Beautiful property conveniently located by short car ride between lovely wineries, towns and restaurants. The rooms was very comfortable with air conditioning and a spectacular view of the hills. A family owned and run property, we enjoyed an amazing dinner on the first night (avail. Mon & Thurs). Breakfast and lunches were also great! The team were also helpful it assisting us with making dinner reservations at local restaurants.

We had the most beautiful stay at Il Defizio. The lovely family were so welcoming and accomodating to every need and we felt right at home. It was a nice change of scenery from busy cities we had previously been in and could not recommend more to those looking for a Tuscan stay at a budget friendly cost. I would definitely return with my whole family and upgrade to one of the larger villas.

We had such an amazing stay at Il Defizio - everything was perfect. The family who run it are some of the nicest, most attentive hotel owners/staff we've met and the hotel is beautiful. The location is great - driveable to many towns and restaurants in the area. The food was also delicious and reasonably priced. We had a lovely lunch and dinner there. Breakfast is also great. Would thoroughly recommend staying and we hope to return!

Beautiful property in the middle of Toscana, the view is absolutely breathless. Cool Pool area and very nice breakfast hall (cozy cabin style). Room was very comfortable and the bathroom nicely decored. Staff was friendly. Location is great to reach San Gimignano by car (20-25min)

We didn't appreciate that they charged us for towels for the pool (obviously one can not grab the towel from the room for the chlorine water at the pool) I asked the Front desk person for towels for the pool and he gave them to me, without informing that they would be charged later. It came as a surprise later when we checked out. In any other hotel if there is a pool, towels are available for guests, without charge.

The accommodation, the food and drinks, and the staff were simply amazing. The surroundings were like a fairytale. This was the best place we’ve ever stayed at. Andrea and the whole team were incredibly kind and attentive. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality! It was a fantastic experience! I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone! Adam&Zita

There was no such thing.

What a find. Location was jaw droppingly stunning, even more so from the pool. The villa was perfect for our use and was a great base to tour round Tuscany. Everyone there was friendly and attentive, even down to recommendations for car parks around Florence and Siena. All in all amazing.

Views and lounge diner room. Kitchen tiny and really not usable. Lounge lovely and light.

The smaller room bed was sooooo hard and uncomfortable and squeaked with each slight movement, one flat pillow each and it sloped downwards towards the head of the bed, so the blood ran to the head. It made my husband ill and he ended up sleeping downstairs on the sofa.

Nestled within a breathtaking landscape, this location is surrounded by stunning views. It's an ideal sanctuary for those seeking tranquility and serenity. Moreover, the hospitality provided by the family who manages this place is exceptional. Their warmth, kindness, and humor instantly made us feel like part of the family. Our stay was truly delightful, and will definitely be going back!

We absolutely adored our stay at Il Defizio! The staff were incredible—so kind, welcoming, and helpful—and the property itself was truly breathtaking. Everything about our stay was wonderful, and we only wish we had more time to enjoy it all. We’ll definitely be back in the future!

We loved everything !!!

The views from Il Defizio are absolutely stunning and the owners are lovely people. They make you feel happy and on holiday and really have eye for their guests. It was also beautiful to see how the owners (2 sisters and their husbands) worked so well together. The diner they cooked was a 10 out of 10 for us. Great to have diner next to our apartment where the kids slept. The garden in front of our apartment was ideal for playing with the kids and gives a spaceous feeling. We enjoyed our stay!

The interior and facilities of the apartment are quite old / not on level one might expect for this price (e.g. very small kitchen, no dish washer, bad wifi). We also had a lot of annoying insects in our apartment.
