Guest Reviews
- Ivana (6/5): -
- Kristina (10/5): -
- Ewen (10/5): Vue magnifique, calme, grand espace et tout le nécessaire - On a voyagé avec un bébé. Il y avait tous les accessoires nécessaires.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la vue sur San Gimignano et les oliviers et vignes, la piscine, la gentillesse des hôtes, le calme, le grand espace et la balade à côté.
Le logement est très typique et très beau. Rien,
la route d’accès est assez accidenté comme la plupart des autres agroturismo que nous avons pu visiter et pratiquer.
- Holger (6/5): Toskanaaufenthalt mit viel Schatten - Die Außenanlagen und der Pool waren schön und gepflegt. Das Vermieterpaar war freundlich. Leider war die Unterkunft kritikwürdig bei der Sauberkeit. Unter rustikal verstehen wir nicht abgewohntes Inventar. Das Bad war sehr abgenutzt und es gab keine Ablagemöglichkeiten. Trotz Nachttemperaturen von unter 10 Grad war die Heizung abgestellt und die alternative Klimaanlage funktionierte nur temporär zum heizen. Unser Appartement verfügte über kein Fenster, so dass ausschließlich nur über die Glastür Licht in den Raum gelangte.
- Phillips (9/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): Mauro and Donatella are wonderful hosts. The farmhouse and grounds are so well maintained and beautiful. We didn’t want - We loved everything about Il Coltro. Such a peaceful haven in the heart of Tuscany.
- Werner (9/5): - Lage, Pool und die Gastgeber.
- Tony (9/5): Ideale bestemming om veel van Toscane te bekijken, wij hebben echt genoten, enige nadeel is dat je voor uiteten te gaan - Locatie fantastisch, prachtig gelegen villa met mooi zwembad.
- Sarah (9/5): Tranquil and relaxing in every way. - Stunning, picturesque property in a beautiful setting. The pool was perfect with great views. Nothing
- Miriam (10/5): Ein traumhafter Urlaub in einer wundervollen Unterkunft und herzlichen Gastgebern ❤️ - Il Coltro ist wunderschön..für uns ein toskanischer Traum.Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und auch das Appartement ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet.Man hat einen tollen Blick auf San Gimignano ist umgegeben von Wein- und Olivenhainen und absoluter Ruhe.Die Gastgeber Mauro und Donatella sind wundervolle hilfsbereite Menschen die immer sofort zur Stelle sind.Man fühlt sich wie zu Hause.Der Hund Nina ist ebenfalls immer da und ihn werden wir sehr vermissen.Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
- Joshua (10/5): GEWELDIG - Super lieve hosts, geweldig verblijf. Echt een aanrader zeker als je met (jonge) kinderen bent.
- SteRoZero (10/5): Ein toller Urlaub, bei dem man sich ständig zwischen Erkunden und Entspannen entscheiden musste. - Schöne und gepflegte kleine Anlage mit tollem Pool und Ausblick in die umgebende Landschaft mit Olivenhainen und Weinhängen sowie auf die Türme von San Gimignano. Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter, die immer vor Ort sind. Die Wohnung (Studio) war hübsch und gemütlich. Die Lage ist prima: 15 Autominuten nach San Gimignano, 30 nach Siena und 50 nach Florenz. - Die ca. 1 Km lange Zufahrt ist schotterig und zum Ende ziemlich steil und daher etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig.
- Für eine Ferienwohnung nicht gerade preiswert.
- Maria (10/5): - Ήταν όλα υπέροχα. Ηρεμια και φύση γύρω σου. Απέραντο πράσινο. Ο κύριος Μάουρο πολύ εξυπηρετικός και η γυναίκα του, αλλά αυτή που μας έκλεψε την καρδιά ήταν η Νίνα (ο σκύλος του καταλύματος). Κάθε πρωί πίναμε καφέ και πρωινό έξω από το δωμάτιο μας, μας έκανε παρέα και η Νίνα, χαζεύοντας την θέα και την ομορφιά της Τοσκάνης. Σίγουρα θα επιστρέψουμε κάποια στιγμή. Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ για όλα είστε υπέροχοι άνθρωποι και έχετε κάνει πολύ όμορφη δουλειά.
- Sarah (8/5): Very good -
- Simone (8/5): We had an amazing time and Mauro and Donna were exceptional hosts with plenty of fantastic tips for nearby restaurants a - The property was beautiful - meticulously maintained, and the pool was a real treat in the warm weather
- Mattinson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julian (10/5): Exceptional - You have to go there. An unbelievable outlook, so peaceful, the owners are wonderful. You won't regret it. The winery Torciano at the end of the road is disappointing but there are dozens more!
- Diaconescu (10/5): Highly recommend Il Coltro, everything was perfect, like a small piece of heaven. -
- Alanna (8/5): Incredible views, good sized apartments. - Incredible views. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed. The rooms were a little dated but charming. Glad we had our own car to get around.
- Wilson (9/5): Superb -
- Hamami (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -

- John (9/5): Beautiful Tuscany farm environment. Friendly hosts and a lovely pool. We also enjoyed the pets. - We loved the farm environment and surrounding scenery. There was a lovely pool, which was welcome on hot days. Everything worked for us, and we enjoyed a relaxing time. Nothing. It was a lovely place to stay. About 12kms from San Gimignano, but this did not worry us.
- Jane (9/5): Superb -
- Gurdeep (10/5): Exceptional -
- Monica (10/5): The million dollar views! - The 1st floor 2 room apartment was very spacious and homey. It was great to have 2 bathrooms and the bedrooms on opposite sides of the living room. Very private and clean and very safe. The owners were so kind and welcoming. Treated us like family! Many good suggestions of places to eat and things to see. Their dog Nina was so behaved and loving and it was great having her on the property to greet you when you returned daily from your outings. We appreciated the welcome bottle of wine. The views were magnificent and made more special by the view of San Gimignano in the near distant hill. About 15 min drive from the Villa. Great location to sightsee the Tuscan hill side towns as well at Chianti. Their was a COOP FI market within 10/15 min drive of the villa where we stocked up on groceries. Nice to have a dedicated outdoor table and umbrella which we took advantage of for dinner and lunch. The pool was a nice addition on the hot summer days for a cool dip. It's not heated so it was refreshing. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would love to go back again. You definitely need a car to get to the location and to see the surrounding countryside. The owners were the kindest and very helpful couple and altho it may have been a little hard to communicate as we don't speak Italian they made a huge effort and we appreciated it. If we needed anything they responded immediately. Can't wait to go back! So peaceful and stunning! Lush and green! Everything was wonderful but if i had to add something....maybe it would have been nice to have at least some bottles of water, coffee/tea and other basic food supplies. We did have sugar, olive oil, balsamic, salt/ pepper. plus a few pods for a coffee machine. They also did provide filters for an American style coffee maker but we had to buy our own coffee. Also maybe a little update on the pots and pans.
- Dan (9/5): Il Coltro equals Il Contentment - Serene feel. Lovely countryside. Beautiful views. Rustic charm. Welcoming hosts. Sizable apartment. Knock-out swimming pool. Second bedroom not quite up to scratch. Needs more light and ventilation.
- Lonny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Miki (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kathleen (10/5): 4 days in paradise enjoying the views from the pool and getting around from a easy central home base. - Exactly as pictured, it was absolute paradise. The owners are nice, always working but not intrusive at all. The views are unbeatable. We had everything in the kitchen to prep breakfast. Beds where comfortable and good shower pressure. Easy to drive too from Florence.
We would book here again in a heart beat! The road going up the house is narrow and bumpy but not a deal breaker at all!
- Kate (10/5): Perfect little Tuscan oasis! - Il Coltro was a beautiful villa with the most picturesque views. The owners were so incredibly helpful, particularly when we had car trouble. The family dog Nina, just made the stay even more homely! Such a relaxing and wonderful stay! There is nothing to dislike about this property. Driving around the area can be challenging (particularly when wet) and you definitely need a car. Make sure you stick to the main road in and don’t always follow google maps!
- Laure (9/5): Superb -
- Sasa (3/5): Poor -
- Mihaela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Louise (10/5): Exceptional - What an incredible place, we loved watching the sunset with a glass of wine from the property. Mauro and his wife were perfect hosts, even helping us out with car troubles. Great base while you explore Toscana.
- Natalia (10/5): Fantastic place, great location and incredible hosts. This is our third visit to Tuscany and this one was the best af al - Everything
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dustin (9/5): Superb - The location was amazing with great views. Hosts were welcoming and kind throughout our stay. Although we knew going in it was difficult as a family with two young kids to access restaurants during our stay. We would have loved to have the opportunity to enjoy Italian food. Instead we had to make multiple trips to a local supermarket to buy small snacks for food during our stay. If you don't have anything restricting you from driving to restaurants when they are open then this is a great place.
- Kimberley (10/5): Absolutely amazing - Everything! The property is beautiful, the gardens and pool are immaculate. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment with terrace to the front and side, the views were spectacular. The apartment has everything you need to enjoy staying at home for lunches or dinners, which we did a few times as we were traveling with our 4 months old baby. Mauro and Donatella were lovely and very helpful. Great restaurant recommendations and they were kind enough to make reservations for us when we asked.
If you want to explore you need a car, but I'd happily have stayed and enjoyed the peacefulness that Il Coltro offers. There is nothing not to like!
- Westreng (9/5): Superb - Very nice place. Great location, view and very good apartment with everything you need. Pool vith view over San Gimignano always wonderful. We will go back for sure All was good
- Anonymous (10/5): Absolute perfection, home away from home. - The homestead and owners were just amazing - from the moment we arrived it felt like home. Perfect location and the homestead and gardens are immaculate. Love everything about it.
- Lucy (10/5): Fabulous holiday in a beautiful country setting with excellent hosts! - Beautiful quiet location in the Tuscany countryside. Fabulous view across to San Gimigano. You very much feel like you are staying in somebody’s home. The apartment was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. The pool was lovely. We fell in love with Nina and Pongo! Mauro and Donnatella were fabulous hosts! So welcoming and helpful! I don’t think there was anything really negative. For couples booking I would be mindful that this is a family accommodation, there are families with young children.
You must have a car to stay at this property.
- Archie (8/5): Very good -
- Philipp (10/5): Exceptional - We had an amazing stay at Il Coltro. We loved, the view, the apartment overall, the pool. Donatella and Mauro are very caring owners and very kind hosts. The kids loved the two dogs. Eccellente!
- Joshua (9/5): Relaxing and enjoyable - Prefect position close to some beautiful towns. Pool was amazing Some basics to be stocked in kitchen would make the stay that little bit better like oil, herbs, basic things
- Tanja (10/5): A great place to relax and enjoy - What a delight was to stay at this gorgeous place! Our studio apartment was so spacious, clean and comfortable. The surrounding is just breathtaking and quiet, and swimming pool was spotlessly clean! Mauro and Donatella are wonderful hosts, very kind and warm people. We enjoyed the presence of their dogs, Pongo and Nina, so much. Also, the location of the property is perfect for exploring Tuscany without long drives. We will be definitely coming back many times! :)
- Adele (9/5): Our stay at Il Coltro in Tuscany was truly unforgettable. Tuscany itself is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, and st - Absolutely beautiful, we stayed in a two bed apartment which was spacious and perfect our boys, age 5. Everything provided inside the apartment was well maintained. The surroundings are extremely well taken care of too. Views of San Gimignano from our first floor was stunning. The owners were so helpful. I already miss the lady! It will be great when you sit outside to see the view of San Gimignano, from the pool you can see it but not from the area in front of the house where tables and chairs are. I understand why though. Also if you have small kids like us make sure to maintain the noise levels as it is a peaceful and quiet environment, which was hard at times.
- Fiona (10/5): Stunning sunsets over a true Tuscan villa - excellent self contained traditional Tuscan villa accommodation. Good central base for daily excursions. Had the extra little things like olive oil, spices, washing up items that you didn’t have to go and buy. It’s about 15mins drive from San Gimiagano. The owners are really lovely and Nina there dog is super friendly and greets you at the gate. Hot water was good, ceiling fan. Has air con but didn’t use it. Washing machine with detergent was handy. Super quiet location. nothing
- Matan (9/5): Beautiful views, wonderful atmosphere - We spent 6 nights in the GLI ARCHI apartment, a family of 5. The apartment is very spacious, the rooms are very large and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need.
The view of San Gimignano towers from the apartment is amazing.
The area is surrounded by vineyards and is very quiet and peaceful.
The place is close to the siena-firenze freeway and there are stores and supermarkets near by
- Robert (10/5): Il Colten is a hidden gem - Beautiful grounds and view, spacious accommodations, wonderful hosts full of recommendations, centrally located and very fairly priced. Nothing.
- Juraj (9/5): Superb -
- Niv (10/5): An ideal place in the heart of Tuscany. - This is a real gem in the heart of Tuscany. Very cute rooms and even cuter owners who go a great deal to help you in your stay. The apartment was very welcoming and had all we needed. The great lawn and the nice pool, situated in a very Tuscan scenario, make this place a perfect place for relaxation. The road to the property includes a dirt road part that may get muddy and tricky to pass. It's a 20 minutes drive to San Gimignano, and more to other Tuscan spots, so be mindful of that.
- Rose (9/5): Superb - Solid, homely appartment which felt very relaxing. Great pool.
- Olga (9/5): Superb -
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful setting and apartments. Hosts were thorough and welcoming - we had a lovely stay.
- Louise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Clémence (7/5): lovely place - grounds and pool are beautiful . good location. bed was confortable the rooms on the ground floor are much better and have outside space , which unfortunately were not available as we booked last minute. The second room is a mezzanine meaning you can hear every noise from the main bedroom.
- Amy (10/5): Scenic location, welcoming hosts, friendly guests, and comfortable rooms - the perfect place to stay - Really beautiful location, out in the countryside but only a few minutes drive from the towns of Ulignano, San Gimignano, and Poggibonsi. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating, and the presence of other guests there created a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The dogs there were also really sweet and nice to have around. While the location was beautiful, the drive up was on a narrow dirt road that could be a little stressful to navigate, especially at night or with a big car. That was really the only thing though; everything else was great.
