Villa vacation rentals in San Miniato

Our stay at Mariella's beautiful home was a highlight of our five week trip throughout Italy. Peacefully situated between Florence and Siena, this villa offers a welcoming respite from the hustle and bustle of the cities. It was also super convenient to the vineyards throughout Chianti. Waking up every morning to the sunrise views over the valley and enjoying a glass of wine in the evening were the perfect beginning and ending to each day. The pool was even larger than we imagined and provided days of entertainment sprinkled in during a week of sightseeing and wine tasting. I cannot recommend this home, location, or host enough. You will NOT be disappointed!

Wonderful stay at the Villa among the vineyards in Panzano. Vicky, the host, is the owner of Le Fonti winery with the villa surrounded by their vineyards and olive groves. The view from the villa is absolutely stunning. The town of Panzano is very cute. We bought groceries at the Coop and made breakfast each morning, gathering in the cozy well equipped kitchen. There is a courtyard immediately outside the doors of the villa with a large table, and again amazing views. Our time in the villa was so relaxing! Though we went to several wineries, a highlight was a very personal tour of the winery, wine making process and wines by Vicky at Le Fonti. She spent time discussing/pouring the different wines, even bringing over the same wine from different years to show us the difference the weather/grape stress influences the final taste. Overall exactly what we wanted from a Tuscan experience and really enriched by an extremely friendly and knowledgeable host.

Tolle Unterkunft, wunderschöne, friedliche Umgebung und sehr herzliche Gastgeber! Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Wir waren mit 7 Personen für unser Trainingscamp hier und hatten eine traumhafte Zeit in der Villa. Es ist wirklich noch schöner, als wir es aufgrund der Bilder erwartet hätten. Umgeben von Olivenbäumen und nur einer Hand voll anderer Häuser kann man perfekt abschalten - ob am Pool, im Garten oder in Haus selbst. Zara und Mark sind sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Auf jede Frage bekamen wir sofort eine Antwort und außerdem jede Menge hilfreiche Tipps, um unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Zara hat uns bei einer kleinen morgendlichen Wanderung die Umgebung gezeigt. Diese Plätze hätten wir ohne sie niemals gefunden. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen.

My family and I -- six adults and a 9 month old -- spent two delightful weeks at Il Granaio. Before our arrival, Greg (the host) put me in touch with Ally, the property manager, who provided much useful information in advance and ensured we could find our way to the hidden gem that is Il Granaio. Once we arrived, Ally was available as needed, responsive to my queries as we settled in. We enjoyed the Villa and property immensely, using it as a base camp as we did day trips all around Tuscany and a longer visit to the Ligurian coast. The house was comfortable, attractive, and well-outfitted, with fantastic views from the second floor; the surrounding countryside was peaceful and beautiful; the pool was a perfect place to cool off and relax after being out and about; and the billiard table provided enjoyment for all! And having our own washer and dryer was incredibly convenient, especially when traveling with a baby. Wonderful memories were made for our family at Il Granaio!

Nous avons découvert un endroit incroyable avec une vue et un décor fééerique typiquement de la Toscane. Les hôtes Andréa et Fabio sont très accueillants et disponibles, et la maison était impéccable et identique aux photos. C'est plus qu'un 5 étoiles! Nous sommes des fervents de la location par AIrbnb, et ce fut le plus bel endroit que nous avons connu, un coup de coeur! Nous avons pu également profiter d'une dégustation de vin à leur vignoble familial, et ce fut une très belle et enrichissante expérience. Nous avons passé des moments mémorables en Toscane et c'est beaucoup à cause de cette location. De plus, il y a un petit village à proximité, et nous avons découvert de délicieux restaurants. Cette villa est également près de Florence et Sienne. Nous vous recommandons très fortement cet endroit.

Sempre disponibili su tutto. Casa perfettamente in ordine e pulita.

A beautiful home to base ourselves in while exploring Tuscany. Lovely country surrounds. House has everything you need, spacious. Gorgeous terraces and pool. Enjoyed Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena but always great to come back to our Tuscan home! Silvia gave fantastic recommendations - pasta making at Ristorante de Beppino and in house chef Beppe highlights. Also loved Monterosola winery tasting. Very highly recommend. One of the best!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa in Lucca! The property is stunning, with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside that made every morning feel like a dream. The villa itself is spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive—they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and offered great tips for local spots to explore. It was clear they truly cared about creating a memorable experience for their guests. Most of all, the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Whether enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace or simply soaking in the scenery, it was exactly the getaway we were hoping for. We can’t wait to come back!

Thankyou Brian (and family) for what was an unforgettable magical experience. The villa far surpassed all our expectations. The villa is beyond beautiful and oozes rustic charm, perfect for a large group. Rooms were clean and with beautiful views (on the top floor) to wake up to, so much so that it felt like a dream. Bathrooms were lovely and higher spec than expected for such an old building. swimming pool serves it's purpose, but it's in a gorgeous garden amongst olive groves....stunning. Brian and family were the perfect balance of keeping in touch and ensuring we had everything we needed whilst ensuring that we felt we had the place to ourselves, a perfectly ran operation. We arranged a dinner one evening in the house cooked by Brian's mother which was an amazing experience to enjoy such a wonderful setting with friends. thank you Brian! we already hope to return in future.

Thank you Tommaso, a fantastic view and pool, a wonderful villa and you’re proactive assistance at every turn, highly recommended. The drive down the track is worthwhile for the tranquility it affords. Can’t recommend Tommy & the villa enough & as for Tuscany, it’s incredible!

Du kan sluta leta nu! Detta är förmodligen det mest perfekta boendet och med den bästa värden i hela Toscana. Detta sagt av en mycket resvan och ganska kräsen familj från Sverige som denna gång åkte med tre söner 16, 18 och 22 år och äldste sonens fästmö. Värden Lorenzo är helt fantastisk både före och under vistelsen: snabba svar, otroligt hjälpsam och väldigt tillmötesgående. Du bor i en renoverad kvarn (två superfräscha separata byggnader varav en är nybyggd) i den lilla byn Montefoscoli, med vidunderlig utsikt över landskapet och solläge från morgon till kväll. Stor uteplats med grill och pool för härliga måltider och avkoppling. Inne finns allt man behöver och mer därtill: full utrustat kök, diskmaskin, tvättmaskin, strykutrustning, ac i varje sovrum. Bra wifi och tv-box. Utmärkt litet bageri 50 m från bostaden. En liten Coopbutik 5 minuters gångavstånd från bostaden med allt man behöver. Vi har redan tipsat vänner och bekanta om detta boende — bättre blir det inte!

Wir haben wundervolle Tage in dieser sehr charmanten und ungewöhnlichen Unterkunft verbracht. Claire war super hilfreich und hat sogar bei Regen als wir mal nicht zu Hause waren, die Sachen für uns ins Trockene gebracht. Wundervolle Aussicht! Das Angebotene Abendessen Montag und Freitag unheimlich lecker und den Preis wert! Jederzeit wieder!

Thanks Daniele for allowing us to stay in your home! The house is stunning and spacious- the azure room in particular is a dream! We loved the pool and the spectacular infinity views and all the greenery around the house. An easy 5 minute drive to Castelnuovo do Garfagnana for any supermarkets and a good base to explore the Apuan Alps. This house will have pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay, the house really felt like a home and was instantly relaxing. The whole booking and check in process was very straightforward and Giuseppe who met us to show us around the property and hand over the keys was very welcoming, kind and informative. The house has wonderfully peaceful location, with beautiful views. It has been furnished with excellent taste, and so adds to the feeling of being in a real home rather than a rental. The gardens and pool are delightful and evenings on the loggia will be remembered for a long time, we cant wait to return!

Wow! Christina’s property is beautiful! The surrounding Tuscan hills make for a breathtaking setting, with wonderful views to the east and west for sunrise and sunset. We enjoyed drinking in the views from the terraces and while cooling off in the pool, which was a great size and bigger than we had imagined from the pictures. Watching the local swallows, who would soar overhead and drink from the pool, was a real treat. The villa itself was spacious, clean and thoughtfully decorated. Christina was a wonderful host, ready to greet us on arrival and to help us check-out, and responsive to all our messages. She even bought us a lilo for the pool when I asked if there was one! Christina had lots of suggestions of local things to do, from the best artisanal butcher from whom to purchase bistecca alla fiorentina, to where to buy the finest locally produced olive oil and Chianti. We hope to return, a real treat! Grazie mille, Christina!

Merveilleux séjour dans cette villa de rêve à la vue imprenable et aux extérieurs magnifiques. Lorenzo est très accueillant, disponible, reactif et gentil, je ne saurai que recommander cet endroit où nous avons passé 5 jours inoubliables. Les intérieurs sont également très fonctionnels, tout était très propre et bien pensé !

Can't say enough great things about this villa and Cristina as it's host! This was a family trip with 12 of us, and the villa provided more than enough space, bathrooms, amenities, and convenience for everyone. Sleeping arrangements were plenty and comfortable, bathrooms were larger than what you might expect for a European villa, several of them with dual sinks as well, and lots of modern upgrades that made things convenient but nothing to steal away from the absolute charm of the villa, especially the back yard by the pool. We loved spending most of our time there when we weren't exploring inside the city walls of Lucca (which are right outside the front door of the villa, an easy 5-10 minute walk away!) There were also coffee shops, markets, a pharmacy, a bank, etc., right around the corner from the villa for even more convenience. And Cristina herself? AMAZING. So proactive with communication, provided tons of information, and was very kind and welcoming when we arrived. THE BEST.

Cristiana and Mauro were the most friendly hosts. They made us feel immediately comfortable and set us up for a great stay at their wonderful home, offering some fabulous nearby dinner recommendations, as well as directing us to local grocery stores, and train stations for easy day trips into Florence, etc. The farmhouse is beautiful and brimming with character throughout, offering spectacular views over Vicchio. The private swimming pool is bigger than the photos suggest, and not too deep - the kids loved it. The hot tub allows you to sit back and drink in the peaceful Tuscan views. The sauna was a great touch, which we enjoyed throughout our stay, along with the pool table/games room. The outdoor terrace is large and great for a BBQ. The road leading up to the house is a fun drive - we rented a 4x4 (highly recommended if you are planning to stay here) that made it relatively comfortable. We loved our stay and would definitely like to return as there is so much more to explore there!

Séjour incroyable en famille (12 adultes). Nous avons apprécié la propreté, l’espace des pièces, le calme et bien la piscine très propre avec le mobilier relax. A conseiller vivement, idéal aussi pour des familles avec des enfants encore petits.

We've just arrived back in England after a lovely May half-term week at Monica's house - around 50 mins drive from Pisa airport. We are a family of four, so the kids shared the second bedroom and there was more than sufficient living space. The gardens are beautiful, pool clean and stylish and views amazing at the top of a hill. The air con was welcome as the weather hotted up and great selection of DVDs were very useful in the evenings. We were able to visit Florence, Siena and San Gimignano easily in our hire car. With local restaurants and supermarkets a short drive away, the house remained close enough to everything we needed yet far enough away from any town for it to give us the rest and peace we needed. Thank you Monica for sharing your home with us and the great recommendations and contact - we will definitely try to book again for any other trip to Tuscany.

We loved our time at La Balza - such a picturesque, peaceful and relaxing stay! Alessandro and his parents were a pleasure to deal with and answered all of my questions very quickly. They were very hospitable and accommodating. The area surrounding Radda in Chianti is absolutely beautiful and we loved the easy access to so many different cities and small villages. Would definitely recommend. A+

The biggest recommendation!!! We loved this place. The house is filled with various cozy areas, so there is plenty of shade, as we were travelling with small babies. We loved the outdoor seating area, and the pool area is more beautiful than the images shows. Only thing we would mention, is that there is a 10-15min drive uphill a very narrow road before you reach the house. It was not a problem for us, as we wanted to stay as much time as possible at the house. Other than that, Francesca was an amazing host and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely come back another time!

Absolutely fantastic! We couldn’t have wished for a better place. The accommodation was both charming and comfortable, with incredible attention to detail. The view, the surroundings, and the overall atmosphere were simply magical – a true dream spot for relaxing. Everything was clean, well-organized, and inviting, and the hosts were warm and helpful from start to finish. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Fantastisk ophold i et skønt hus. Huset var super rent, fedt indrettet og lå i smukke og stille omgivelser. Der var mange lækre restauranter i området og et super udgangspunkt for at tage til en masse lækre byer, havet og natur. Værten var utrolig venlig og hjælpsom under hele vores ophold. Vi følte os virkelig velkomne og kunne ikke have ønsket os en bedre oplevelse. Kan varmt anbefales!
