Lovely Apt.

My wife and I spent a week in this great little apt. Very clean and well appointed. Small space but had everything we needed. Renata was a wonderful host and supported us with recommendations in the area. I feel confident recommending. Thank you.

La Rocca Romantica

Io e la mia compagna abbiamo deciso di festeggiare il capodanno a San Gimignano, quindi abbiamo scelto la struttura della signora Renata e del marito Duccio. L'appartamento anche se piccolo è molto confortevole e arredato con molto gusto. Ci siamo trovati molto bene dove c'era di tutto per le nostre esigenze. L'esperienza è stata molto piacevole come la signora Renata molto gentile. Complimenti per tutto. Alessandro

Charming apartment!

We enjoyed our stay in Renata's apartment. It is small, but the bedroom and bath were adequate for a couple. We did not cook there but it appeared to be supplied well. It was nicely decorated and the location was fabulous and quiet. Would definitely recommend!

A taste of yesterday and today

This is a small unit, great for one or two people, fully modern, in a perfect location for exploring everything San Gimignano has to offer. Both the front room and the bedroom have air conditioning, which mad the 32-36 degree stays comfortable. There is a wine tasting for DOCG Vernaccia wines right in town, and in mid-June there is the medieval festival and a market Friday morning a few steps outside the door. As well you can walk nearly all the way around the old castle walls and watch the sunset from part of an old ?watch tower. And did I forget the amazing scenery in every direction?

Excellent all around!!

This small one bedroom flat on a quiet street in San Gimignano is perfect. The decor is very well done. Our hosts were perfect, there when we needed, but left us to ourselves otherwise. Thanks again for the perfect apartment in San Gimignano. California, USA

Right in the middle of it all

Everything was perfect about this apartment. We met Duccio at their shop with no difficulty after taking the bus from Poggibonsi train station. He and his family were very welcoming and wonderful hosts. Renata was always quick to reply to messages. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet her :( The village is beautiful with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The town was crowded with tourists during the day, but the night and early mornings were amazingly quiet. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was plenty big enough. We went to the local grocery store and stocked up on breakfast foods and had everything we needed for the kitchen. This is a beautiful little village that takes you back to an amazing time period. We would love to go back and would stay there in a heartbeat.

A beautiful place to stay...

My daughter and I celebrated our birthdays with a month long trip to Italy. We included San Gimignano in our itinerary, and we found the perfect apartment while there, hosted by Renata.. As hosts, she and her husband were hospitable, friendly, and attentive. The apartment was smaller than we thought it would be but perfectly appointed with attention to detail. We could tell that Renata decorated it with care and good taste. Though there were many many tourists throughout the village, the apartment was not only located in a beautiful, historical part of San Gimignano, but it was also nestled in a quiet building that overlooked the beautiful La Rocco park where a small tower provided sweeping views of the Tuscan countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in San Gimignano and would recommend Renata’s apartment as excellent, lovely accommodations for exploring San Gimignano and the surrounding countryside. I would book this apartment again.

In the heart of San Gimignano

The most enjoyable part of our stay was the central location of La Rocca and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. It is perfect for a couple, with the space available very well utilized. The farmers' market was spectacular, we loved Caffe Giardino, and our little trip to the restaurant Borgatello was fantastic. We would return to this apartment.
