Guestbook - Podere San Luigi

Hopeful Return

When God created the Valley of Elsa he must have intended to give us a glimpse into what Heaven must look like. Mere words can not describe the elegant beauty of the surrounding countryside of Podere San Luigi. It's a place and people that you must see with your own eyes.

There is no Better

Our recent stay at Podere San Luigi was superb for so many reasons, The location provides vacationers breathtaking vistas and comfortable Tuscan accommodations, The most important element are the most caring, helpful and knowledgeable home owners. Mario, Annalinda and Valentina make Podere San Luigi exceptional. The home, apartments and grounds are kept immaculate. The location in the countryside of Tuscany is a gem and shouldn't be a secret. It is convenient for visiting the medieval hilltop cities of San Gimignano, Volterra and Sienna. Florence and Chianti are less than an hour away. It was easy to develop an emotional attachment and we plan on a return.

Just like heaven!

Our stay at Podere San Luigi was "just like heaven". Mario and his family were the perfect hosts. They were so warm and welcoming, that they made us feel like home in a foreign country. We were booked in Tramonto apartment, that was spacious and cozy, with a great view over the Tuscan valleys. The scented rose garden and the towering cypresses that guarded the pool were absolutely breathtaking. Podere San Luigi is a magical place that our hearts fell in love with! Thank you for receiving us in your corner of paradise and for making our holiday a special one!

A beautiful place, with charming hosts

We spent a week of our Italian odyssey at Mario and Annalinda's earthly paradise, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills, perfectly located between Siena and Florence (or more closely, between Certaldo and San Gimignano). While much of our time was spent touring, we set aside the better part of two days to just relax by the beautiful swimming pool and in our extremely spacious and perfectly furnished apartment on the first (Canadian second) floor of this lovingly converted farmhouse. Our hosts were hospitable, warm and friendly, and even prepared a scrumptious dinner for their guests one evening. It was what we had expected, and much, much more.

A lovely holiday

We have had a lovely holiday at a wonderful location. Mario & Annalinda are really brilliant hosts and the house is beautiful. We are sorry not to be staying another week!!! We LOVE both the cat & kitten. Although the kitten is a girl, she is now called Mammish :-) We are so relaxed here, we don't want to go home! Love from Clementine, Caryll & Phil
