2 Bedroom Apartment in Gavignano, Poggibonsi

THE PROPERTY
The landscape surrounding the little hamlet of Gavignano is completely quiet and unspoiled, making a perfect setting for a country holiday, ideal for gentle walks and picnics. The towers of S. Gimignano are just visible across the valley. Podere OLiveta which translates as 'Olive grove Farm' consists of 5 different apartments which enjoy a pretty location up in the hills. Podere Oliveta is located in a certified carbon neutral area that means no air pollution . Each apartment has its own independent entrance and own garden area with barbecue. Much careful thought has gone into decoration, furnishing and ensuring the apartments are equipped down to the last detail. There is a swimming pool surrounded by a sun terrace which has stunning views overlooking the rolling olive clad hills, the sprinkling of cypresses trees and the majestic towers of S. Gimignano in the distance. Local wine and olive oil can be bought nearby.
Podere Oliveta is a good choice for exploring central Tuscany. The main attractions of the region can be reached very easily. The highway which connects Florence to Siena is only 3 km distant. And the villa's location only 3 km from the railway station of Poggibonsi is a good base to visit Florence and Siena even without a car: You can park your car in Poggibonsi (free parking behind the railway station) and take the train in both directions. During the week, trains to Florence/Siena and back go regularly (approx. every 1. hour). The train ride takes about 30 minutes to Siena and 1. hour to Florence. In Florence the train will take you to the main train station which is right in the centre of Florence - it is just a short walk from the station 'Santa Maria Novella' to the Cathedral or the Uffizi. In Siena the railway station is located approx. 1 km from centre, and you may have to take a bus to reach the old town on top of the hill or take the escalator.

Summary: We spent 3 lovely relaxing winter weeks in this very comfortable villa. It was a great base for exploring the Chianti region and has quick access to the highway for visits to Florence and Siena. Our villa was clean, spacious, private and located in a very peaceful setting. Fabio is an excellent host who is happy to provide local suggestions and very responsive to any questions before and during the stay. We would stay again if ever in the region again.

Summary: we have 3 children under 4 and travelled with both sets of grandparents too. each family stayed in a separate apartment which was great in allowing everyone their own space as everyine had a garden with sunloungers, bbq and facilities for washing (essential for us!) . you do need a car but the location is fantastic for sight seeing and the pool is great too. Fabio couldnt have been more helpful!

Summary: Great location in Tuscany with awesome scenery surrounding the apartment. Enjoyed the morning greeting by the rooster as he called out at 9:00 am. Convenient location to restaurants and wineries. Fabio was a wonderful host and explained the highlights of the area. In cooler weather, heat is only available for 2 hours each day without an extra charge.

Summary: The 1 bedroom apartment is small but cozy. The kitchen was well stocked, but we missed not having a coffee maker. There was an expresso maker, but nothing to make a pot of regular cofffee. We ended up buying some instant coffee. Our unit had a nice balcony with table & 2 chairs- nice for morning coffee or evening happy hour. It was clean and very quiet. We weren't sure the other apartments were occupied. The main criticism I have is the stairs leading to the pool. They were hazardous and need to be repaired. My husband has mobility issues and after climbing once, refused to go up to the pool again. Fabio and his wife were very hospitable. When we arrived Fabio's wife was standing at the end of the driveway waving us down. Since we arrived a little later than planned, I suspect she had been waiting for some time. The apartments are located in a small hamlet about 1 mile up a narrow country road, but easy to get to. Once leaving that road, it was only about 1 minute to reach the main 4 lane highway. We had planned to take the train into Florence to avoid the traffic in that city, but Fabio advised taking the bus instead. That was good advice, as the bus stop is near the supermarket with free parking and leaves every hour with direct journey to Florence. This apartment is not fancy, but if you're looking for "real Italy" and convenience I would recommend it.

Summary: This apartment is in a perfect location to explore Tuscany and Chianti. It has easy access to the highway between Florence and Siena while feeling like you are miles away! Our apartment was clean, comfortable, private and well equipped. The owners are wonderful, helpful and they are only a phone call away. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
