Tenuta la Cipresseta

We loved the location, beautiful view of the cypress trees behind the house. The apartment itself was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for a week. Poggibonsi is 10mins away by car and has all the major supermarkets and facilities. All the popular villages are 20-40mins away by car - Siena, San Gimingnano, Monteriggioni, Grieve in Chianti, Panzano etc. The beds are comfortable. Extensive portfolio of local information included for all your sightseeing and gastronomic needs.

We would have loved insect screens on the windows but know that this is not a thing in Europe. Bring good quality insect repellent if you are delicious to mosquitoes.

Everything at Tenuta la Cipresseta was even better than expected! There have been lots of updates since the photos here on booking.com and they have made a huge difference! It is absolutely beautiful! Everything was super clean and the pool area was a dream!

everything was perfect!

The views and location are wonderful, vineyards as far as the eye can see. A beautiful, calm and relaxing pool area, great bbq facilities and perfectly equipped for groups. The attention to detail and care taken for the grounds, flowers, etc is unbelievable, bravo to the gardener! And Rosita was lovely and very accommodating for the two babies in our group, providing cots and high chairs free of charge.

The WiFi was a bit patchy on the days we were working from there. Recommendation: don't work remotely and enjoy the surroundings ;)

The location was perfect - beautiful surroundings and well-positioned for day trips to Siena, San Gimignano, Castellina in Chianti etc. The apartment was very comfortable and well-equipped. Rosita and Chris were extremely accommodating of our two small children - providing two travel cots and two high chairs. We loved the swimming pool which was incredibly well maintained. It is a short walk from the apartment, but this was great for us as we didn’t have to constantly worry about pool safety with the children. We had a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tenuta la Cipresseta to others. I hope we’ll be back!

Nothing

The location is really great for a relaxed vacation. It has nice views and peaceful nature around, you can go for walks to a village close by, where there were two playgrounds for the kids. The views should be extremely pretty in summer as all the vineyards start to get green. The location is also great in terms of being 1 hour drive from Florence, 1.5 h from Piza and 30 min from San Gimignano. So it's possible to see quite a lot while staying there. And in summer with the swimming pool open, it should be even more relaxing. The hosts are helpful :).

Before reading this part, you should take into account that we were out of the season (end of March - beginning of April) and it was quite cold weather. So the review in most parts is probably more relevant for the ones traveling off-season. So I have to say that the place did not really meet our expectations. We were mostly staying there as I was working remotely and we only travel on a weekend. We wanted a quiet place but the first two days when it was still warm outside and it was possible to stay on the patio, the owners were making some construction works in another apartment so it was not that peaceful. Then it got too cold to be outside anyway. The apartment was not warm and it was difficult to make it pleasantly warmer. There are gaps at the outside door which just lets the heat go and the wind blows through. The floor was cold as well. We were told that we will have to pay for the gas we use for heating but we still put the temperature to 22 degrees, but it was not pleasant to stay in, we had to have many layers on. In the end, we paid 75 euros for heating for 1 week stay. When it rained, the water go into the apartment through the door and our shoes got wet. So be careful not to keep valuable things close to the door. There were ants that were going into the apartment as well but that might be normal in many places like this that are located in a forest almost. And we also got beaten by some insects while staying inside the apartment (maybe the same ants). It would have been convenient to have more cutlery as we ate most of our meals there. Also, the wifi connection was not that great outside on a patio or even in another room, just in a room where the router was. This was our experience, however, I believe that in summer it can be very different when the apartment being cold is actually helpful and when you spend most time outside anyway. And I believe they will not do any constructions in high season so we were unlucky about that.

location, garden, very comfortable bed, well equipped

Wi-Fi connection was rather tedious

Centrally located, beautifully decorated and landscapers, incredibly peaceful and had everything we wanted.
