About this villa rental

The Villa is the perfect example of a Tuscan country villa, it is surrounded by mature gardens and has a large private swimming pool with a fantastic panorama of the surrounding countryside. Incredibly although the villa is immersed in all this peace and tranquillity, medieval San Gimignano, which is a joy to explore, is only 10 minutes walk away.

The original house dates back to 1600's and has recently been immaculately restored to its original splendour. Now divided into two parts, both have been delightfully furnished to a very high standard including many antique pieces and family heirlooms. Characteristic fireplaces form the centrepieces of spacious lounges, and well equipped kitchens invite you to prepare delicious meals. The private garden which surrounds the villa is immaculately maintained with lawns, mature trees, and flowering plants and enjoys a fine panorama. Perfect for dining alfresco or just enjoying a chilled glass of 'Vernaccia di San Gimignano' whilst enjoying the essence of the Tuscany.

The perfectly placed swimming pool (12m x 6m) overlooks the olive groves, and is framed by a paved terrace and lawns. It is a lovely spot for relaxing and enjoying a swim after a busy day's sightseeing. Guests are free to wander the 10 acre estate which is perfect for country walks and the town San Gimignano with its selection of shops and restaurants is easily reachable on foot. The panoramic area where there is the swimming pool extends almost until the alternative road of the town.
The ground floor of the villa, has a comfortably furnished lounge, and a large kitchen both of which open onto the garden and two characteristic bedrooms which open onto the side garden areas. There are also two shower rooms.

The first floor of the villa, is only a few steps from its garden as the house is built unusually on a slope. Its comfortable lounge is very cosy and there is a large kitchen with an unusual antique round marble table. There are two characteristic bedrooms, one with four poster bed, the other with two single beds which opens onto a small balcony, and two bathrooms. The two levels are connected via the garden making the villa perfect for larger parties whilst retaining privacy. There is a communal laundry room, barbecue, and WiFi internet connection is also available at a small local charge.

The friendly owners have a small detached cottage on the estate which they use. Parking is in the grounds below the house.

When you can tear yourself away from this idyllic country retreat, the medieval hilltop towns of Colle di Val d'Elsa and Volterra famous for its alabaster are within half an hour's drive, whilst both Siena and Florence are easily accessible via road, or nearby bus and rail links. San Gimignano can be reached on foot or by local shuttle bus that runs every hour and stops 300m from the property.

We had a wonderful week. The owners were very welcoming. We turned up a little early and they were more than happy for us to use the pool and enjoy the wonderful garden whilst the cleaning was finished off . I would say the photos didn’t do it justice. It is literally a 10 minute walk into san Gimignano, which is a beautiful little town .. excellent ice cream and pizzas. I would highly recommend a day in Volterra. Firenze also beautiful but way too many tourists and hard to park, whereas Volterra was much easier on this front . coop supermarket is 7 minutes walk , where we bought some lovely local produce to eat . House had everything that you need in terms of kitchen equipment. We had a great week and our hosts were always on hand if we needed them , but they kept well away in terms of privacy, which was really good. Highly recommend.. only downside was the mosquitoes!

Unreal property with great views and amenities. No need to leave aside from the incredible town of San Gimignano 10 mins walk up the hill. Amazingly well kept, bit the property and the historic town of San G, a winning combo for a relaxing stay with enough of interest near by for you not to have to make longer treks to other locations (although still worth it if that for you). Finally the hosts were very warm and welcoming and always there to help (as they live on site) but never in any way intrusive to your stay. Would highly recommend and go back myself!

Our family loved our stay at Villa Podere La Tesa. The villa was within walking distance to San Gimignano, but we chose to drive because it is up hill to get to the town. We never had a problem finding parking so that was a plus. Even though a map shows the villa next to a road we never heard the traffic noise. Matter of fact we didn't even realize there was a road close until we were out by the pool which is away from the villa and still the traffic noise was barely noticeable. The villa is wonderful and very comfortable. The owners live on the property and are the nicest people. We loved everything about this villa and hated to leave. I hope some day to return to this beautiful place!

This house is in the perfect place, in the beautiful Tuscan countryside but less than a mile’s walk to the centre of San Gimignano and even less to the supermarket. It is situated amongst olive groves and a well kept garden with enough shade, a beautiful swimming pool and plenty of seats and sun loungers. The house was immaculately clean with everything you could need for your stay. We were a family of 3 couples and a 4 year old and the set up of the house as two two-bed apartments was perfect to give everyone sufficient space and privacy. We arrived at 10pm and the owners were there to welcome us. We would happily return again.

We stayed here for a week in October, taking day trips to various surrounding places (Siena, Volterra, Cinque Terre, Florence, and San Gimignano of course). It was quite warm the week we were there and we were a little disappointed that the pool had been closed for the season. The bus system was not very reliable and taxi service was almost nonexistent. Some days we spent many hours trying to figure out transportation. Car rental may be the way to go even though we were told we didn’t need to do that. Our hosts were very gracious and kind and went out of their way to help us out. We would definitely recommend this place!

Our family of 8 gathered here to explore Tuscany together. It was wonderful in every respect. We loved being able to walk to San Gimignano after a day of exploring , to shop , have dinner and gelato and share our experiences. The villa was perfect and the owners , Victorio and Marina , were lovely and so welcoming! Perfect location to explre beautiful Tuscany!

We stayed with friends for a week at this place at the end of August and enjoyed it very much. The two apartments were in very good shape and well looked after by the owner. We had a lovely time at the pool, sitting on one of the terrasses with our friends and getting to know San Gimignano - without the rush of the day visitors. Very friendly and helpful owner couple. Thank you!

A typical Tuscan villa / farmhouse surrounded by gardens and olive groves on the edge of San Gimignano. A lovely split level villa, perfect for two families to holiday together. We were 9 people - 4 x adults and 5 x kids under 12 and it was just about the right size with all the amenities we needed. The grounds are lovely and the photos don’t do them justice. The pool is great and where the kids spent most of their time. It’s a 15 min walk uphill to San Gimignano which is the same as some of car parks around the town as it gets very busy with day trippers. We used the villa as a base for a day trip to Sienna which was easy. The owners are nice, friendly and helpful.
