AMAZING! GORGEOUS! SPACIOUS! SPOTLESS! CHARMING! VIEWS SECOND-TO-NONE! CONVENIENT! Everything we could have hoped for and more booking a villa sight unseen! Alessandro - the owner - could not possibly have been more accommodating! From beginning to end, he was responsive, kind, bending over backwards to accommodate our needs. The spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms were perfect for 5 sisters to have their own space after a day of sightseeing! We flew into Florence, rented a vehicle and drove about 1.5 hours to the villa! Upon arrival to San Gimignano, Alessandro met us in town, gave us a lay for the land, and led us to the villa - an easy 5 min drive from town center & and a 15 min breathtaking scenic walk into town. We made this amazing villa with views one shall NEVER FORGET our home base for the week. From here a 2 hour drive to Cinque Terre for a day, a day spent in Lucca and Pisa, another day to Florence and a train ride to Venice from Florence were our highlights! There is a very convenient Park & Ride outside Florence called Villa Costanza to park as long as you wish. From the Park & Ride there is a tram to the Florence Train Station departing every 15 minutes! SO SWEET! Parking in Florence is almost impossible and VERY expensive!
One of our many highlights was having Alessandro's aunt cook a typical Tuscan dinner for us one evening! What a treat and most delicious too!
Alessandro and Villa Porticciola will live in our hearts & minds FOREVER!
