Stayed Sep 15, 2018Just returned from a one week stay and cannot praise it enough. Frederica and her family were so friendly and could not do enough to make us feel welcome. Really enjoyed the Cooking Lesson and would recommend it for a fun and interesting break fro those superb panoramic views of the rolling countryside. We also really enjoyed our visits to the small hilltop villages that are just a short drive away from the property. We will return!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969It was lovely to sit there in the evenings drinking wine. The pool was a good size & plenty of space & sun chairs for everyone. The location is great. 20 mins to Siena & 10 mins to Colle Val Delsa. I would recommend checking out Casole D'elsa which is 10 mins by walking . Great hospitality & I hope to visit again soon.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We took our 5 year old son on his first foreign holiday and stayed for a week at Cottage Leccio. It is not luxurious, but that suited us fine as there was less to worry about in terms of letting our son explore! The cottage was fine and had most of what we needed. The pool is large and clean, but not heated. The location is great for visiting places such as Siena , Florence and San Gimignano. The village is only 1 km away. We would stay again!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Federica and her family are excellent hosts and we were bowled over by their generous hospitality! The cottage Olivo was well equipped, homely and had a lovely view. The location was perfect for exploring Tuscany; Florence, Pisa, Siena and so much!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969This was Tuscany at its best; friendly reception; most comfortable, well appointed cottage. The view is unique. Our hostess was on hand to help if needed but everything was perfect. Thank you Federica and his family for everything.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969This was our 2nd consecutive year to stay at Podere Monti (the name of this farmstead), this time for 2 weeks. The grounds around the cottage are beautiful, with a pool overlooking the gorgeous Tuscan countryside and a number of old stone buildings now mostly used as vacation rentals. The cottage itself is small, with average-quality interior and furnishings, but completely comfortable and functional. The location seemed perfect for us: 2 minutes from Casole (a beautiful medieval hilltop village much less touristed than most), 10 to 15 minutes from Menzano and Radicondili (2 other much-less-touristed and beautiful old towns), only 15 minutes from San Gimignano and 25 minutes from Siena (so you can easily time your visits to avoid the heaviest crowds if you want), maybe 30 minutes from the central Chianti villages, 45 minutes from Volterra and an hour from Firenze. The owners/managers Federica and her parents are very helpful, easy to work with, and as a bonus very charming. Federica's English is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stays there and highly recommend it. If the cottage seems to small for you, check on the other house and apartments available at the same farmstead.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Even though we only stayed for a short time, we received the most incredible hospitality ever. We absolutely loved the cottage - it was cozy, beautiful, clean and conveniently located - with nice views.But most impressive was the friendliness, willingness to help and overall hospitality of the owners.If you are looking for true Italian experience and not your standard hotel visit - please make sure to visit this wonderful place.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Excellent choice! We called to see if the cottage was available after arriving at another place we had rented that was not at all as advertised. Federica left in the middle of her dinner preparation to meet us. We were wowed when we walked in and saw an extremely clean , well laid out, and well stocked cottage. Federica gave us a tour, explained how everything worked . The unit is well decorated in a mix of contemporary and retro styles . We had a fantastic time and wished we could have spent more than 7 nights there. It was quiet at night and the bed in the master was extremely comfortable. Thank you, Federica, and thanks for mailing the postcard to 'Mom' for us. You're a great.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Podere Monti consists of three apartments in the main house and three separate villas which all share a wonderful swimming pool with a beautiful view north to San Gimignano. Our villa (Leccio) was very comfortable, clean and ideally located close to the swimming pool. The location is 900m from Casole D'Elsa, a typically beautiful and relaxed Tuscan fortified hill village with art shops, an ancient and fascinating church and a few restaurants, two of which are very good. Podere Monti is run very efficiently by the Ianniciello family. Federica is the point of contact with guests and is very helpful indeed, providing excellent information on sights to see, places to park in Florence, Sienna etc and a really useful guide to local restaurants, supermarkets etc. The family is very friendly and attentive to guests' needs without being intrusive in any way. We had a wonderful holiday and always looked forward to returning to Podere Monti to relax and unwind beside the pool. Thanks very much and see you again soon hopefully!
