Podere Casanuova

This property is absolutely amazing. Our host, Lucia, was very friendly and helpful from day 1. Our appartment surprisingly was equipped with literally everything you might need on a family stay, even a wash machine for laundry, fully equipped kitchen etc. It is decorated in a sensitive way, but you can feel the sense for detail. It can get quite hot in the night and as there is no A/C make sure you get some anti mosquito equipment. The location is very convenient for trips in Tuscany, however you absolutely need a car as the property is at the end of the bumpy road which is not even on the map in Waze, but there are signs along the road :-) Parking is on the site in shade, which we found very good as the temps in July reached 35 degrees... Our kids enjoyed the pool a lot - it has a shower, it is cleaned daily and not to deep, not to shallow and big enough, so everyone can have fun. There are enough sunbeds and umbrellas for everybody. As a bonus, you can see San Gimignano's towers from the pool! Some rooms/appartments have a terrace right outside their room, some have a dedicated space a but further, so consider this when booking. On the negative side, the wireless connection could have been more stable... Overall, we absolutely recommend this property, it's a hidden gem!
