Tuscan house in an ancient village near San Gimignano

Welcome to our Tuscan oasis.

The apartment is a heaven of tranquility that is part of an ancient village recently recovered and surrounded by the greenery of the rich Tuscan countryside. The view of the historic city of Volterra and the landscape is breathtaking.
A few kilometers away are the cities of San Gimignano, Montaione, Gambassi Terme and Certaldo.

In the recent renovation the typical elements of the Tuscan style have been maintained with vaulted ceilings and chestnut beams, brick arches and terracotta floors.

The house is an independent construction and has a large exclusive garden with a wooden pergola and a large table for outdoor dining while enjoying the wonderful panorama.

The interior is equipped with all comforts: air conditioning, free unlimited wifi, washing machine, kitchen with dishwasher, fridge with freezer, hob and oven.

On the ground floor there is a large dining area with a large brick fireplace. On the first floor there is the sleeping area with a double bed and two single bunk beds. Each floor has a comfortable bathroom with shower.

Just a few steps away is the enchanting natural stone swimming pool with a beach-type entrance, equipped with a pleasant hydro-massage and a very suggestive waterfall jet of water; to frame a relaxing solarium area equipped with umbrellas and deck chairs.

There is also a practical free parking.

In the immediate vicinity there are shops and supermarkets for shopping, farms that produce their own products and characteristic restaurants where you can taste the local cuisine.

The location is ideal for exploring Tuscany: by car you can easily reach San Gimignano (about 15 minutes), Volterra (about 20 minutes), Florence (about 45 minutes), Siena (about 45 minutes), Pisa (about 45 minutes) , the Chianti region (about 45 minutes), the sea and the spas.

Florence, Siena and Pisa can also be reached by taking the train from the nearby Certaldo station, avoiding traffic and finding parking.

Very close to perfect!
Excellent and quick contact with property owner. She was very responsive when I had to make very rapid arrangements (less than 72 hours) after a different VRBO didn't work out. Upon our arrival, Roberto (the property manager - lovely gentleman - very prompt and responsive), helped us to understand the property and it's layout. We felt well-prepared and faced no difficulties during our stay. Roberto speaks Italian and English and we speak mostly English with just enough Italian to be embarrassing to ourselves. People in the area are very good at English, although we found it fun and appropriate to try some Italian phrases as well. The pool at this location is nothing short of stunning! It was popular and well attended amongst the other guests of this agriturismo, yet is so large that it never feels overly-crowded. I cannot stress enough how remarkable this pool area and the corresponding view are. This is remarkable Tuscany! Villa location is central to so many towns that we found this to be an excellent area from which to plan busy days and enjoy quiet and tranquil nights. Coop.fi is the local grocery (Certaldo) and is a lovely place to shop. I found the villa to be well-equipped with the kitchen essentials. I would perhaps add a few sharper chef's knives for those who like to cook. I would note that the showers are compact (cruise-ship size) and that would be the #1 thing that I would alter for any future development. Mobility a must as area is hilly! Thank you!

Incredible Family Vacation
The views and overall setting were absolutely gorgeous! In fact some of the pictures I captured during our vacation were beyond belief, but they were absolutely real. San Gimignano is about a fifteen minute drive away and it equally as beautiful. We will definitely be back!

A perfect tranquil get away
Had a fantastic week here with our two teenagers - the property is clean and beautifully presented and the swimming pool is outstanding. It is a little off the beaten track but well worth it for the peace, quiet and outstanding views. Highly recommended.

Fantastic house, view and pool
We have used VRBO/homeaway a lot and this is our best vacation home yet! Two adults and two kids at age 6 and 8, stayed 3 weeks at the apartment, that is really a separate house from the rest of the Mommialla' apartments. The view from the terrace is amazing and we had most of our meals outside. It is close to nature, so be aware of ants and wasps. There is a 2 km gravel road before you reach Mommialla, and this means the area is quiet (and your car will be covered in dust from the dry dusty road). AC made it comfortable during the hot summer nights. Nice decorations of the house. The pictures are spot on. We would have liked a better kitchen knife or a sharpener, and a few more wine glasses, but other than that it is a fully equipped kitchen. Roberto is the manager in the area and made our stay safe and enjoyable. His is Italian and limited in English language, but we could understand each other. Multiple times we ran in to Roberto, and he always asked if all was well. Communication with Franco was fast and efficient. The pool is beautiful and well maintained – the kids loved it! We give our best recommendations.

Lage und Umfeld waren top! Ausstattung gut! Es sollte allerdings in Sachen Sonnenschutz für die Terrasse noch nachgearbeitet werden, und die Terrassenmöbel sollten wegen Altersschwäche erneuert werden.
