Beautiful Villa With Panoramic Views near San Gimignano

Located in the 'Parco Benestare', an area of outstanding natural beauty in the communes of Gambassi Terme and Montaione, Podere Collinella is ideally situated in a beautiful rural location with fabulous panoramic 360 degree views. The villa is a renovated 16th century converted farmhouse with a light & open feel. It has all 21st century amenities with well equipped bathrooms & kitchen and bespoke locally made furniture. The large shared pool (open 1 June-30 Sept) is a 50 metres walk away and boasts stunning views over classic Tuscan landscape. The property is attached to another but has an independent pathway, gardens and entrances. The west facing sun terrace is completely away from the adjoining property, the east facing patio has a dividing 2 metre high bamboo cane screen separating it from the adjoining property. Both patios are covered and having dining tables and chairs. The medieval hill towns of Volterra & San Gimignano are both 20 minutes by car and are perfect for sight seeing, shopping or dining out. The nearest village Il Castagno is only a 5 minute drive away and provides a local restaurant. Siena, Pisa, Florence or sandy Mediterranean beaches are all just 1 hour away by car (Florence is also accessible by train from nearby Castelfiorentino). The farmhouse is surrounded by olive groves & woodland and accessed along its own private gravel road. Please note that due to its rural location car hire is essential.

At home away from home in the Tuscan hills

Our group of four seniors thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We stayed for five nights and managed to have lunch and dinner at a different spot every night within a reasonable driving distance. The property has stunning views and we spent a lot of time sitting outside with a glass of wine, just soaking it all in. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed as a family of five and really enjoyed it. The farm house is lovely and well equipped, the location is great in the middle of the countryside. The separation of the kids (upstairs) and parents is a clear plus as is the air conditioning during hot Italian summer. The pool is close by and large enough to actually swim (or play). You can almost always a bit of shade on one of the two patios. All the attractions of Tuscany are within easy car reach.

excellent location in the middle of Tuscany

Really nice property in the middle of Tuscany between amazing landscape. Therefore, however, not easy to reach with every car because of a long and gravel path. The manager is friendly and always available in case of questions.

Thoroughly enjoyed this gem!

The property exceeded our expectations. The villa was clean, well prepped and we did not encounter issues. The scenery was better than in the photos and the guides given to us by the host led us to some delicious meals. We spent a great deal of time sitting outside. The amenities in the house made everything easy. Beds were clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay in Tuscany

The villa is in a lovely location with stunning views across Tuscan countryside and mountains. Some great sunsets while barbecuing in the evening. It was very comfortable and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was great and essential during a very hot August. It was smaller than we expected, fine for the two of us but would have been quite crowded with 4 or 6. The swimming pool was lovely but was shared with more villas than we had expected, not a problem in the morning or late evening but could be quite crowded in the afternoon. Steve was a terrific host, always responding quickly before and during our stay and offering good advice on restaurants and other issues. Overall a great spot for a relaxing week or two.

First Time In Tuscany

This was our first trip to Italy. This property is centrally located so made it super nice to have one location to tour from without having to move our luggage all around. Our flight was late getting in so it was after 10 pm when we arrived on the property and it was a bit intimidating arriving in the dark and not knowing exactly where we were going. The villa was very comfortable and the views were amazing. The Property Manager was quick to respond to any of my questions prior to our arrival and during our stay. I can’t imagine a better property or location for the money. We would definitely consider staying again.

Great comfort and beautiful views

We spent a wonderful week at Collinella. The house was comfortable and well equipped and we enjoyed the two lovely terraces. The small resort is very well maintained and the pool is nice and of a good size. Steve was extremely helpful and responded quickly to all requests. Like other guests, we were a little surprised by the very long dirt road from the main road to Collinella, but that was the price for the unbeatable views on all sides of the resort. Note: We visited during a heat wave and unfortunately only two out of three bedrooms had air conditioning. But all in all: Collinella is a wonderful experience and we are happy to recommend the place when you have to choose a beautiful setting for a wonderful holiday in Tuscany.

An unbelievable location for an awesome stay!

We loved everything about the villa and all it has to offer. Steve (property manager) was really helpful all through the booking process and during our stay. The surroundings, the views, the quietness, the beautiful towns to visit in an hour radius from the villa cannot be matched. We highly recommend the villa!

I Read comment on the Path to get there and I tought that was the price to pay for calm and Serenity. NO it is a 10 -15 min drive on a winding roller coaster path. As far as calm is concern, wrong again when a family come next door with there 2 kids and grand parent. I forgot to mention about one of the bathroom that we could not use because of its unbearable odor. Answer from the owner…. Just close the door

Not as expected

Overall the villa was ok kitchen cleanliness was poor. It was stated access road was rough just not how rough, be prepared and take your fly spray and go food shopping before arrival as nearest shop is about 8km and not brilliant, so all in all we would not book this villa again. There is no mention of the large plastic that covers the arch door so this cannot be used. We will be sending a full review to Steve Pitts the Property manager with further photo's.

This property is worth the drive. A little out of the way but so worth it. Old country farm feel. Small but cozy with outdoor areas that define country. Beautiful, period. Short drive to the beautiful Volterra and San Gimignano. Do it you will not regret it

Exceptional Home

This villa was perfect for our holiday in Toscana. Although we encounter bees swarming at the entry Steve had a beekeeper on site before we returned from the grocery. The Villa was a perfect location for our day trips to various Tuscan cities. The views were stunning from all sides. Steve was a perfect host, giving us information on some of the lesser known towns, he also hooked us up with an incredible chef to cook a special birthday dinner in our kitchen. We HIGHLY recommend.

Idyllic

If you want a peaceful holiday, this will suit you fine. You are half a mile from the nearest road, and all you can hear all day are the sound of the birds and the distant clanking of cow bells. You can see the towers of Volterra on the distant horizon, and apart from that, all you can see are lovely rolling hills. Volterra and San Gimignano are close enough for excellent restaurants, and there are a few places even nearer. The only caveats I would make are (a) the kitchen / living room was rather small for five of us; and (b) the track from the road was becoming rutted and rocky (but it was October and I believe it will be repaired for the new season). Nearly five stars, even allowing for the caveats.

Tuscany Adventures

Lovely property and pool which was wonderful given the high temperatures. The air con upstairs was really impressive. The lack in the down stairs bedroom was a challenge. The road to the property is mentioned in the particulars and is not a problem if you have a car that has height off the ground. The location is wonderful , amazing views and close to some well recognised sites also less known ones. The later provided a different insight into typical medevial life. There were a few minor issues that occured whilst were there which were picked up on quickly and commication with the local person Steve was great. Definate go to place in slightly cooler temperatures if you need the 3 bedrooms and are not used to the heat

Tuscan Villa

Beautiful setting in the country. Not exactly easy to get to since the access road is filled with pot holes, cows and very bumpy. A solid 10 minute drive off main paved road to get to Villa. Host was accomadating but a lot went wrong. It wasn’t occupied for over a month and we were greeted with water on floor in kitchen unknowing of source. Water heater never worked so we had cold showers throughout week. And then our neighbors(cows) came through property overnight and made quite a mess. Apparently this is unusual but may want to disclose so guests know. Steve our host was great but someone else opened property and heat wasn’t on even though they knew are arrival time. Having a little one it would have been nice to have the house already at a reasonable temp before overnight temps made for a rough start. Would recommend but hopeful this feedback Benefits others. Suggest leaving directions for hot water and dishwasher in other languages.
