Amazing Property and Hosts!
This is my first time staying in Italy and San Gimignano. The listing of the property is accurate and everything was very clean and well maintained. The hosts Gabriel,, and rest of the team are exceptional with quick responses and clear communication. Our party had four adults and three children (ages 4-7)and this villa was perfect and safe to accommodate the young ones. We came in early August and it was hot, but the AC is great for American standards. The Villa is private but accessible to groceries, wineries, and shopping as we rented a car (highly recommended). The Villa owners are also able to coordinate private chefs which we partook in (also recommended) as we didn’t need to leave the area and no clean up necessary. The adults were able to go to a spa within 15 minutes to get massages. Within Villa Iris there was many amenities for the kids such as the large pool which we partook in basically everyday, table tennis, foose ball, and bocceball. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location and hosts. I would definitely recommend Villa Iris and come back in the future.

My husband and I spent 2 weeks at Villa Iris with our adult children and their spouses. The villa location is ideal and the views are even better in person, just breathtaking. The outdoor space is where we most of our living, and the pool is exceptional. Centrally located to Florence, Siena, Lucca and such easy access to San Gimignano for dinner, we all agreed it was ideal location. The chef services made us feel like royalty! If we can be back, we will!

A wonderful Tuscan retreat!
This villa does not disappoint! We had a family of twelve including eight adults, three children, and one baby. It was the perfect space for our family. Each bedroom was equipped with its very own bathroom. We were all very comfortable in our space. We would take day trips to different cities and retreat to our villa in the evening time. We would either cook dinner ourselves or have the private chef cook wonderful meals for us. Watching the sunset at the villa was incredible. One of our favorite things to do was play bocce ball on the court! So fun! We would come back in a heart beat. The hosts were also very responsive to our needs.

Great villa and property that was fantastic for our group of 12, including 6 children between ages 5 and 11. So much for them to do with the open spaces, various games, pool, etc.
I’ve stayed in Italy with my family three times now and I think this was the best villa and location for driving to many of the great Tuscan cities.

Beautiful
Group of 6 couples exploring Tuscany. We loved the Villa. It is large, comfortable, well equipped and it has a spectacular view of San Gimignano and Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed an on-site cooking class and an on-site Chef’s dinner.
We did not have a car for the first 3 days and that was a struggle. We walked to San Gimignano, and it’s a difficult journey. Our group is physically fit, and everyone found it very challenging - up a steep grade for about 45 minutes.
The farm next door (10 min walk) is fantastic for a wine tour/tasting and dining. It was a highlight for us.
Our group loved the bocce court, the large dining tables, and the outdoor covered terrace.
We highly recommend a stay at Villa Iris.

Great Place for Family Reunion
The property was exactly as described. We had 11 adults and an infant with us for a week long family reunion. Caterina was excellent to work with and made all the arrangements for us — chef dinners, cooking classes, wine tours, local dinner reservations, tours, and airport transfers. She was great to work with and very responsive. There were plenty of areas to relax and the outdoor dining area was perfect for our group. It is too far to walk into San Gimignano but we were able to walk to the local winery for our farewell dinner — which was very nice. It is a beautiful villa and completely met our expectations. The only negative was that the pool was too cold for most of us to swim despite temperatures in the low 80’s during the day. At night the temperatures were cool. The chef prepared dinners were excellent. Thanks for a fun time at Villa Iris where we made many new family memories.

A Tuscan Paradise
We heartily agree with all positive comments in the previous reviews! Examples include: The chef's dinners at the villa are delicious and very fun; the villa itself is fantastic, and Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele are delightful to deal with; lunches and dinners at Fattoria Poggio Alloro are excellent; using the villa for short day trips and cooling off in the pool after, made for perfect vacation memories; the nearby Pam supermarket in Poggibonsi is very convenient; the villa's air conditioning works perfectly, even in 90+ temperatures; the Wifi reaches all parts of the property, including the pool area.
Regarding driving in Tuscany: We were uncertain if we'd be able to drive independently with our rental car (knowing from past experience how fast and aggressive the drivers are in Sicily, Rome and Naples). We guessed we'd travel by train instead, but driving proved to be quite easy. The roads are clearly marked and the local drivers, although a little fast, are not a problem. It's really important to download an offline map in Google Maps before you leave home (there are videos in YouTube explaining how to do this). With an offline map downloaded to your phone, you can get driving directions without an internet connection.
On a typical day we explored the area, had a nice lunch, and returned home to cool off in the pool and play bocce. We thank Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele for an amazing vacation, one of our favorites ever. We highly recommend this villa!

What an amazing visit. 12 of us descended upon Villa Iris and we all left beaming with light. This place is special and while I'm sure there are other lovely Villas in the area, you cannot go wrong here. Gabrielle and Caterina were amazing at making sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly responsive. Shower snobs will LOVE the water pressure, which was a pleasant surprise. Hanging out by the pool and bocce court was a regular night time routine and we grilled 2x on the outdoor grill, which was spectacular. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great group getaway.

Spectacular Villa Iris
What a special place this was. We had 9 guests in our group, all family members, and everyone just loved the place. The owners prepared a fantastic dinner for us on the day of our arrival and it was much appreciated as we had all traveled the entire day. We used the pool daily due to the warm temperatures and it was a great place to relax after a day of touring. The large outside table was also special, as it was our go to place for meals, cards and late night discussions. The location of the Villa makes it easy to travel for day trips in the surrounding area. Thank you for all your hospitality and we will definitely consider returning in the future.

Beautiful stay with amazing hosts
Caterina, Lucia and Gabriel are truly wonderful hosts. From before I even booked our stay, Caterina answered every question our group had. She helped to ensure we had all of the information we needed to have a wonderful trip, and helped us arrange tours to other towns, chef prepared wine dinners at the villa that were exceptional and winery tours and tasting lunches that were informative and delicious. Caterina and Lucia provided a thorough check in at the Villa, showing us everything we needed to know during our stay at Villa Iris, and we’re available for any questions or concerns we had throughout the week. The response was almost immediate every time and they couldn’t do enough to make sure we were enjoying every moment of our trip.
I have wanted to bring my parents to Italy since I visited my first time back in college, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. From the grounds and pool, to the incredible kitchen and dining room where we were able to share some beautiful meals together as a family, to the bedrooms — Villa Iris is a truly special place and we will be sure to tell all of our family and friends about it (we already have)!
We also wanted to mention how lovely Sonia was as our driver. She is a very safe driver, and knowledgeable of the areas. She helped us get the most out of each experience and was extremely patient and easy going on every trip.
We had an amazing family vacation and that’s due in large part to our stay at Villa Iris. We’re already planning our next trip back!

A Magical Week In Tuscany
Due to Covid, we had to delay our trip by one year. Gabriel, the owner, and Caterina, the property coordinator were very accommodating in helping us choose dates for our 2022 visit. By delaying by one year, we had two couples celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary which made the trip even more special. We were a group of 10, five couples, four from California and one from Missouri. The property was perfect for entertaining, especially with the pool and bocce ball court. There was some heavy competition among the Lake La Quinta International Bocce Ball Team. Having six en-suite rooms was perfect for our private time. We enjoyed a chef’s dinner one evening. The food, the service and the ambiance was outstanding. We also used the van service which was coordinated thru the property coordinator. Sonia, was truly phenomenal. She was able to take us on several sightseeing and wine tasting trips which added so much to our experience. On our final evening, we had dinner at the neighboring Fattoria Poggio Allora. Gabriel, the owner made a call to the owner of the agritourismo and let him know that his special guests from the Villa Iris were coming for dinner. The experience was out of this world and exceeded all expectations. It was truly the best possible ending to a magical week in Tuscany.
Grazie Mille to Gabriel, his lovely wife, and Caterina for making our week so enjoyable and memorable. This is definitely a five star property and experience!

Lovely stay near San Gimignano
We just returned from an amazing week in Tuscany on this beautiful rustic property. We had 14 people (including 2 seniors and 6 children under 10 years old). Everybody loved the house and the outdoor space was the absolute best- our kids had the most amazing time in the pool, playing bocce ball, foosball and ping pong. Despite the pool not being heated, it wasn’t an issue at all, the hot summer days kept the pool warm enough and our kids who are usually sensitive to cold water did not complain at all. Even better was the hospitality of our hosts- Gabriele, Lucia and Caterina were very responsive to our needs and went above and beyond to attend to any questions or issues we had. Gabriele even brought over fresh produce from his uncle’s garden and a brand new folding bed! They were lovely people and you could tell they really cared for the comfort of their guests and wanted the best experience for them. Their location was ideal, just an 8 minute drive to San Gimignano (don’t miss Gelateria Dondoli- they truly have the best gelato!!) and a 2 minute drive to Fattoria Poggio Alloro, which we did a wine tasting one day and had dinner another day (both wonderful experiences, and the view is just beautiful). We did not use their chef services but did cook in many days, which was easy to do in their kitchen (Pam supermarket is 15 mins away and I went there nearly everyday, they have everything there!) Thank you Gabriele, Lucia and Caterina! We hope to return in the future!

Nice house in fantastic location, great garden and pool, interior needs a refresh
The outstanding: Chef Meals prepared at the house (by Baba and Olga at an extra charge) are superb, do not miss them, The Garden and Pool (not heated). Air '
conditioning makeas all the difference in the Summer, loved it. Caterina and Lucia are prompt in theirresponses and take care of all your needs (Thanks).
The good: The villa is spacious and located very well for access to most of the Tuscan attracitons within 1.5 hours tops, it can confortably sleep 6 couples. It has a very nice view of San Gimignano from the pool area (while standing up).
The average: The decoration inside the Villa is old and dated, it lacks a proper living room area to relax as a group, and while bathrooms are addequate, there is no storage space for your bath items, and very little space for clothes in the rooms.
All in all a very god experience, and if the interior is renovated tastefully, it would be a true gem.

Wonderful Tuscan retreat
Our group of 8 looked at numerous villas but this one checked all of the boxes plus offered a 60 day cancellation policy which was necessary during the uncertainty of Covid. Fortunately, our timing worked out perfectly and restrictions were eased when we arrived.
Communication with Caterina (the girl who arranges everything) was excellent. She was very quick to respond and was extremely helpful. During our stay, I could always just text her requests and she would respond instantly.
We quickly realized the walk to San Gimignano was instead a long hike. A few of us did it a few times in the morning but you don't want to be walking the trail into town for dinner. The villa has a driver that can be hired on request. For her to take you into San Gimignano for dinner is 50 euros each way and her van can seat 8 people so we did that a couple of times during our week. For pick up, we just text her 20 minutes prior to when we want to be picked up. We also hired Sonia for a day of wine tasting so she took us to three wineries that she booked for us. She was fantastic.
For our last night, we arranged for a chef to come in and make dinner for our group and it was fantastic and wished we did that twice. We shopped at the PAM Supermarket in Poggibonsi about 10-15 minutes away by car and you can find pretty much everything at reasonable prices.
Note that both the pool and whirlpool are not heated. We stayed from May 7th to May 14th and the first couple of days were cool but it gradually got warmer every day. During our last few days, it because a refreshing plunge pool to cool down when it got too warm in the sun. We really enjoyed playing some bocce while having drinks in the afternoon.
I only noticed a couple of swings in the playground area so anyone coming with children may want to inquire about the playground set up.
The only real issue we had was the dining room table inside. As mentioned our first couple of nights were cool so we could not have dinner outdoors. The tabletop is a gorgeous slab of wood, however the surface is very uneven so we had a difficult time setting the table and trying to balance wine glasses to avoid spilling. Adding a piece of glass or plexiglass over the wood table top would certainly be helpful.
The best part of the villas is the outdoor space so you do want to be there when the weather is nice. Our group had a very memorable week here. Grazie Gabrielle and Caterina!!

Paradise is real!
We had the good fortune to stay at Villa Iris for 10 days. It was a dream come true. The location was perfect and the views from the property were spectacular. We were 7 adults and needed 4 en-suite bathrooms. We had six bedrooms to choose from and each one was perfect. The kitchen was amazing and we gathered each night around the huge dining room table. They provided a chef to cook for us and we even took cooking lessons. The grounds are gorgeous and we often gathered by the pool area just to relax and sit and chat. But most important they were amazingly responsive to anything we needed. When we needed a cab they arranged for us. Any questions were answered immediately. We hope to return in the future! Perfect hosts and perfect location!
