A 'green' winery, one of the first in Italy. Their Colle delle Mandorle, Tuscan Red was excellent.
Very clean rooms.
Just a bit far to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, which is fine if the weather is good.
Great friendly staff.

When I think of Italy, I think of visiting the Tuscan Region, so when my husband and I decided to do a trip, I had to find a vineyard to stay on. We met a gentleman from Italy doing a wine tasting NYC were we live. We got to talking and he recommended we look into Tenuta San Vito Vineyards about 15 miles outside of Florence. I first looked up on Trip Advisor, found a handful of great reviews, and the found the website. It was exactly what I was looking for. I reached out to the facility and they responded right away in a friendly manor. There rates were very resonable, but they did require a min 3 night stay. I worked with Sara, and she gave me our options as to rates and apartment we would be staying in. We were given La Rosa, right next to the pool and restuarant.
When we arrived in Montelupo from Pisa we called the owner Neri who came and got us from the train station. He then suggested we get supplies so we stopped at a small supply store and picked milk, yogurt, cold cuts, bread and water.
He brought us to the estate and I was blown away, speachless and just couldn't get over how beautiful and peaceful everything seemed to be. We got to our apartment that had a kitchen area, bedroom, and bathroom...perfect for 2 people maybe for a for person family. The bedroom had a great view of the vineyard. It was nice to wake up to the view, the sun shining and the bird chirping. It was quite hot while we were there, so we didn't do much hiking or biking like we wanted, but we did explore the land a bit. We took advantage of the pool, and the restaurant every night. The restaurant isn't a busy place, but has a unique and fresh handwritten menu that changes every night.
Also, Neri gave us mini wine tour of how they make the wine and how to taste and enjoy properly. You can buy wines and oil and have them shipped to your home; which was great! He also helped us get transportation to and from the train station when we wanted to go into Florence (2 train stops), and when we needed to get a train to Milan. Which you have to take the train into Florence and then hop a train to Milan (about 1hr 1/2 ride). This was one of the most memorable places we stayed and went to in Italy. I promise we will return.

the price was right for this appartment. We had Lilla which sleeps 6. It had a nice kitchen and big bedroom. Small TV and extra small and need of work bathroom. If it wasn't for the bathroom, everything else as very good quality for the price. No chest of drawers in the bedroom or anywhere for that matter. Very rustic ambiance with a wably pic-nic table outside, lots of gree and a few steps from a fantastic pool overlooking Tuscan hills. Too bad only one bottle of wine was complementary but no olive oil! Breakfast was very boring (same thing everyday) but the setting was amazing. Payment was requested in advance (I refused) but the came to request it the day before our departure and that was fine. Very peaceful and nothing but relax. Very difficult location to reach especially if you suffer from carsickness so stop over at a grocery store Iper Coop in the nearest town for any emergency supplies (swim goggles, any food or drink). Close to Florence and not too far from San Gimignano. About an hour from major sights. But once you reach this little gem, it's hard to feel like travelling too much just to enjoy the nature. Definitely not the Hilton but overall good quality price ratio, especially for Tuscany which is generally over-rated.

In the beautiful Tuscan hills, just 15 kms outside of Firenze lies this great estate, where the owners are proud producers of organic wine and olive oil.

Beside the "cantina" (=the factory/winery) there are 4 farms that have been changed into appartment buildings. The accommodations are typical Tuscan, usually consisting of a kitchen/living room, bathroom and bedroom(s). The ground floor appartments have terraces with seats and tables.

There is a small restaurant with a simple but very elegant menu, supplemented by daily suggestions from the chef. Once a week there is a cooking class, including lunch to eat the dishes cooked in class. The 130 ha estate also offers hiking paths with signs to guide you across the vineyards, olive groves and the woods.

The produce from the estate is on sale in the shop.

We enjoyed the Tuscan climate sitting poolside, looking across the lovely country side. The pool is well maintained and clean, and is shared with the occupants of the appartments.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. They arranged a reservation for the famous Galeria degli Uffizi museum in Firenze very efficiently, and are more than willing to assist with other queries.
