Tuscan house in an ancient village near San Gimignano - Il Fienile

Welcome to our Tuscan oasis.

The apartment is a heaven of tranquility that is part of an ancient village recently recovered and surrounded by the greenery of the rich Tuscan countryside. The view of the historic city of Volterra and the landscape is breathtaking.
A few kilometers away are the cities of San Gimignano, Montaione, Gambassi Terme and Certaldo.

In the recent renovation the typical elements of the Tuscan style have been maintained with vaulted ceilings and chestnut beams, brick arches and terracotta floors.

The house is an independent construction and has a large exclusive garden with a wooden pergola and a large table for outdoor dining while enjoying the wonderful panorama.

The interior is equipped with all comforts: air conditioning, free unlimited wifi, washing machine, kitchen with dishwasher, fridge with freezer, hob and oven.

There is also a practical free parking.

Very close to perfect!

Excellent and quick contact with property owner. She was very responsive when I had to make very rapid arrangements (less than 72 hours) after a different VRBO didn't work out. Upon our arrival, Roberto (the property manager - lovely gentleman - very prompt and responsive), helped us to understand the property and it's layout. We felt well-prepared and faced no difficulties during our stay. Roberto speaks Italian and English and we speak mostly English with just enough Italian to be embarrassing to ourselves. People in the area are very good at English, although we found it fun and appropriate to try some Italian phrases as well. The pool at this location is nothing short of stunning! It was popular and well attended amongst the other guests of this agriturismo, yet is so large that it never feels overly-crowded. I cannot stress enough how remarkable this pool area and the corresponding view are. This is remarkable Tuscany! Villa location is central to so many towns that we found this to be an excellent area from which to plan busy days and enjoy quiet and tranquil nights. Coop.fi is the local grocery (Certaldo) and is a lovely place to shop. I found the villa to be well-equipped with the kitchen essentials. I would perhaps add a few sharper chef's knives for those who like to cook. I would note that the showers are compact (cruise-ship size) and that would be the #1 thing that I would alter for any future development. Mobility a must as area is hilly! Thank you!

Incredible Family Vacation

The views and overall setting were absolutely gorgeous! In fact some of the pictures I captured during our vacation were beyond belief, but they were absolutely real. San Gimignano is about a fifteen minute drive away and it equally as beautiful. We will definitely be back!

A perfect tranquil get away

Had a fantastic week here with our two teenagers - the property is clean and beautifully presented and the swimming pool is outstanding. It is a little off the beaten track but well worth it for the peace, quiet and outstanding views. Highly recommended.

Fantastic house, view and pool

We have used VRBO/homeaway a lot and this is our best vacation home yet! Two adults and two kids at age 6 and 8, stayed 3 weeks at the apartment, that is really a separate house from the rest of the Mommialla' apartments. The view from the terrace is amazing and we had most of our meals outside. It is close to nature, so be aware of ants and wasps. There is a 2 km gravel road before you reach Mommialla, and this means the area is quiet (and your car will be covered in dust from the dry dusty road). AC made it comfortable during the hot summer nights. Nice decorations of the house. The pictures are spot on. We would have liked a better kitchen knife or a sharpener, and a few more wine glasses, but other than that it is a fully equipped kitchen. Roberto is the manager in the area and made our stay safe and enjoyable. His is Italian and limited in English language, but we could understand each other. Multiple times we ran in to Roberto, and he always asked if all was well. Communication with Franco was fast and efficient. The pool is beautiful and well maintained – the kids loved it! We give our best recommendations.

Es har uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Der Pool ist fantastisch, die Terasse wunderbar. Die Betreuung durch Roberto immer nett und sehr zeitnah.Wir würden uns für die Zukunft über Auflagen für die Liegen an der Wohnung freuen. Falls irgendwann mal die Matratze im Doppelbett getauscht würde, wären zwei einzelne Matratzen besser. Dann wird man nicht wach, wenn die andere Person sich dreht oder aufsteht.

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche auf Mommialla in der sehr schönen Toskana und haben die Ruhe auf Mommialla als große Erholung empfunden. Besonders außergewöhnlich schön ist der sehr liebevoll und nett angelegte Gemeinschaftspool mit atemberaubenden Blick auf Volterra und die Schönheit der Toskana.

Absolute Erholung

Was braucht man mehr mit Kindern, als einen Swimmingpool und dieser Swimmingpool ist einfach traumhaft für Kinder und Erwachsene. Das Haus war auch sehr schön und wir haben uns wohlgefühlt. Die Abgeschiedenheit hilft einem wirklich zu entspannen und doch ist man innerhalb einer Autostunde an den verschiedensten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Toskana. Ein rundum schöner Urlaub!

Traumhafter Urlaub, in einer tollen Umgebung! Der Pool lädt nach den Besichtigungen der vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten der toskanischen Städte zur Erholung und gelungenen Abkühlung ein. Auch im Ferienhaus haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte einwandfrei und die Fliegengitter waren sehr hilfreich. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! Die Kommunikation mit Roberto und seiner Tochter war unkompliziert, sie waren uns eine große Hilfe.
