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.

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!

Nothing!

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!

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.

A countryside setting about 20 minutes drive outside San Gimignano. We stayed here to attend the Andrea Bocelli concert at Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico which was 30 minutes drive away. Beautiful building. We had a lovely room overlooking the very large swimming pool and Tuscan countryside beyond. Lovely breakfast. Excellent wifi. Excellent parking. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Everything was spotlessly clean. Couldn't fault it.

Beautifull room. Perfect food. Breakfast and lunch too. Even more beautiful pool and a view on the town Voltera from it.

The mess left by the children in and around the pool. And parents' misunderstanding that their children are not in the water park and are not there alone.

The staff goes all the way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Twice a week the serve an optional dinner which was very good. Pool was nice and our appartment was very specious.

Nothing at all!

The view was stunning, it was in a quiet spot, with views across the valley, the infinity pool was delightful. The terrace where we ate breakfast had beautiful views and there was a great variety of food at breakfast. My children loved the hot chocolates. Andrea, the host was so funny and attentive.

The beds were as hard as wood and the pillows were so flat it was hard to sleep.

The view is beautiful, the location is ideal if you want to go to Volterra, San Gimigniano, the apartment are very private, view of the sunset, the kitchen has all the items to cook and everything is confortable, modern while rustic feeling. We would come back.

Their restaurant only opens twice a week (October)

We had a very good time here. The location was beautiful, clean rooms, the staff was friendly and the food was delicious. The staff also recommended many local activities and restaurants to make sure we had a good time.
