This lovely Italian couple take hospitality to a new high. It is like visiting family. Nothing is too much trouble and you are plied with wine, cookies and passionate embraces! They just want you to be happy! Our little cottage was very quaint - enough cups and saucers to cater for fifty people! Close to everything with a pretty garden... More

During our trip I tried to stay in interesting buildings, like castles, forts and inside town walls. I was advised by a friend to stay with Mauro and Primetta whilst in San Gimignano and could not have chosen better. They really welcomed us and it felt like visiting family. My kids thought they were absolutely adorable. Although they cannot speak... More

Mauro and his wife were very nice to us, they offered us very loving invitation, explanation of where to go for dinner, shopping tec. and welcome drink with bisquits and liquere.

You will not find more genuine people then Mauro and his wonderful wife Primetta. They don't speak very much English but they are still able to communicate everything necessary for your stay in Tuscany. Best places to see, eat, market day (so fun!) and even best short cuts on the roads. They are so loving and kind-we just couldn't get... More

I recently visited Italy with my mother and we received a warm welcome at Primetta House. Mauro and Primetta were great hosts and provided us with ample information on the local and surrounding area. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the welcoming drink and breakfasts were very good also. This place was the highlight of our 10 days in... More

I strongly recommend both San Gemignano as a great place to explore Toscany and Primetta House. First of all, Mauricio and his wife are very nice, open and hospitable people. Our rooms were nice and comfortable, they were cleaned everyday. The city center is very close - about 2 min walking distance which made us feel the spirit of the... More

We really appreciated the genuinely warm and friendly Italian welcome from Mauro and his beautiful wife.The self catering apartment was ideal from which to explore the Tuscan countryside.We really felt at home for our 1 week stay.Thank you Mauro and Primetta for your help and advice and the bottle of Chianti!We had the perfect Tuscan holiday.Roger and Vicki

The spot is perfect, and Primetta and his husband very caring and helpful. A place to stay the only minus will be the room temperature, despite the radiator it was still a bit cold

Rarely will one be welcomed more effusively and genuinely than by Mauro and Primetta, proprietors of Primetta House. That the welcome was in voluble Italian - for us, incomprehensible - made it no less meaningful. Mauro was quick to dispense a welcoming bottle of red wine, and copious directions on various matters which we re-visited later on with their English... More
