Birthday Celebration
We had an incredible time at Villa Sarah. As amazing as the photos are, they do not do justice to the beauty of the villa and the surrounding countryside. The view from the pool is unlike anything else you will experience and is alone worth the price of the villa. We rented the villa for 7 nights with 10 adults and 2 children, which were easily accommodated. Gabriel, Caterina, and team were incredibly responsive and easy to work with and they were able to recommend a number of activities and experiences for our group. The highlight of the trip by far was the cooking class in the outdoor kitchen - highly recommended! Gabriel and Caterina were also able to arrange for a professional photographer to come and capture the cooking class. As others have mentioned, the welcome spread is certainly enough food to tide your group over for the day of arrival. There are plenty of grocery stores a short drive away that can provide you with anything else you need. There are also countless hill towns, restaurants, and vineyards in the surrounding area that Gabriel and his team can recommend. Thank you to Gabriel, Caterina, and team for creating a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for our family.

Family get together in Tuscany
Wonderful clean property and great owners who communicated often and help arrange many side trips and dinners. The villa is beautiful and the pool is stunning. The five separate bedrooms all with their own ensuite gave all of us our own space and worked well. The villa is ideal for an extended family get together. Location and views are great although we would say do not plan on walking to and from San Gimignano - it is a long, dusty and very uphill walk.

Amazing family birthday celebration
The villa was amazing. My family of 5 celebrated my 60th birthday at the Villa Sarah. You can’t ask for more picturesque views. Hard to believe you are looking at a real landscape and not a painting of a perfect Tuscan landscape. No noisy neighbors nearby or obstructed views, just the pure magic of the San Gimignano village, vineyards and rolling hills. The Tuscan cooking class in the outdoor kitchen was a highlight. It was a hugely bonding experience for our family. Even those who don’t like to cook, loved it, and the chefs made it all so easy and fun. Gabriele and Caterina were so responsive to all our needs, making dinner reservations, wine tasting and arranging a car to take us to the Cinque Terre. Beautiful memories for all of us.

Magical Celebration at Villa Sarah
We had a magical stay at Villa Sarah. The home is beautiful and the views look like paintings. Communication could not have been easier but it’s above and beyond your typical VRBO. Their team arranged for a driver (the fabulous Sonia!), an incredible chef, and wine tours. Sonia even got my son in to see her eye doctor one afternoon. Every recommendation the owners made was spot on. I can’t wait to return!

Unforgettable Tuscany Birthday Celebration
Considerable time and effort went into finding and selecting Villa Sarah. We rented the property for a 5 day stay with 4 adults and 2 kids for my 50th birthday celebration. The hosts went out of their way to communicate with us all along the way - from the initial booking 9 months ahead of the trip right up to arrival. The villa itself has been beautifully renovated including amazing outdoor space (pool, elaborate outdoor kitchen and game area) overlooking a breathtaking view of iconic vines and the ancient walled village of San Gimignano. The 5 bedrooms are all similar in size and each feature their own en suite bathroom. There are two bedrooms down and 3 up stairs - all similarly sized and appointed. The outdoor space is a welcome addition as the combined kitchen and small living area are on the only "common" areas inside the house itself... opening the wonderful double doors at the entry to access the outdoor space creates an expansive overflow area connecting in and out beautifully. The hosts connected us with their chef partners who we engaged (additional cost) to come in and prepare meals for us on two nights - they know the space well and used both indoor and outdoor kitchens to prepare authentic Italian dining for our group. We had a designated point of contact for any questions or issues while at the villa and given that we were the first visitors of the season, we did encounter a few issues all of which were resolved. Villa Sarah is an unforgettable experience!

A 5 Star Experience !!!!
5 star everything! Book this house without any hesitation; you will not regret it . We loved our stay and are looking forward to coming back next year. The view from the house, the garden, the hospitality, the surroundings and also the layout of the house - all awesome! We enjoyed our daily walks through the breathtakingly beautiful neighborhood. There are several wineries in the neighborhood that offer wine tasting and food and always amazing views of Toscana’s wine region. You will love the hosts of this house; Gabriele, Lucia with daughter Carolina are so very generous and willing to help with anything. They are real sweethearts. They invited us several times out to dinner to the winery up the street and on top of it, Lucia cooked a delicious meal for us (Ragu with pasta :-) The welcome buffet tied us over for several days. The house is well equipped and has everything you need. It is all functioning and decorated with great taste. The outdoor kitchen and dining room is a wonderful spot to hang out - the pool and the view of San Gimignano makes it very special. Sam Gimignano is a treat. very charming with shopping and restaurants. Since we stayed in that house for a month, we needed to keep our daily routine - we found a gym and grocery stores in Poggiobonzi, a town 12 minutes away. We recommend visiting Siena and Volterra - it’s a beautiful drive through Tuscany. Florence is easily reachable by train. Gabriele, Lucia, Carolina, thank you for everything

One week
The villa was in good condition. The Tuscan countryside is beautiful and you can see the towers of San Gimignano on the hillside. The website discusses walking to San Gimignano. That is a reality if you are in your 20’s and in great shape. It is all UPHILL and a long way away. It may be an estimated 2 KM but that is as the crow flys. NOT WALKABLE. Transport is a BIG issue. RENT A CAR!!!!! It will cost €120 for roundtrip transportation to San Gimignano which is about a 6 minute car ride. There are also limited choices for drivers. BOOK EARLY and rent a car!!!! The POOL is lovely and inviting but NOT HEATED. It was very cold and Almost unusable. The chef for dinner did a great job. Best ribs we have ever had. You are NOT allowed to being in your own chef so don’t research anything else.

Just perfect!
We had our children and granddaughters join us for a week at Villa Sarah to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful. The villa is lovely and the view can not be beat. The pool and outdoor dining kitchen were a couple of our favorite gathering areas. They arrange to have a chef come in three nights and that was delicious and super convenient. On the nights that we did go out to dinner Caterina arranged a driver for us on those evenings. The villa was stocked with all the basics to get us started and a huge Tuscan meat and cheese platters to celebrate our arrival. It was a week that none of us will forget!

Perfect month stay with family and friends
Villa Sarah was everything we expected and more. Owners, Gabriel and Lucia, and concierge, Caterina were all very helpful and responsive prior to and during our stay. The location of Villa Sarah is just a short drive or long walk up to the village of San Gimignano. Siena, Florence, Montepulciano, Lucca, Pisa, Volterra are within an hour drive making it the perfect location for day trips. The highlights each week were our cooking classes and chef prepared meals in the wonderful outdoor kitchen area. Chefs, Sergio and Priscilla and helpers, Francesca and Senna were wonderful. Dining al fresco every evening while watching the sunset over the Tuscan countryside was priceless. We took full advantage of the beautiful pool and jacuzzi. Villa Sarah was the perfect place for us to share our love of Tuscany with family and friends. We look forward to returning.

50th Anniversary Trip of a Lifetime
Villa Sarah was beautiful inside and out! The 5 bedrooms all had king sized very comfortable beds and private bathrooms, perfect for 5 couples traveling together. Our great experience started way in advance of our visit as Catarina helped us plan all the details of our trip from a private chef, wine tastings, area restaurants, an on-site cooking class and private transportation back to Florence. Everything happened just as planned with no issues whatsoever. As wonderful as the villa was, the grounds and views were even better. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our cooking class and, a little too cool for swimming, the pool was stunning. Even more stunning was the view of the country side and San gimignano. It was like stepping out into a fairy tale every morning. We will go back as soon as we can!

Beautiful property with spectacular views
We had a group of eight adults and were very comfortable. The large living dining area and outside cabana with full kitchen gives plenty of options. The location is 5 minutes by car to the charming city of San Gimignano. The views of the city and the Tuscan countryside are amazing. The owners had an amazing buffet of Italian meats, cheeses and breads set out upon arrival and a packet of useful information for the surrounding area. They arranged a chef to prepare a dinner one night and a cooking class on another. We had the best time and the food was wonderful. We arranged some side trips to wineries and the Parma region with the Villa's driver, Sonia. She was a wonderful driver and so helpful. Unfortunately, the pool was not open during our stay, but overall, our stay at Villa Sarah was a truly wonderful experience. We would highly recommend staying at this lovely villa.

Excellent Stay!
This Villa is in a beautiful location and beautifully designed! All 5 rooms are well appointed and the outdoor kitchen and space were fantastic and a crowd favorite. Note: the outdoor kitchen has dishes, cookware, glasses and a dishwasher so no need to transfer those items between kitchens. We had several different groups rotate through the villa and all of our guests consistently remarked on how much they loved the Villa. Charming San Gimignano is nearby (you can either up walk up a challenging road 10-15%+ grade or on the main road to town) & experience the best Gelato Italy has to offer among many other good restaurants. The Villa provided plenty of easy parking for several cars, laundry, and room for outdoor games. The pool and spa are gorgeous (currently not able to heat them but will be able to do so next year) and both are sited on the property to capture the beautiful scenic views of the vineyards and San Gimignano. We did a cooking class and private chef dinner (arranged by the owners) which were both fantastic! The owners were incredibly responsive to our needs and even went the extra mile to help get a suitcase for one of our guests delivered. Overall our experience was amazing and I would highly recommend Villa Sarah to anyone!

There aren’t enough words to describe this piece of heaven we experienced at Villa Sarah. The panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside looking toward San Gimignano is spectacular. Villa Sarah surpassed our expectations and the pool and outside kitchen area was such a perfect place for our family to enjoy. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the appointments throughout the villa are amazing- a tribute to Gabriel’s background as an architect. Lucia and Gabriel are perfect hosts even helping us get a walker for my husband who has mobility issues. The villa is a short drive or a challenging walk up a hill into San Gimignano which is our favourite city in all of Tuscany. We have travelled to Tuscany many times over the years and this is by far the best villa we have experienced. Our kids and grandkids didn’t want to leave but they will carry with them treasured memories of Villa Sarah. Let me not forget to also mention Caterina the wonderful and helpful property manager who took care of anything we needed. We certainly hope we can return to Villa Sarah in the future.
