Wonderful apartment in beautiful area

We have just returned from a weeks stay and were both so impressed with the thought that had gone into the accommodation. It was a very hot week but the air conditioning throughout worked perfectly and was a real relief every time we returned after a trip out and made for comfortable sleeping conditions too. The bed was really comfy and insect nets at every window and on the bedroom door were also really useful. It was perfectly situated for day trips to Florence, Pisa and Siena. San Gimignano was absolutely gorgeous and only 15 minutes away meaning we could arrive early, find a parking space with ease and see it before the masses descended upon the town by late morning. Upon arrival we were met by Olga who gave us a quick tour. The whole place was spotless and well equipped. The swimming pool is like paradise and on the whole the other guests were all looking for a quiet and relaxing week too. There was a very friendly atmosphere around the place. The only possible downside at all was that other than to load and unload your car needed to be left at the car park at the top of the “village”. This made for a quiet and safe place but it should be noted that this was quite a steep slope on uneven and loose ground for anyone with any mobility issues, bad knees, hips etc. Both the owner, Konstantin, and Olga who met us upon arrival were friendly, helpful and quick to reply to any emails or texts. This really was a near perfect holiday in absolutely beautiful surroundings. Wish we could have stayed for longer!

Das Appartement ist gut ausgestattet. Betten top Im Sonnenuntergang auf der Terasse sitzen,den Tag ausklingen lassen,nachdem man sich zuvor im super Pool entspannt oder abgekühlt hat, ist Urlaub. Am Pool war nie Stress. Die Nachbarappartment waren belegt,aber man sieht sich kurz und das wars. Die Stimmung im Dorf ist sehr entspannt gewesen Das Umland zu erkunden macht Spaß. Um die Ecke gab es eine kleine Fattoria ,wir haben dort gerne eingekauft. Noch nie solche Tomaten 🍅 gegessen. Wir kommen gerne wieder Liebe Grüße

Perfekte Entspannung

Mit dem Sonnenaufgang einen Espresso vor der Haustüre genießen mit Blick nach Volterra, danach eine Abkühlung im Pool mit herrlicher Aussicht über die Toskana danach ein Frühstück in absoluter Ruhe, was will man mehr? Super saubere Wohnung, die Küche perfekt ausgestattet, die Betten bequem, schnelles WLAN. Hatten noch nie so einen schönen Pool. Für uns war das der perfekte Urlaub mit Pool, Sightseeing und erholsamer Ruhe.

Endroit magnifique

Le cadre et la piscine sont merveilleux, l'appartement parfait et spacieux bien que le canapé lit du salon soit un peu vieux et le matelas pas au niveau du reste. Il manque une lumière sur la terrasse de derrière car pour manger le soir sur la terrasse de devant à 4 très compliqué car la table est minuscule. La route pour y accéder est une route de gravier de 2 km pas très bien entretenue, mais dans l'ensemble très bonne location. Merci à Olga pour sont accueil...

About the host

Hosted by Konstantin Pelikh

We live in Tuscany.

Why they chose this property

We like all Tuscany but when a few years ago we found Mommialla we realized that this is the best place of what we have seen before. We have bought this apartment and now we are happy to share our joy of real Tuscany with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Our appartment is in a lovely reconstructed authentic village rebuilt in details from ancient ruins. The apartment is made in an adorable Tuscany style, which is combined with a comfortable modern equipment. For example there is excellent morden-equipped pool in borgo shaped and designed lake alike.
It is very attractive for us that our Casa is placed among wildlife area. We like that the air is filled with the scent of flowers and wild herbs. And we very like absolute silence at night which can be broken only by sounds of nature.
We like to travel around a lot by car because there are many interesting places not far from borgo we are staying in.
During our stay we are filled with joy and full of impressions of peaceful and calm surroundings.
