Just what you imagine Tuscany will be like
We had originally booked Apartment 5 for June 2020 and ended up postponing our trip by two years due to the pandemic. One thing I was sure to re-book was this apartment. The pictures and description were incredible, and the reality did not disappoint. The 13th Century building has been impeccably renovated and its has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view of the Tuscan countryside and San Gimignano is amazing. It's the classic Tuscan view that every tourist wants, The pool is ideal. Very large and beautifully situated with the view of San G. And the location is perfect for day trips around Tuscany.
The property managers were very responsive to all of our questions both before and during our stay. And the check-in and check-out process were smooth and uncomplicated.
Our two observations in the spirit of full disclosure (neither of which are terribly serious) ...
The first is that Apartment 5 is one of the apartments that does not have an outdoor area immediately outside the apartment. There IS a sitting area below and around the side of the building from the apartment, but if you're looking to step outside the apartment and sit down with a view of Tuscany with a glass of wine or cup of coffee, this is not the apartment for you. Other apartments, however, DO offer an outside area immediately outside the apartment if this is important to you.
The second observation is that the pillows on the beds in the apartment are incredibly firm. They seem to be some sort of foam, but they are the firmest we have ever experienced and (to be frank) were rather uncomfortable. Everyone's definition of a "comfortable pillow" is different, of course. And I'm sure there are guests who find them perfect for their needs. One suggestion I would offer to the owners/managers of the apartment is to consider providing a few less firm pillows that guests might use if they find the primary pillows too firm.
Neither of these observations is intended as a criticism or to deter anyone from staying in Apartment 5. We were looking for a relaxing Tuscan experience in an updated, but historic apartment in an ideal location ... and this apartment delivered on all counts. We would highly recommend it.
