My girlfriend and I stayed at Podere Montese in May 2011 for a little under a week and really wish that we'd had more time to enjoy the tranquility of the area and the hospitality of Annalisa and Davide. We had rented a car, which is a must if staying this far out of a main city; this allowed us to make easy day trips to Pisa, Lucca and Sienna. The highlight of each day though was coming back to the terrace at Podere Montese, relaxing with a bottle of Davide's wine and some cheese from the market near San Gimignano. The room was perfect and the addition of complimentary wifi made it easy for us to stay in touch with family while gone. We will definitely be back to this part of the world in the future, and we definitely hope to stay at Podere Montese again.

The b&b was better than expected!! It was really great, nice welcoming, great view, simple but very clean room and bathroom. Breakfast was good. Swimming pool and terrace are more than fine. The wine was very very good! It was very nice that there was a refridgerator with water and wine at a very nice price!! Beautiful view over San Gimignano.
They recommanded us 2 very nice restaurants!
Super!!
A place to go back!

When we booked Podere Montese, we thought: If it is as good as in the pictures, it will be perfect. Two weeks there and we can frankly say: It was even better than in the pictures. We had a great time and Podere Montese is everything you imagine when you plan a vacation in Tuscany. This little place is close to San Gimignano and the view on the town is outstanding. The rooms are very tastefully furnitured, breakfast is great, pool is clean and big enough to relax and the hosts are very generous and helpful. Oh of course, the wine is excellent and Annalisa and Davide will help you with every problem!

First thing you notice, of course, is the beauty of Podere Montese ,then you meet the owner! Davide could be from New York with all his charm and soft spoken manner but the scarf around his neck and cackys tells you he owns a vineyard and a B&B in Tuscany! Class all the way! Times were tough for him with the recession in Europe,but he has such passion for his B&B (as the fabulous pictures on the wall attest to) that you know you are in good hands! And that pretty much says it all!
His wine is superb as his B&B too! He drove my sister and I down to town whenever
we wanted,he was basically there for us! The added bonus is his sweet mother and
wife!I will tell all my friends Davide! thanks
