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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Lovely accommodation
Great spacious accommodation with lovely views and a welcome breeze! All the appliances you'll need on holiday and Steve was a very attentive property contact who helped to resolve a couple of minor issues we had. It is mentioned in the listing but its worth just being aware that the accommodation is around 30 minutes from most things such as restaurants, shop, etc. Not a criticism of the property but this may not work for everyone. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Gorgeous property!
We loved this house. Terraces are beautiful and the views and the sunsets are incredible. Air conditioning was a welcome relief upstairs and the pool was perfect and never too crowded. The track is a slight negative as you have to take it very slowly if you don't want to wreck your car but otherwise it was absolutely lovely.

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.

Wonderfu properly in beautiful Tuscan countryside.
We spent 2 weeks at Podera Colinella villa 14 and had a wonderful holiday. The villa itself is a semi detached property, although the neighbouring property was only occupied ( by the couple who owned it) for 5 days whilst we were there and we didn't have any noise issues. Overall there are about 14 properties in the complex and it was very quiet. The property is accessed by a 3km track, which was easily navigated in the car (which is essential). The villa itself is small and cosy, we were a party of 4 and fitted comfortably. The furnishings were good and beds very comfortable, we were fortunate to have excellent weather, so the fans in the bedrooms were a bonus. The pool area was lovely, with charming views over the countryside. And most days we had the pool to ourselves. The large pool wasn't heated but that wasn't a problem for us in the hot weather, and was 1.4m depth throughout. There was some shade around the pool area, but some more would be useful. We had a wonderful evening at the villa when a private chef (Laura) visited and cooked a delicious 5 course dinner for us, which we ate on the terrace whilst enjoying the sunset (the 360° views were beautiful). Other evenings we either ate out at one of the many marvellous restaurants in San Gimingano or cooked in the villa ourselves. San Gimingano was about a 20 minute drive from the villa and we visited frequently. We also explored Siena, Lucca, Pienza which were all fascinating and beautiful ( I would recommend going early to find parking space though), driving in the Tuscan countryside was relatively easy, parking in popular tourist towns could be more tricky. Property manager Steve was very easily contacted by email, and was very helpful with suggested trips, he arranged for our wonderful chef and suggested a lovely local vineyard which we visited for wine tasting. We had a wonderful holiday at The Podera Colinella, and would definitely return in future.

Stunning views, home from home house, great pool
The directions made it easy to find. Parking is easy and secure. The house was clean with good supplies for the dishwasher, washing machine and some other household items. The kitchen was a good size and well equipped for all our family meals. The beds were all comfortable and we were grateful for the fans and mosquito nets in a hot July. The two terraces gave us stunning views over the countryside. An umbrella for some shade would be lovely. The pool side had a good shaded area, although there was some competition for this in the latter part of the day. However all the other guests from the other houses were all very friendly, some of them were other owners. The pool was always clean as was the whole property. The position of this house makes you feel you are in a private villa on a private estate. Very luxurious! We can't wait to book again.

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.
