Le Fonti A San Giorgio

I stayed at Le Fonti a San Giorgio for five nights in late August with my husband, our 5 year old, and my parents. We had the "Tuscany Premium Apartment" with three bedrooms, which was lovely and spacious for our family. The best things about staying here were the amazing, gorgeous views and scenery from our windows, the terrace, the pools, and the restaurant, and the delicious nightly dinners at the on-site restaurant! The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star stay for us was an issue with AC in our apartment, but the management is hopefully addressing that, and overall we absolutely loved our stay and would gladly return! The location and setting of the agriturismo are wonderful - it's quiet and peaceful and secluded on a hilltop at the end of small dirt road with amazing views of unspoiled vineyards and olive groves and hills in all directions. And at the same time, it's less than a hour from Florence, 30 min from San Gimignano and many wineries, and within 1-2 hours of sights like Siena, Pisa, Lucca (just add 10-15 min to all the travel times that your map program gives you to account for the twisty hill roads!). The 2km dirt road is a bit of an adventure (my husband described one section as "moguls") but it was perfectly passable in an average sedan rental car and so worth it for the location at the end! With respect to the apartment itself, we particularly liked the spacious rooms, the comfortable patio (have mosquito repellent for the evenings!), and the good-sized bathrooms attached to each bedroom (a small issue with a shower not draining well was fixed immediately after we let the front desk know). The beds were on the harder side, but not too uncomfortable for any of us. The kitchen was also very small and rather dark - this was for us as the dining table is out in the nice living room and we were really just using the kitchen for the fridge and some of the dishes and utensils on occasion for snacks or drinks, but it might not be ideal for a family that's hoping to cook regular meals. It's also worth noting that the windows do *not* have screens, so you need to rely on the AC units for cooling if you want to avoid getting bitten by mosquitos inside at night (management suggested using mosquito coils, but my daughter and husband get bitten badly and my experience is that coils are not very effective, so we did not do that). The pools on this property are lovely and clean with loungers and umbrellas and great views over the countryside, and we enjoyed cooling off in them on several evenings. The pool up by the main restaurant and "inn" is particularly lovely and picturesque! It's supposed to be for guests staying in the inn rooms while the lower pool (which is a bit more plain) is supposed to be for guests staying in apartments, but neither pool was crowded during our stay and no one seemed to mind when we went up to the inn pool one evening. The restaurant was one of the real highlights of our stay here! They serve an a la

Beautiful area and house! Hard to get to! Very clean and spacious, and beautiful view outside room. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans to do your own cooking if you wish. Also had a restaurant nearby. Had an outside washer you could utilize if you could figure out how to use it, but no dryer. The only thing that I would see as a negative though, was that the 2-4 km of road to get there was horrible.
