Fantastic
Just 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!

A beautiful place to stay with outstanding views across the Tuscan landscape and excellent hosts
Podere 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!

Cottage with Garden, at San Gimiagno. Well designed and thoughtfully presented.
We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay,within the gentle sloping hills and valleys of S. Tuscany. Comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation, with a great 'Welcome.' This is a good area, from which to visit many historically interesting places.
We required fresh 'T' towels and these were swiftly supplied!
Enjoyed this stay here & hope to return.
Best wishes, to the Owners and Team.

Traumhafte Ferienwohnung
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und typisch toskanisch eingerichtet! Es hat an keinerlei Ausstattung gefehlt! Die gesamte Anlage mit Pool ist liebevoll gepflegt, so dass man sich einfach nur wohl fühlen kann! Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr nett und reibungslos!
Die Lage ist hervorragend um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Toskana zu erkunden.
Es ist einfach nur zu empfehlen!

Entspannte Zeit in der Toskans
Eine wunderschöne gepflegte Anlage mit einem Pool mit ausreichend Liegestühlen und Sonnenschirmen. Die Anlage liegt einen guten Kilometer vom bezaubernden Ort Casole d' elsa entfernt, ist fußläufig in ca. 20 Minuten zu erreichen, ein wirklich gutes Restaurant in gut 10 Minuten. Ein Brötchendienst gab es nicht , der nächste Bäcker ist im Ort. Es empfiehlt sich Pooltücher mitzunehmen, da nur Duschtücher gestellt wurden. Die Wohnung war gut ausgestattet, uns fehlte nur die Kaffeemaschine, es war ein Filter und eine Porzellankanne vorhanden, wir würden dann empfehlen noch eine Thermoskanne mitzunehmen, wenn man mehr ,als eine Tasse zum Frühstück trinken möchte. Eine Espressokanne gab es natürlich auch. Es empfiehlt sich auch eine Grundausstattung an Gewürzen mitzunehmen.
Wir wurden in unserer Uraubszeit von einer heftigen Mückenplage überrascht, darauf sollte man vorbereitet sein. Mit langen Klamotten abends , langen Schlafanzügen ( die Schlafzimmer hatten Gott sei Dank Klimaanlage) und Autan war es dann okay.
Wir würden jederzeit wieder im Podere Monti unseren Urlaub verbringen, wir haben uns bei Frederica und ihrer Familie sehr wohlgefühlt. Ausserdem ist die Lage hervorragend für den Besuch der Städte Highlights der Toskana.

Schöne Lage mit tollen Blick vom Pool
Sehr sauber, nette Vermieterin (Wenn man den Vater ignoriert der schon mal den Gästen aufgeregt Fehlverhalten unterstellt), Kopfkissen sind Säcke womit man jemanden erschlagen kann, Betten etwas durchgelegen, Wegbeschreibung wie bis 1880 es üblich war, gut ausgestattete Küche gepflegte Anlage

Mooi vakantieverblijf
Heel goeie locatie die perfect gelegen is om Toscane te ontdekken. Huisje was perfect in orde. Het zwembad mag wel een opsmukbeurt krijgen. Zéér vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars.
