Fabulous location with exquisite views of Tuscan countryside. Do need a car. Andrea was a very hospitable & helpful host. Apartment was spacious, confortable and well equipped. Would return tomorrow for an extended vacation in quiet, modern, relaxed country environment.

We stayed three nights at Casa Lari, and absolutely loved it! It's only 5 minutes away from the heart of San Gimignano, and it's situated on top of a hill surrounded by olive trees. Absolutely beautiful, and like other reviews - we found the room to be utterly spotless. The basket of breakfast goodies was fine, but we supplemented it with fruit and yogurt. We had a stove-top, a small refrigerator, and tons of utensils and dishes to use - two of the three nights, we bought food from local stores and made our own dinner. The parking was a bit tight, but they're designed for the small cars that Europeans love (they're zippy, if nothing else!). Overall, the property was very well maintained, and quite comfortable. We will definitely consider staying there if we find ourselves in San Gimignano again!

Excellent location to relax for a few days. Extremely clean and well kept property. Shows pride of ownership. Located in the country with stunning views of rolling tuscan hills. You need a car to stay here as all towns are at least 5 to 6 km away (San Gimignano). Kitchenette is handy to stock up with snacks.

Web page advertises garage - should state that parking is limited as we were not able to park on the property.

A great place to stay and very handy to everything. Would definitely go back. Only downside is the noise from upstairs when people are moving around - just a bit of a nuisance.

Ambiente gradevolissimo, accogliente, curato fin nei minimi particolari, dotazione di cucina completa, ampio garage. Il cestino della prima colazione è ricco ed abbondante. L'accoglienza è stata quasi familiare ma discreta. San Gimignano è a cinque chilometri, Certaldo a sette, un po' di più Monteriggioni, Colle Val d'Elsa, e poi Siena. Piancole, dove si trova casa Lari, è sulla via Francigena ed un punto di partenza molto comodo per conoscere la Toscana interna. Un buon ristorante è a due passi. Ci piacerebbe tornare.

This hotel was our best stay while in Italy. The owner Andrea Lari was extremely hospitable and addressed all our needs. This hotel is very well maintained. The rooms are very spacious with a very large bathroom and well equipped kitchen. The view is amazing. A few minutes outside San Gimingano this is a great location from which to explore the area. We will definitely be returning.

L'accueil a été très chaleureux. La famille Lari est vraiment très sympathique et attentionnée. Nous avons trouvé le logement très propre et confortable. La résidence est très calme et située dans un très bel environnement, à deux pas de San Gimignano. Nous avions une vue sensationnelle sur la campagne Toscane. Nous avons été très satisfaits de cette location et la recommandons vivement.

A super clean and cute property. Much nicer than it looked in the photographs and the view from the room is superb. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the hotel is located in a nice quiet village. I would definitely recommend it as a base for exploring Tuscany and would love to stay here again.

This hotel was truely the highlight of our vacation. Everything about the place was perfect, from the welcoming we received from the Lari family to the apartments themselves. The Lari family makes sure that every detail is perfect and their loving attention shows in everything. (Everything was so immaculate that we were nervous about making coffee and dirtying the kitchen!) In addition, the views from each apartment have to be the most beautiful in Tuscany. Do not hesitate to book this hotel - you will not be sorry!
