Marvelous Accommodation and Host!
WoW! What a magnificent three days we spent in this beautiful apartment in centre of San Gimignano. Our host Benedetta was so wonderful. She thought of everything and made us feel very welcomed. We could not have imagined a better experience in this medieval town and breathtaking countryside in the middle of Tuscany!

Great location and extremely helpful property owner
Great property next door to the Piazza del Duomo. Many, many places to eat and shop nearby. The property owner was a lifesaver when my husband developed acute bronchitis. She helped us find a doctor and even made an appointment within a short walking distance. Thanks so much Bernadetta!

Thorough enjoyed our stay. Apartment is perfect for long weekends. We stayed four nights and were quite pleased. The location is right in the square so close to everything. The apartment is clean and nicely done. Benedetta met us on arrival and explained everything, she is one of the nicest hosts we’ve encountered. We highly recommend her apartment.

Charming!
San Gimignano is delightful and our VRBO couldn’t have been any better. Benedetta was so kind and helpful, the apartment was perfectly located and appointed. And she even helped us maneuver our car into town to unload and then provided a garage close by to store our rental car. We had everything we needed for a lovely stay and would highly recommend the apartment.

Heart of San Gimignano
This 2-bedroom apartment is right next to the church in the center of San Gimignano. I loved walking out the door and being near the shops and restaurants. The Friday morning market set up just below our windows. We found it helpful to close the windows and shutters at night to block the early morning street noise. The king-size bed was super comfortable and the rooms had plenty of storage space. Benedetta met us at the parking lot just outside the city wall and led us to our rooms. She explained how to use everything including the washer, gas cooktop, and coffee pot. She gave us suggestions for parking in Florence and mentioned favorite wines and local restaurants. My husband and I enjoyed having extra space in both a large living room and second bedroom. The only difficult part of our stay was the narrow bathroom. It was hard for two adults to be in the small space together. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful return to our first date!!
This trip to San Gimignano was a return to the location of our first date 13 years ago. The apartment was cozy and well appointed with everything you would need. The owner is very helpful and sweet: beware there are two flights of stairs up to the apartment but we needed the exercise and it is well worth the effort. Highly recommend this rental,

Beautiful balcony vista apartment in the heart of town
The property was a lovely quaint old style Italian apartment with a beautiful shared balcony view to the West. The downside was the water heater/supply, and the use of converters for every European appliance. There is really only enough instant hot water for 2 very quick showers per a 2 hour time period. The location and convenience was excellent. Benedetta speaks English excellently and is a delight.

Fabulous location and wonderful host!
We stayed for 2 weeks. The accommodations were wonderful. Beautiful views from the rear and front of apartment. The apartment is located in the center of the town. Lots of shops and wonderful restaurants. Our host was helpful with recommendations and for translating our wish for taxi's to the train station. The train is wonderful. Trips to Florence, Cinque Terre and Venice were easy. The bus is also right outside the walled city. The apartment has a washing machine which was very helpful on our long stay. I hung clothes out on the line which I hadn't done since I was a little girl helping my grandmother! The apartment also has an oven and a 4 burner cooktop if you are so inclined. Would definitely stay there again.
