Perfect stay in calming atmosphere
It was very nice trip which gave us a fresh brief during this difficult year. Nice surroundings, walking paths, beautiful little towns around for a day trip - everything was almost perfect. Apartments itself were clean and nothing to complain in general. You should rent a car to feel yourself completely flexible with a stay.

Wonderful apartment in beautiful area
We have just returned from a weeks stay and were both so impressed with the thought that had gone into the accommodation. It was a very hot week but the air conditioning throughout worked perfectly and was a real relief every time we returned after a trip out and made for comfortable sleeping conditions too. The bed was really comfy and insect nets at every window and on the bedroom door were also really useful. It was perfectly situated for day trips to Florence, Pisa and Siena. San Gimignano was absolutely gorgeous and only 15 minutes away meaning we could arrive early, find a parking space with ease and see it before the masses descended upon the town by late morning. Upon arrival we were met by Olga who gave us a quick tour. The whole place was spotless and well equipped. The swimming pool is like paradise and on the whole the other guests were all looking for a quiet and relaxing week too. There was a very friendly atmosphere around the place. The only possible downside at all was that other than to load and unload your car needed to be left at the car park at the top of the “village”. This made for a quiet and safe place but it should be noted that this was quite a steep slope on uneven and loose ground for anyone with any mobility issues, bad knees, hips etc. Both the owner, Konstantin, and Olga who met us upon arrival were friendly, helpful and quick to reply to any emails or texts. This really was a near perfect holiday in absolutely beautiful surroundings. Wish we could have stayed for longer!

Amazing vacation to the heart of Tuscany
Upon arriving to Momialla you find yourself immersed in a medieval Italian village among hills far from the daily hustle and bustle of the cities. We were greeted by I nice Italian host Roberto who showed us around and gave us some suggestions for dinner and travel. Our family was staying in 2 apartments : Il Gelso and Il Fico. Each of the apartments had their own compact fully equipped and very cute kitchen designed in a local village style, a bathroom, a bedroom, a living room with an additional sleeping place and the last but not the least an amazing terrace overlooking the hills and vineyards of Tuscany. The terrace was the place where the day began, sipping your morning coffee and eating figs that were just taken fresh from the tree (which happened to be just at our terrace) in preparation for the new day of adventure or just a calm day spent by the pool in the village. In Momialla we were able to enjoy both types of holidays. Being in the heart of Tuscany it took us 30 to 40 minutes by car to reach some of the small medieval cities such as San-Gimignano, Volterra and Siena and about an hour to more touristic cities as Florence and Pisa. Some of the lazy days we stayed in Mommialla walking around the forests and hills and enjoying the organic swimming pool. The swimming pool shouldnt go without a note. The swimming pool is nothing like I experienced before! The water is cool making it a great escape during hot days, it is also Chlorine free which didn’t dry my skin and which gives you a sensation of freshness. The whole experience is like bathing in spring water. It is also situated overlooking the hills of Tuscany. The whole time we have been there it was never crowded as the village has few apartments and there was always an available set of sunbeds to accommodate the whole of our family. As the village is small and the apartments are spread apart the place is also very quite and you barely meet anyone unless you go to the pool. To summarize it’s a great place for a holiday for any types of travellers: families with children ( we have a 4 year old child and he enjoyed it just as much as we did) romantic holidays or friends. I would recommend it to anyone and I would most certainly like to stay there again.

Under the Mulberry tree
Annemie and i have stayed in this little Borgo, a really special place in Tuscany. We were in Il Gelso for one week, which has a small-small terrace in front of the house, with views up to Volterra: great for having a coffee in the morning. In the garden, there is another, bigger terrace with terracotta table, underneath the very old - Il Gelso - tree, which is great for lunches/dinners. Il Gelso has two bathrooms which can come in handy when you go there with 4 (we were only the 2 of us)... The apartment is really clean, is airconditioned, has a nice kitchen with dishwasher, good size fridge,... Everything one needs on holiday. We love the environment, the spectacular views up to Volterra which is more than 20 kilometers away. The swimming pool is unique / photo's say more than words! This year we have discovered some extra restaurants, we have visited San Gimignano (20min), Firenze (1hour), Lucca (1h15min), and tasted some great Chianti-wines. Love Tuscany, and definitely will be back. Gunther & Annemie

Das Appartement ist gut ausgestattet. Betten top Im Sonnenuntergang auf der Terasse sitzen,den Tag ausklingen lassen,nachdem man sich zuvor im super Pool entspannt oder abgekühlt hat, ist Urlaub. Am Pool war nie Stress. Die Nachbarappartment waren belegt,aber man sieht sich kurz und das wars. Die Stimmung im Dorf ist sehr entspannt gewesen Das Umland zu erkunden macht Spaß. Um die Ecke gab es eine kleine Fattoria ,wir haben dort gerne eingekauft. Noch nie solche Tomaten 🍅 gegessen. Wir kommen gerne wieder Liebe Grüße

Schöner Urlaub in der Toskana
Nachdem wir uns durch die Schotterstraße "gequält" hatten, kamen wir im kleinen schönen "Dorf" Mommialla an. Olga empfing uns freundlich und zeigte uns die sehr schöne Wohnung und den wunderschönen Pool. Man ist in 20 Minuten in San Gimignano und in einer halben Stunde in Volterra. Pisa, Lucca und Siena erreicht man zwischen einer Stunde und 1 1/2 Stunden. Der nächste Supermarkt ist in San Gimignano oder in Montaine. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Ferienwohnung weiter empfehlen

Sehr saubere, top ausgestattete Ferienwohnung in wunderschöner Lage. Der Pool von dem man eine tolle Aussicht über die Toscana hat ist auch sehr sauber und ordentlich gepflegt. Olga war super nett und jederzeit ansprechbar und Probleme konnten schnell gelöst werden. Der Vermieter Constantin hatte sich schon im Vorhinein extra zu glutunfreien Produkten im Supermarkt für uns erkundigt. Generell war es gar kein Problem in der Umgebung und in den naheliegenden wunderschönen Städtchen glutenfrei Pizza, Pasta, Eis und anderes zu essen. Vielen dank, wir kommen auf jeden fall wieder!

Schöne Wohnung, toller Pool, ruhige Lage
Schöne Wohnung und toller Pool. Wenn man richtig ungestört Urlaub machen möchte, und auch den Pool nutzen möchte, dann ist das die richtige Lösung. Allerdings ist das Ganze doch ziemlich ab vom Schuss, und die Distanzen sind uns mit der Zeit etwas auf die Nerven gegangen...wenn man für ein Eis oder einfach zum Supermarkt locker 20min fahren muss...Wir waren mit 4- und 6jähriger Tochter dort, und abgesehen vom Pool gibt es keinen Spielplatz oder ähnliches. Man ist also auf gutes Wetter angewiesen. Aber das ist ja meistens der Fall :-)

Die gesamte Anlage mit den kleinen Häuschen und Appartements ist sehr schön und sehr ruhig gelegen mit toller Aussicht von nahezu jeder Stelle. Unser Appartement war sauber und perfekt ausgestattet.
