Many of our Villa Spotlight articles have focused on the big and beautiful villas in our collection, fit more for large groups or events. Today we are focusing on a small, lovely and affordable villa that is a perfect fit for a couple traveling through Tuscany. Poggetto di Montese is just outside of San Gimignano, in fact from the gardens you can see the towers that helped make the city so famous!
Poggetto di Montese, like some of our other villas, is surrounded by expansive olive groves and vineyards.
The grounds around the house have a gorgeous and well kept garden that provides a pleasant place to spend your evenings, sitting on the patio under the pergola sipping wine. The house itself is a typical country house made of stone, and restored for modern luxuries.

"The location is wonderful, centrally located for Sienna, Florence, the Chianti region, etc, and only minutes away from San Gimignano. The view from the property's garden of the latter and the surrounding countryside is unbeatable. The family who own it are friendly (even their dog) and give their guests as much privacy as needed."
-Jon from Quebec
Poggetto di Montese has one bedroom with a bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and dining room, separate lounge and a lovely outdoor area. The owner and his family live next door on the property, and do their best to be friendly and helpful without intruding on your privacy.
On the rare occasion that there are problems with a rental, tracking down an owner that lives several towns away or further can be problematic. Having the owner so close can be very handy for restaurant recommendations or little local secrets the majority of tourists may not be aware of.

"My grandson and I had a wonderful time at the villa.We want to return to Italy. Wonderful family and tremendously helpful. We were offered fresh vegetables from their family garden and it was really good. I can't say enough of this wonderful proprietor and his family. I would certainly recommend this villa for a very relaxed family atmosphere. Just what we were looking for,and the location is really nice. We spent the evenings on the lawn overlooking San Gimignano. JUST BREATH TAKING!!!! Thanks Again for your service"
-Patricia from Texas
"Highly Recommended! Very clean apartment attached to owner's home with amazing views of San Gimignano's towers. The garden was lovely, the location excellent, and the owners were very nice and we never even noticed that their home was attached to our area. We were on our honeymoon and LOVED our stay there!"
