We had our children and granddaughters join us for a week at Villa Sarah to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful. The villa is lovely and the view can not be beat. The pool and outdoor dining kitchen were a couple of our favorite gathering areas. They arrange to have a chef come in three nights and that was delicious and super convenient. On the nights that we did go out to dinner Caterina arranged a driver for us on those evenings. The villa was stocked with all the basics to get us started and a huge Tuscan meat and cheese platters to celebrate our arrival. It was a week that none of us will forget! ##### Meg L.

My family of 5 celebrated my 60th birthday at the Villa Sarah. You can’t ask for more picturesque views. Hard to believe you are looking at a real landscape and not a painting of a perfect Tuscan landscape. No noisy neighbors nearby or obstructed views, just the pure magic of the San Gimignano village, vineyards and rolling hills. The Tuscan cooking class in the outdoor kitchen was a highlight. It was a hugely bonding experience for our family. Even those who don’t like to cook, loved it, and the chefs made it all so easy and fun. Gabriele and Caterina were so responsive to all our needs, making dinner reservations, wine tasting and arranging a car to take us to the Cinque Terre. Beautiful memories for all of us. ##### Donna S.

Owners, Gabriel and Lucia, and concierge, Caterina were all very helpful and responsive prior to and during our stay. The location of Villa Sarah is just a short drive or long walk up to the village of San Gimignano. Siena, Florence, Montepulciano, Lucca, Pisa, Volterra are within an hour drive making it the perfect location for day trips. The highlights each week were our cooking classes and chef prepared meals in the wonderful outdoor kitchen area. Chefs, Sergio and Priscilla and helpers, Francesca and Senna were wonderful. Dining al fresco every evening while watching the sunset over the Tuscan countryside was priceless. We took full advantage of the beautiful pool and jacuzzi. Villa Sarah was the perfect place for us to share our love of Tuscany with family and friends. We look forward to returning. ##### Dan P.

The 5 bedrooms all had king sized very comfortable beds and private bathrooms, perfect for 5 couples traveling together. Our great experience started way in advance of our visit as Catarina helped us plan all the details of our trip from a private chef, wine tastings, area restaurants, an on-site cooking class and private transportation back to Florence. Everything happened just as planned with no issues whatsoever. As wonderful as the villa was, the grounds and views were even better. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our cooking class and, a little too cool for swimming, the pool was stunning. Even more stunning was the view of the country side and San gimignano. It was like stepping out into a fairy tale every morning. We will go back as soon as we can! ##### Louisa A. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa S. Mar 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property with spectacular views We had a group of eight adults and were very comfortable. The large living dining area and outside cabana with full kitchen gives plenty of options. The location is 5 minutes by car to the charming city of San Gimignano. The views of the city and the Tuscan countryside are amazing. The owners had an amazing buffet of Italian meats, cheeses and breads set out upon arrival and a packet of useful information for the surrounding area. They arranged a chef to prepare a dinner one night and a cooking class on another. We had the best time and the food was wonderful. We arranged some side trips to wineries and the Parma region with the Villa's driver, Sonia. She was a wonderful driver and so helpful. Unfortunately, the pool was not open during our stay, but overall, our stay at Villa Sarah was a truly wonderful experience. We would highly recommend staying at this lovely villa. ##### Lisa S.

Even after seven blissful days, we still couldn’t believe we had the privilege of staying here. The views from the house of the rolling Tuscan hills and enchanting San Gimignano in the distance is a sight we will all treasure forever. The house is so thoughtfully designed and furnished by the owner, Gabriele. You really feel at home, but with every luxury, including five whimsical bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, stunning views around every corner, outdoor showers, the most GORGEOUS outdoor kitchen and farmhouse table, ping pong, foosball, washer/dryer. We slept most nights with the window open to the fresh air and peaceful bird sounds. My only regret is not booking this place for longer than a week, but we will be back. We spent plenty of time in the comfort of this insane property, but also enjoyed day trips to Florence, Montepulciano, Pisa, and Certaldo. San Gimignano is a short car ride from the house (the ride also provides some incredible landscapes). BOOK VILLA SARAH! We are forever changed by this incredible experience!! ##### Maria K.

Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Celebration We had an incredible time at Villa Sarah. As amazing as the photos are, they do not do justice to the beauty of the villa and the surrounding countryside. The view from the pool is unlike anything else you will experience and is alone worth the price of the villa. We rented the villa for 7 nights with 10 adults and 2 children, which were easily accommodated. Gabriel, Caterina, and team were incredibly responsive and easy to work with and they were able to recommend a number of activities and experiences for our group. The highlight of the trip by far was the cooking class in the outdoor kitchen - highly recommended! Gabriel and Caterina were also able to arrange for a professional photographer to come and capture the cooking class. As others have mentioned, the welcome spread is certainly enough food to tide your group over for the day of arrival. There are plenty of grocery stores a short drive away that can provide you with anything else you need. There are also countless hill towns, restaurants, and vineyards in the surrounding area that Gabriel and his team can recommend. Thank you to Gabriel, Caterina, and team for creating a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for our family. ##### James M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bill Y. Oct 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### One week The villa was in good condition. The Tuscan countryside is beautiful and you can see the towers of San Gimignano on the hillside. The website discusses walking to San Gimignano. That is a reality if you are in your 20’s and in great shape. It is all UPHILL and a long way away. It may be an estimated 2 KM but that is as the crow flys. NOT WALKABLE. Transport is a BIG issue. RENT A CAR!!!!! It will cost €120 for roundtrip transportation to San Gimignano which is about a 6 minute car ride. There are also limited choices for drivers. BOOK EARLY and rent a car!!!! The POOL is lovely and inviting but NOT HEATED. It was very cold and Almost unusable. The chef for dinner did a great job. Best ribs we have ever had. You are NOT allowed to being in your own chef so don’t research anything else. ##### Bill Y. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jarrett K.

We rented the property for a 5 day stay with 4 adults and 2 kids for my 50th birthday celebration. The hosts went out of their way to communicate with us all along the way - from the initial booking 9 months ahead of the trip right up to arrival. The villa itself has been beautifully renovated including amazing outdoor space (pool, elaborate outdoor kitchen and game area) overlooking a breathtaking view of iconic vines and the ancient walled village of San Gimignano. The 5 bedrooms are all similar in size and each feature their own en suite bathroom. There are two bedrooms down and 3 up stairs - all similarly sized and appointed. The outdoor space is a welcome addition as the combined kitchen and small living area are on the only "common" areas inside the house itself... opening the wonderful double doors at the entry to access the outdoor space creates an expansive overflow area connecting in and out beautifully. The hosts connected us with their chef partners who we engaged (additional cost) to come in and prepare meals for us on two nights - they know the space well and used both indoor and outdoor kitchens to prepare authentic Italian dining for our group. We had a designated point of contact for any questions or issues while at the villa and given that we were the first visitors of the season, we did encounter a few issues all of which were resolved. Villa Sarah is an unforgettable experience! ##### Jarrett K.
