Das Haus ist riesig (noch größer als es auf den Bildern wirkt) und wirklich sehr schön! Die Aussicht ist super, mit dem Auto kommt man schnell in den Ort zum Supermarkt oder über die Autobahn nach Florenz, Bologna, etc, Die Vermieter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Wir waren 17 Jugendliche und haben super in das Haus gepasst!

Plenty of space for all the family, a

We had such a great stay at Villa San Martino! The villa was perfect for our group of 12 people! The house has everything you need and the kitchen ist well equiped. The outside area with the pool is a perfect spot to relax! On top, you have a breathtaking view over the landscape of Tuscany! Luca was a very kind host, who was always available for us! Thanks for the wonderful stay! We‘d like to come again, next year! Regards, Marie and Daniel!

Nice house, area, pool, friendly

The house is slightly shabby, but clean, comfortable and much more spacious than the website suggests. It swallowed 19 people with ease ( two teenagers on sofas). The beds are very comfortable and linen and towels nice. At night, we switched on the air circulation systems which are there for the many woodburners in the house, and the hum happily masked the noise of a barking dog in the valley below. Small moan; not enough wine glasses for number the house accommodates .We are keen cooks; we could have done with more chopping boards and sharper knives; there is no toaster . Also no icetray, strangely! But we managed to feed a big group with lovely meals The outdoor bread oven and huge BBQ were put to good use. Lots of space for playing games inside and out, with extensive terraced gardens; lots of wild herbs. Our two dogs were very happy( though hot! they could keep cool indoors) We ate outside next to the lovely pool every meal.Wonderful sunsets, as the house sits high on a ridge between pretty valleys with views all around . Easy journey to station and into Florence. Bologna airport 45 mins drive, but no direct train from there. Quite different terrain from further south in Tuscany; almost mountainous, and wooded. We all loved this holiday , and family and friends came from far and wide to join us, and it worked brilliantly.

We had a wonderful stay in Luca’s villa and I highly recommend it to everybody looking for a Tuscanese vacation with friends and/or family. The villa is very spacious and could comfortably accomodate our group of 10 adults and 8 children. The house and kitchen was very well equipped and there is even a stone pizza oven. We spent most of the day and evenings by the poolside enjoying the spectacular scenery. The villa is on a hilltop with breathtaking views of the Tuscanese landscape. Luca was a wonderful and friendly host providing good tips for making the most of our vacation. If we needed any help or advice we could also ask the housekeeper next door. She was even able to provide a needle and thread for fixing my childs teddy bear :) There are 2 great restaurants in the nearby village (5 min by car) with delicious and authentic Italian cusine. A bit further away (15 min) there is a small city (Barberino) with a great shopping outlet to satisfy the shopaholics of our group. All-in-all we had a great stay and highly recommend Luca’s villa for a truly Tuscanese vacation!

It was such a nice house. We were super busy touring Florence and Rome, but I wish that I could have stayed a few more days.

We were a large group which can be tricky to manage but Luca went out of his way to make us all feel welcome. You couldn't ask for a more picturesque setting! The views were breathtaking...perfect if you want to get away from it all and enjoy a truly authentic slice of Italian life.

Amazing place and very spacious. The pictures don't lie the place was nice and clean. The pool was nice. Beautiful views and very close to the highway. Andrea the grounds keeper was very nice and Helpful. I would definitely rent there again.

Wir verbrachten eine traumhafte Woche in der Villa. Luca hat uns sehr nett empfangen und viele Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt gegeben. Im April war leider der Pool noch nicht gefüllt und stattdessen mit einer Plane abgedeckt. Ansonsten wirklich alles so toll wie auf den Bildern! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Nous sommes arrivés le samedi 13 août dans la villa San Martino, la villa nous a beaucoup plus mais la piscine était verte, j'ai demandé au propriétaire si c'était normal il nous a dit que la piscine était traitée au Brome, alors que les skimmers étaient pleins de pastille de chlore. Nous lui avons fait confiance nous nous sommes baignés l'eau piquait énormément et les enfants ont attrapé des boutons dimanche nous avons donc rappelé le propriétaire qui n'a rien fait pour nous aider,un technicien est venu jeudi et nous n'avons pas pu nous baigner de la semaine. Nous sommes en cours de procédure pour se faire indemniser.

Really lovely stay in this amazing villa. Some great period features and large rooms. Luca was great and took the time to explain a lot about the property and the surrounding area.

We were 10 adults and 4 little kids and enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Villa San Martino. We had a very good contact with Luca, the owner before and at our arrival. The house is beautiful and lovely furnished and with lots of space for everyone even if you want some privacy within a big group. We enjoyed the pool as well as the big park around the villa. Andrea cared for everything during our stay. The kitchen has every thing you want and need. All in all a big win for us. Thank you Luca and Andrea

Overall very good. You'll have a nice holiday. Plus points Luca the host, friendly and speaks some English The views The pool (12 metres) Great for cycling and motor biking Very big house Handy for the airport and Florence Bad points Busy road right next to it Pool a bit cold Furnishings very rustic (old!), beds could do with being replaced 5th bedroom had no door and had a man hole in the floor

We were a family group ranging from a 3 month old to a 89 year old. there is so much room in this villa for relaxing and doing your own thing. All beds were clean and comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped with more than enough of everything, the kettle however could do with up-dating.The surrounding area is beautiful there is so much to see if you can drag yourself away from the villaThank you Luca for helping us out when we needed it you were always available if we had to contact you, we were very grateful that you could arrange transport for usIf we are fortunate enough to return to Florence we would certainly consider this villa again

Nous avons séjourné 4 jours dans cette maison avec un grand groupe d'amis .La maison est très grande et dispose d'un charme magique . La vue sur la campagne Toscane est merveilleuse. Il s'agit d'un bon point de départ pour visiter la Toscane et la grande piscine permet de se relaxer au soleil . Le proprietaire et le gardien sont d'une disponibilité étonnante . Je conseille cette maison à tous .

Cela fait la deuxième fois que nous venons à la Villa San Marina et de nouveau ce séjour a été féerique. la maison est spacieuse et toutes les commodités sont prévues, le jardin magnifiquement entretenu et reposant. le choix du repos au bord de la piscine ou des visites à Florence ou Sienne était notre seul soucis. nous y retournons dés l'année prochaine. Un grand merci au propriétaire toujours aussi accueillant. Alice.

We were a group of X11 Bikers & X3 Couples in a people carrier whom travelled over from the UK for the Mugello Moto GP 2014, we could not have found a better location, 15 minutes from the track on beautiful winding roads, close to restaurants & shops in a vehicle, Pool was heated , accomodation was plentyful & clean all amenities were available & we were greeted by Luca, whom could not offer enough to make our stay a memorable one & what a suprise to find that this Villa is actually sitting on the old Mugello race circuit. BBQ'd by the pool one evening too. Can praise this place enough, even though we only stayed for X3 nights, are looking to book again as a base in the future. Cheers Luca

Nous avons passé 2 semaines très agréables dans cette villa idéale pour de grandes tribus. Nous étions 3 familles avec 10 enfants de 11 à 18 ans et chacun s'y est senti bien car la maison est très spacieuse. La piscine est de bonne taille et très appréciée par forte chaleur. Un barbecue immense nous a permis de faire de bonnes grillades pour tous. Le village de Barberino est à 10 minutes en voiture . On y trouve entre autres un supermarché, un boucher, un boulanger et une pharmacie. Il y a un marché le samedi matin également. La proximité de Florence nous a permis de nous y rendre plusieurs fois. Nous avons visité également Pistoia, Lucques, Pises et Sienne. La région est magnifique. Nous y reviendrons.

Excellente semaine de vacances (11 personnes en juillet) dans cette très vaste demeure ancienne située dans un très bel environnement. Grandes chambres, belle piscine, barbecue approprié aux grands groupes. Localisation idéale pour visiter Florence, Sienne etc ou pour de belles promenades dans une nature verdoyante. Accueil très sympathique du propriétaire.
