- "What an amazing visit. 12 of us descended upon Villa Iris and we all left beaming with light. This place is special and while I'm sure there are other lovely Villas in the area, you cannot go wrong here. Gabrielle and Caterina were amazing at making sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly responsive. Shower snobs will LOVE the water pressure, which was a pleasant surprise. Hanging out by the pool and bocce court was a regular night time routine and we grilled 2x on the outdoor grill, which was spectacular. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great group getaway."

- "The accommodations were extremely great. The owner/family were always available to help with everything. The grounds and accommodations couldn’t have been better. We will definitely return to this property. There isn’t anything that could have been Improved. More than meet our expectations. With a family of 5 and ages that are wide everyone had a fantastic time. Fantastic awesome time!" - "Tuscany was always on our “bucket list” but our stay at Il Podere lo Spadino exceeded our wildest dreams. Pictures do not do it justice. Pictures can not let you smell the honeysuckle or feel the soft Tuscan breeze blowing through the windows. Then there is the food! The amazing food that is prepared by Barbara, the hostess, is beyond compare. Having eaten in the finest 5 star restaurants around the world, I can honestly say that her meals were a delight to all of the senses & would be chosen every time over a fancy restaurant. The Montagnani Family are precious people who opened their lovely home to us & made us feel like part of their family. I can not wait to return again. The town of San Gimignano is lovely & the shopping is far better there than in Florence. With world class views of Tuscany from our windows & a lovely pool on site, we never felt the need to wander too far from our home base. 5 stars is not a high enough rating to give Barbara & Il Podere lo Spadino Villa. We will be back at soon as possible."

It was much better than we expected. Sabrina was a wonderful host and surprised us with goodies throughout our stay. We all hated to leave but I hope to return." - "Villa Sabrina was a lovely location for our group of 4 friends. Our host, Sabrina, was so nice! She greeted us when we arrived and left a big basket of goodies! She left a fruit tart and a bottle of wine mid week. The villa was very quaint, well stocked and the views were just spectacular! While it was a little too cool to use the pool, it was very clean and inviting. The villa is attached to another home where our host lives.

- "We stayed here with 4 adults and a teenager for a quiet time in the Summer. It was a perfect place for us, with a great quiet location, wonderful views and high quality house and furniture. We feel lucky to be able to stay here. The 3rd bedroom is a guest house not in the main building, which was perfect for us but might not be good for everyone. The location is nice and quiet but its a long way if you want to go to a cafe, shop or restaurant (Aside from the one just down the road). The access road is partially unsealed which might not be for everyone."

We would definitely return." - "Great location. Calm, peaceful but close enough to the town. Villa was the best we have ever stayed in (6 trips to Tuscany).
