We just spent a week at Podere Le Rondini, and everything about our stay was outstanding. Since we had already spent quite a bit of time in Florence, Montespertoli was a perfect base for visiting the wine country and the other beautiful Tuscan cities. Paulo prepared a beautiful dinner for us with only a few hours notice, and dining with the family was a special treat. I can't say enough about the kindness and special treatment that Nicola gives his guests. He even paid our parking fine that we received in San Gimignano so that our vacation would not be spent having to try to figure that out. Each day he gave us suggestions of where to park and ran off Google maps for us. This is a beautiful place to visit with breathtaking views. I viewed all the apartments while I was there, and there seems to be something for everyone. We took one with a kitchen so we would have the convenience of making meals ourselves. The market is very convenient, there is a great little Patisserie and great gelato all in the town of Montespertoli. Hope you enjoy Italy as much as we did!

We spent ten days with our friends at Podere Le Rondini at the end of August and beginning of September. We really enjoyed our stay there thanks to the hospitality of Nicola and his family. It is a lovely place with a wonderful surrounding, close to the principal Tuscans monuments. The apartments are very good and useful furnished in a luxurious way. We would recommended it to everyone, who likes Tuscany.

we enjoyed a week at le Rondini in early June, with a large group. The accommodations were perfect, the ambience - story book. Nicola and his parents, Paola and Mario are warm gracious hosts and extremely helpful. Our prepared meals were grand and the grounds so lovely.

the whole area is wonderful and these special new friends fill us with warmth.

Highly recommend Podere le Rondini!!

We are just back from three weeks vacations at Podere le Rondini. That was absolutely fantastic.

Need to admit, I was a bit nervous booking three weeks in a place I did not know, over the internet, but Nicola has been very responsive to all my email requests to provide additional photos and information.

Podere le Rondi is ideally situated approx 30km south of Firenze, and in max 1h drive you can be at San Giminiano, Siena, Volterra, Certaldo, Lucca, Pisa, etc .. and you won't be surrounded by dozen of noisy tourists.

They have apartments / rooms in to building, that allow for some privacy, but also for kids to get together and socialize. The pool is ideally located surrounded by olive trees, great view on the Tuscany hills.

In addition to this, we have been hosted by Paolo, Nicola and Mario in the best ever experiences way, not to omit Thor and Ben. We had twice great tuscan dinner at their place in the Podere ... Paola and Mario cooked great pasta, bisteca (Fiorentina ;-), panzanella, etc. we even got some cooking tricks. I hope they produce some more of this arancello !

We went their for vacations and we lived three weeks there, either laying around by the pool, or visit some of the great cities and places around. I would definitely recommend Podere Le Rondini to my closest friends ... and I would join them !
