Nine of us spent a wonderful week at Villa II Gelso. It was as lovely as the description and accommodated both our group activities and meals, as well as plenty of spots to get away from the group with a book or a nap. But the real jewel was our hostess, Mariacristina. For the year leading up to our trip there she patiently answered a ton of questions, always responding within hours of our emails. She gave us some great recommendations and helped arrange a visit to De Ricci, an amazing winery, and a chef who came to the villa to make us a couple dinners. She even led a yoga class for us on the grounds! While we were there she was immediately responsive to any of our requests. She had described her villa to me as "shabby chic" and I would add to that extremely cozy and welcoming.

Tuscan Haven
Fantastic stay in beautiful property . Best villa we’ve stayed in and we’ve stayed in many. Good bathrooms and good kitchen equipment here .These two things have let other properties down. Nice quality glassware and cutlery , not the usual mismatch.
Villa is in peaceful location , yet handy for the lovely town of Montepulciano and its restaurants and supermarket .
Excellent, easy communication with Mariecristina .
Highly recommended

Tuscan retreat
We had a group of 11 stay and could not have loved our time more. The location was a great central spot to drive to different towns. We loved relaxing by the pools in the afternoons and our dinners al fresco. An incredible place to spend your vacation.

Tuscany dream vacation!
Our extended family travelled to Tuscany for two weeks and this property was everything we hoped for. The views are amazing, the main villa and casitas have plenty of amenities. the host Mariacristina provided great suggestions for groceries, places to visit and restaurants around the area. Highlights of our trip included a winery tour, day trips to Florence, Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena and Rome (to name a few), a cooking class at the villa and plenty of time lounging by the pool admiring the local surroundings. Thanks for such an amazing vacation!

I gave Villa IL Gelso and Mariachristina my highest 5 star rating.
Wow - I don't know where to begin. We absolutely loved the time we spent here.
The Villa was exactly as described - rustic, private, clean, peaceful, comfortable and with all the modern conveniences. It was hot for a few weeks and the air conditioning worked great.
The location is 15 minutes to Montepulciano and even less time to Pienza. Close enough to food shopping and anything else you need, but far enough away to really sense that you are in the Tuscany countryside.
The grounds and pool are well maintained and the views and sunsets are amazing. The cleaning crew came every Saturday to change towels, sheets and do a thorough cleaning of all 3 houses.
Mariacristina was a great host and always made herself available for questions, recommendations and any minor issues that came up.
We hired a cook to come twice and our entire family had a wonderful time and the food was absolutely delicious.
I gave Villa IL Gelso and Mariachristina my highest 5 star rating.
Thank you so much for a unforgettable vacation.

Excellent wonderful property! We visited a different town everyday, none more than 11/2 hours away. The pool was relaxing after long days of touring. We had 4 couples and each had their own ensuite bedroom. The property couldn't be better!

The property was stunning with magnificent views of the countryside. The house and cottages were wonderfully maintained. Mariachristina was always available to answer a question (or restock firewood). She made everything easy. I cannot wait to come back to this special place.

Erholsamer Urlaub in traumhafter Lage
Bei unserem Aufenthalt mit 10 Personen, einem Kleinkind und zwei süßen Hunden war bis auf zu wenig Beschattung, speziell am Pool, alles wunderbar!
Wir hatten vorsorglich jedoch eigene Sonnensegel von zu Hause mitgebracht, ohne die es auch nicht gegangen wäre.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!!

Vielen Dank an Mariacristina, die sich bewundernswert um unsere Anliegen gekümmert hat. Alles hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Vom WiFi am Pool bis zur Klimaanlage in allen Bereichen. Die Aufteilung mit den separaten Gebäuden war herrlich. Es bietet Platz und eine grosse Freiheit. Die Einrichtung ist super modern. Ich kann einen Aufenthalt in der Villa Il Gelso mit Freude weiterempfehlen.

Wunderbar!
Wir waren mit der „erweiterten“ Familie (6 Erwachsene) für zwei wundervolle Wochen in der Villa Il Gelso. Die Villa mit ihren beiden Cottages ist herrlich geschmackvoll restauriert und ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Aufgrund des grandiosen Wetters konnten wir den großen Pool ausgiebig nutzen. Landschaft und Aussicht sind traumhaft. Besonders empfehlen können wir auch die Kochkünste von Tuscan Chef Alessandro, der in den beiden Wochen dreimal bei uns war. Insbesondere der Kochkurs mit vier Gängen, inklusive selbstgemachter Pasta (Pici), war ein Riesenspass. Unsere Vermieterin Mariacristina war jederzeit für uns da und hat uns neben Restaurantempfehlungen auch bei der Organisation von Wine Tastings unterstützt. Fazit: herrliche Location für einen wundervollen Urlaub in der südlichen Toskana!

Spectacular villa in an amazing location overlooking Montepulciano. All of the rooms at the villa were immaculately clean, stylishly decorated and well appointed. There is a beautiful pool area with a large outdoor covered dining area, charcoal grill and large fire pit. Our host Maria Christina is a wonderful person and the perfect host! We loved this place, it is definitely the finest VRBO where we have ever stayed!

Stunning villa and location
We were a group of 4 couples (family and friends) that have just returned from a fantastic week at IlGelso.
Mariacristina is so welcoming, friendly and helpful. She was very quick to respond if we needed any help or advice. The villa, grounds and views are spectacular. It’s nicely laid out with 3 double bedrooms in the main villa and 2 separate cottages (which are amazing). This works well as it gives each couple their own space.
The swimming pool is absolutely wonderful – it’s so clean and inviting, well maintained and a good size for swimming. There are plenty of loungers for sunbathing and the view is amazing.
The location is great and we visited lovely towns and villages. We enjoyed visits to Montepulciano, Pienza and Montefollonico as well as some local wineries. However, we chose to spend much of our time at the villa around the pool relaxing and enjoying the views and the peace and quiet.
We all had a wonderful week and recommend the villa and Mariacristina without hesitation.

Best Family Vacation Ever!
Our family had an amazing vacation week at the property. If there are any questions, the response time is very fast. It is prefect for multigenerational travel. Mariachristina's property is as beautiful as in the photos and is a relaxing place to spend family time. Local towns are very convenient to visit and all of the recommendations we received worked out perfectly. The grandchildren loved the pool and the evenings by the fire were very nice. The recommended chef prepared our dinner and that was a true culinary experience. We enjoyed our time very much.

Tuscan charm with Modern Furnishings
Villa Il Gelso is a beautiful property with the all the benefits of a quiet countryside location with views of Montepulciano and the modern furnishings you would expect in a city hotel. It all combines for a perfect place to relax in comfort and enjoy the many villages just a short drive away. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the villa and all of the nearby activities that come with it.
Mariacristina is a great hostess and was happy to arrange multiple activities including truffle hunting with Pierpaolo, chef nights at the villa with Alessandro, and wine tasting at a small family Brunello estate which was the best winery experience any of us had ever had. She was very attentive to our needs which was much appreciated. We will be back!

Vila Il Gelso é simplesmente maravilhosa. A casa é charmosa, espaçosa, confortável e está muito bem localizada, numa área com vista explendida dos campos da Toscana. Mariacristina é uma anfitriã muito atenciosa, que nos forneceu todas as informaçoes e dicas que solicitavamos. Enfim, temos planos de voltar aqui um dia.
