About this apartment rental
The ' Borgo'- off the old Roman ' Via Volterrana 'has been rebuilt from ruins. Italian heritage laws are very strict and the whole village has been reconstructed on the same footprint as the original. Now we have a wonderful place for visitors to come and enjoy the Tuscan countryside within easy reach of all that Tuscany has to share with the world. 'Casa Bartoli' is part of what was a large farm building and is now a modern spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. The bathrooms are beautifully tiled in travertine marble.Terracotta tiled floors and ceilings with huge wooden beams supporting the roof are typical of the area. The main bedroom has a double bed and the second -which is a larger room-has two single beds which can be used as a double bed...both bathrooms have no baths-but showers are excellent with plenty of hot water supplied from the solar( supplemented by gas) system. All kitchen utensils and appliances are new- dishwasher,2 small fridges (one with freezer), gas stove and oven.A small fully automatic washing machine is also provided.The dining area inside seats 6 people comfortably-or dine outside at the 'al fresco' table under the trees... The swimming pool and spa are just wonderful for a dip after a hot days touring. Here you are central to all that Tuscany has to offer.There are many good restaurants nearby- just up the road- the nearest is"' Osteria Il Castagno" a nice little restaurant about a 5 minute drive away. For grocery shopping if you prefer to dine under the trees at home- there is the big PAM supermarket in Poggibonsi, the COOPs in San Gimignano, Montaione and Certaldo or the smaller minimarket in Gambassi Terme. A day trip to Florence ( or Siena )is easy by train from the station in Certaldo,avoiding the driving and parking problems associated with each city. The Chianti Classico wine region can be reached within an hours drive. The ' Borgo ', down a quiet road in the countryside between San Gimignano,Gambassi Terme and Volterra provides "away from it all" tranquility. Please come and enjoy the wonders of the Tuscan countryside from a very central location...

I'm not sure we all--we were two couples--had an exact sense of the complex, though the nature of it is definitely implied by the long Vrbo description: a restored, historic borough (mentioned, we learned, in some document, perhaps a map, at the Vatican) and on an unpaved road, which is always in need of grading, that was once a "salt road"--a renovated series of stone and brick buildings consisting of apartments with an international ownership. It's very secluded, with lovely views of the countryside, and quiet. There's a nice swimming pool close by. You can unload and load your car at the property; otherwise, you park in a lot a short distance away. The accommodation itself is self-catering, of course, with whatever provisions are there (including toilet paper) depending on the generosity of the preceding occupants. There are two types of coffee makers in addition to a kettle. I mention these items as they were the most immediately essential to me. As I said, we were four adults (late 60s-early 70s)--the apartment was perfectly adequate for our week-long stay; it was comfortably furnished. Gordon was very helpful beforehand, promptly answering questions about provisions and recommending grocery stores and a nearby restaurant for our first night's dinner. He also graciously put us in touch with another owner whose time there was coinciding with ours. Really, I don't know how things could have been better.

A pleasant, quiet place to relax. Only the poor road was a bit annoying.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and loved it. We loved the pool and being able to cook in the kitchen which was well stocked.It was the perfect home base for us - we felt like locals for two weeks. It was easy to travel to Cinque Terre and Florence from the villa. Check in process was smooth - Gordon gave us great directions and we were able to find the place easily. If you want a beautiful home away from home in Tuscany, away from all the hustle and bustle this is your spot!
