gate. The property is bordered on both sides by hedges, so you have a lot of privacy. My personal highlight was the fireflies that we could watch there in the evening.

This place is fabulous. Margherita was responsive so quickly. We had a 11 people six adults and five kids. Loved the pool and hot tub. Margherita made reservations for us and suggested day trips. She even got a wheelchair for me for the Hill towns. Take advantage of their cooking. they did meals for us, which were fantastic. And even organized a birthday dinner for the three young girls. They did the birthday cake and even gave them a gift. It was fabulous. Don’t hesitate to book. We did day trips to Sienna, pisa,Luca, panzano, pienza and multipulciano. And two trips to the luxury mall.!Her parents are so helpful too. Olive oil and their wine is fantastic. The only regret I have is that we didn’t have extra days and spend the time right around villa. I think we would have really enjoyed the wine tasting and olive tastings. I would’ve stayed easily another week. Do take advantage of her massages too. My kids thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It exceeded my expectations!!!!! Ten stars!!!!!!
