We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with magnificent views over the valley and San Gimignano. it is located a couple of kilometres outside of San Gimignano among many farms, so it is really peaceful. Fabio gave use advise about the area and where to find what.

AMAZING VIEWS of Toscany, San Gimignano, Certaldo and more, just breathtaking. Great pool area, and all is very private and secluded. Just our style. The rooms are big and spacious. We had 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, a very spacious apartment in all, huge kitchen/diner that was very well equipped. Many spaces outside to enjoy, very local restaurants just around the corner.

The sun beds could be better, and there could be for all also.

An idyllic location with a magnificent view of San Gimignano over a stunning Tuscan panorama. Florence and Sienna are within easy reach. The property has been lovingly and sympathetically restored and is comfortable and spacious even with our group of 5 adults. Fabio is a charming, welcoming but discreet host.

There is nothing not to like.

The location is amazing, the accommodation was lovely and Fabio was extremely helpful, giving us useful information on the local facilities.

Our stay was outside the dates in which air conditioning was available despite it being very nearly 30° each day, we could have done with a fan as this would have stopped the bugs coming in during the evening.

Super place, nice building. If you miss any drinks( water, beer, wine, limonade) you can buy them in the accommodation.

There are mosquitoes - the nets in the windows would be fine.

Fabio is a very friendly host (happiest when riding his scooter, I think). The apartment was spacious and very attractive and comfortable. Amazing view.

The smell of Devil's Valley takes some getting used to. Guests in apartment above were noisy and their movements echoed a bit through the floor/ceiling.

We weren't really sure what to expect but Podere Le Grotte exceeded our expectations handily. Lots of space for our family of four, very comfortable and the location and views couldn't be beat. The pool was nice after hot Tuscan days. And the air-conditioning--on from 6 pm to 8 am--was very effective.

Only (minor) complaints: the wifi was very slow; and the kitchen could have been a bit better stocked with essentials for cooking. We ate lunches out and dinners in every day and there were barely any kitchen cooking staples included as there are at most rentals of this kind.

We had the loveliest stay at Podere le Grotte! Everything was perfection, and it was like being in the most beautiful painting. My kids loved the pool, and we loved the stunning scenery, the comfortable apartment, and gorgeous patio. We had everything we needed, and felt so comfortable and taken care of. We would happily return!

The only thing I can think of is that the bugs were quite bad while we were there, but that's not Podere le Grotte's fault! Some citronella candles for the patio might have been a nice touch, but probably not necessary for most travellers.
