Beautiful apartment in San Gimignano - RoccaiaCasa'70

Our apartment is the perfect place to spend your holiday relaxing or doing sports, surrounded by the fantastic landscapes of the Tuscan hills. It has a wonderful infinity pool and a private garden. Ideal for families with children. Small domestic friends are welcome.
The apartment has a vintage style inspired by the 70s, where original furniture has been recovered with the intent of preserving and reusing existing resources. Our philosophy of attention to human relationships, the environment, history, tradition, and good food is a common thread in the management of the apartment.
The apartment is on the ground floor in 95 square meters with views of private green annexes (a terrace, a back room, and a historic pergola) that make outdoor life during the warm months usable and pleasant. The terrace with umbrella is perfect for breakfast and dinner and allows you to enjoy the view of the rose garden, the village, and the surrounding vineyards. In the area facing north, you can enjoy an outdoor lunch and barbecue even in the warm months. The area is surrounded by scented essences of jasmine that blooms in July and others, such as the strawberry tree and the viburnum, that make the stay and the view at the outdoor table pleasant. The pergola overlooking the master bedroom is made with historic vines selected by me and my husband during studies conducted in the urban areas of the nearby medieval city of Siena.
Inside the apartment there is access to a spacious living area with a kitchen equipped with a large central island, dining table, television, bookcase, fireplace, and double sofa bed. The kitchen is equipped with every comfort and accessory for those who love to cook during their stay, experimenting with Tuscan delights, and is characterized by high-quality finishes, including the famous Venetian graniglia in the worktops.
From the living area, you enter the sleeping area through a corridor where there are two bedrooms: one double and one with two single beds. The bathroom with shower, located at the end of the corridor, has a small window overlooking the back garden and is characterized by handcrafted finishes in the polychrome mosaics, in the light travertine, and in the small terracotta mirror.
The apartment is quiet, and the ancient walls ensure the maintenance of an ideal temperature both in summer and winter, even in the absence of air conditioning. From June to September, it offers the use of a large swimming pool overlooking San Gimignano, in which guests are provided with a place with an umbrella and two sun loungers for sunbathing and relaxing immersed in the Tuscan nature. The apartment also offers some free services, including sheets, towels, parking, and wi-fi throughout the property, heating. For stays longer than 14 nights, an apartment cleaning is included, with optional linen change.

NOTE
The regional regulation applies for the payment of a tourist tax of €1.5 for each guest aged 12 and over for up to a maximum of 5 nights, to be paid in cash at check-in. The regulation is approved on an annual basis and may be subject to change.

Tuscan Treasure
Everything you need for a quiet, comfortable, scenic stay in the Tuscan countryside. Nestled among grape vines and olive trees, Rita's home is the perfect place from which to launch day trips to San Gimignano, Siena and Florence, or just for relaxing. Comfortable beds, nice patio and porch with a great view of San Gimingano on a hill to the west. She has a well-equipped kitchen and if you need a supermarket, it is only 10 minutes down the road in Poggibonsi. We also enjoyed a hands-on cooking class by Bina, a Cesarine in nearby Gambassi Terme, another charming Tuscan village with very little crowd pressure. Thanks, Rita, for a wonderful stay.

Tuscany Getaway
This property is more special than the description. Rita is an amazing host. She met us at a local grocery store and we followed her to the property. She gave us a thorough overview of the home, wineries, restaurants, & hilltop towns. And even left us a delicious loaf of homemade bread. The property itself has a warm welcoming feel with beautiful garden areas to relax in the front overlooking vineyards or the back for a more secluded feel. We loved our time there so much that we decided to spend a whole day lounging at the beautiful pool. It was perfection!

Picturesque Tuscany
The property is absolutely stunning. Beautiful views of the vineyards and farmhouse like stone buildings. It’s a great location between Florence and Sienna and 10 minutes to San Gimignano. The pool is beautiful and much needed after a day of sightseeing in the Italian sun. The place is well equipped with everything you need and very clean. There were quite a few mosquitos so pack some repellant. A great stay and definitely recommend booking!

A great spot in a vineyard!
We really enjoyed our stay at this 2-bedroom spot in a vineyard near San Gimignano. Our host, Rita, was lovely and accommodating. She met us to drive to the property, had flowers, a bottle of wine and freshly baked bread for us. The view from the outdoor terrace over the vineyard was lovely, and the hedges and plantings made it very private. A great spot for day trips in the country side!

Great stay! Fun and relaxing
We had a great time at La Roccaia. Upon arrival Rita welcomed us with a lovely home made bread and tasteful biological red wine together with a list of suggestions and tips on where to go both to visit and of course EAT! The complex has an amazing swimming pool for the days you feel lazy and would like to just relax under the sun in the middle of the Tuscany hills. We took a lot advantage of that and had as well a very relaxing day. Overall we had an amazing time and honest to say that at the end of our staying we wished to have book for longer ahah. Rita has been a great host and the apartment was beautiful offering everything we needed... From utilities us to a strategic location to go around and get groceries Highly suggested!!!!

Amazing Property
This place is great. The views and the grounds are to die for. Rita is amazing. She was very responsive to our messages and very helpful! She has everything, in her place, you need. She had a bunch of things for the kids to do too. The second bedroom was great for our 2 girls and our son loved sleeping on the pull out sofa in the living room. I didn’t realize there was no air conditioning and Rita got us more fans for the bedrooms. The mosquitos were very bad though. We couldn’t keep the main doors open because there aren’t any nets on those. There are nets on the bedroom doors. We tried burning the mosquito repellent too. We loved having the washing machine and the pool! The dryer didn’t work and the clothes ended up smelling like smoke from the mosquito repellent. I completely recommend staying here.

The location is great too… 10 minutes from San Gimignano, minutes away also from the best wineries in the world, 40 minutes away from Volterra and Siena. Just everything is amazing.

Tuscany / San Gimignano Paradise
This property was everything as advertised and more. A beautiful setting and view. Because the property is not easy to find, the owner arranged to meet us close by and we followed them to the location. There were also extra items left for us to use (i.e., coffee, condiments, etc.) that we usually don't get when using a VRBO property. This property is located within 15 to 30 minutes of nearby beautiful towns and vineyards. We did not get a chance to use the in-ground pool because we were there in October and it was closed, but I would imagine it would be great for those visiting in the Summer.

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt in der Toskana an Ostern
Liebe Rita, nach einem herzlichen Empfang hatten wir schöne Tage in einer großen, sauberen und für uns optimalen Wohnung. Mit leckerem, selbstgebackenem Brot und Wein wurden wir begrüßt. Die Kinder haben sich sehr über die Osterüberraschung gefreut und ich über die Blumen. Die Ausflugstipps waren sehr hilfreich. Wir konnten an einem Regentag die Wohnung sehr gut heizen und die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, um für alle zu kochen. Unsere 15jährige Tochter hat sich über das perfekte WLAN sehr gefreut. Unser 9 jähriger Sohn hat sich oft und gerne im großzügigen, frei zugänglichen Außenbereich aufgehalten. Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine, Fön - alle Elektrogeräte haben sehr gut funktioniert. Schlafzimmer waren ruhig gelegen und konnten durch eine Zwischentür vom Wohnbereich abgetrennt werden. Auch das Badezimmer war angenehm und gut zu heizen. Unser größeres Auto konnten wir sicher abstellen. Die Wohnung liegt günstig - wir haben San Gimignano, Volterra und Siena mit dem Auto besichtigt. Florenz lässt sich gut mit dem Zug erreichen. Thermalbäder sind in der Nähe - dort haben wir bei schlechtem Wetter schöne Tage verbracht. Supermärkte, Apotheke und Einzelhandel sind in kurzer Distanz vorhanden. Wir möchten gerne wieder kommen - es war für uns ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt - auch wenn das Wetter etwas launisch war. Vielen Dank für alles.

Beste Lage in der Toskana
Sehr sehr schöne Anlage, welche wohl mal ein Weingut war, was auch die Lage inmitten der Weinberge und Olivenheine erklärt. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht ist hier genau richtig. Wir waren die einzigen Deutschen dort was den Italienischen Charme sehr anhob. Alle Nachbarn waren sehr sehr nett und wir haben uns integriert gefühlt. Die Lage allgemein ist gigantisch, 30 min. nach Sienna, 50 min. nach Florenz, 15 min. nach San Gimignano, 20 min. nach Volterra .... also mitten drin statt nur dabei. Der Pool ist riesig und jedes Appartment hat seinen Bereich und seine Liegestühle inkl. Sonnenschirm, die meiste Zeit waren wir aber alleine dort. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es normaler Distanz ca. 5min. mit dem Auto, zum ausladen kann man direkt ans Appartment ran fahren. Die Vermieterin Rita ist Tag und Nacht erreichbar, und hilft wo es nur geht. Also das rund rum Wohlfühlpaket. Wir waren begeistert und kommen gerne wieder. Leider gibt es nur fünf Sterne zu vergebn. PS wer Haligali sucht ist hier falsch Diskoteken oder Bars habe ich nicht gesehen aber auch nicht vermisst.

Die großzügige Ferienwohnung ist nur 10 km von San Gimignano entfernt. Der nächste Ort ist Certaldo, wo es gute Restaurants gibt. Rita hat sich vor, während und nach unserem Aufenthalt bestens um uns gekümmert. Sie ist immer ansprechbar und bemüht eine Lösung zu finden. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet und bestens geeignet für ein paar entspannte Tage. Die durchaus vorhandenen Mosquitos konnten wir mit den bekannten chemischen Mitteln von uns abhalten.

RoccaiaCasa'70 - Apartment Rita Vignani
Die Kontaktaufnahme mit Rita war super. Rita hat immer sehr kurzfristig geantwortet, per WhatsApp oder Email. In der Übersicht nicht sichtbar war die tatsächliche Anzahl der Apartments, derer es insgesamt 15 gab. Ein ca. 200m langer "Dirttrack" führt zu der Location, leider mit vielen Schlaglöchern - also vorsichtig fahren! Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es max. in ca. 5-7km Entfernung (PAM in Poggibonsi, oder COOP.fi in Certaldo). Mit dem Auto oder Vespa schnell erreichbar. Das Grundstück ist traumhaft gelegen, direkt an den Weinanbaugebieten. Trekker machen Lärm, aber der ist erträglich. Leider war unsere Toilettenspülung defekt, so dass wir alle 1-2 Minuten einen Trompetenartigen Sound vernahmen. Sehr störend, aber Rita tat sofort alles, um das zu ändern, so dass ein Klempner zweimal vor Ort kam. Leider erst nach Austausch wurde dann dieses sehr störende Geräusch entfernt. Einrichtung und Utensilien waren supi. Der Pool groß (ca. 25m Länge) und bat die einzige Abkühlung, da das Apartment nicht über eine Klimaanlage verfügte. Die der Nachbarn über dem Apartment schon, wie wir spät Nachts erfuhren. Das störte, wenn man sich Abends vor dem Apartment mit einem Glas Wein unterhalten oder schlafen wollte. Die Übermacht der Mosquitos war wohl zu erwarten, hatte aber ebenfalls einen deutlichen Einfluss auf den Genuss des Aufenthalts. Bei der Anreise Ende Juni 2022 war es 40 Grad, danach schwankten die Temperaturen bis ca. 36 Grad runter. Sehr heiß, auch im Apartment. Dank der Mosquitonetze in den Schlafräumen und Ventilatoren konnte man es aushalten. Auch Nachts gingen die Temperaturen bis zu 16 Grad herunter. Den Pool mussten wir in Schichten besuchen, da wir von einer Nachbarin sehr bestimmt darauf hingewiesen wurde, dass Hunde am Pool nichts zu suchen hätten. Das hat uns sehr betrübt, da wir gerade das Objekt wegen des Pools und Tierfreundlichkeit auswählten. Das war sehr sehr schade, aber damit mussten wir uns abfinden. Insgesamt war Rita unschlagbar. Sie begrüßte uns mit Geschenken, wir selbstgebackenes Brot, Wein usw. Das war toll! Und hat sehr lecker geschmeckt!!! Nochmal würden wir nicht kommen, aber das liegt wahrscheinlich auch daran, dass es einfach zu heiß und abgelegen war. Mit einem Teenager im Handgepäck schwierig, denn fußläufig ist von dort nichts wirklich erreichbar. Tipp: in Olignano gibt es eine kleine Bar, in der tatsächlich Flaschenbier und Eis gekauft werden kann. Links und recht daneben gibt es morgens wohl auch Brot zu kaufen
