Le Fonti a San Giorgio

I stayed at Le Fonti a San Giorgio for five nights in late August with my husband, our 5 year old, and my parents. We had the "Tuscany Premium Apartment" with three bedrooms, which was lovely and spacious for our family. The best things about staying here were the amazing, gorgeous views and scenery from our windows, the terrace, the pools, and the restaurant, and the delicious nightly dinners at the on-site restaurant! The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star stay for us was an issue with AC in our apartment, but the management is hopefully addressing that, and overall we absolutely loved our stay and would gladly return! The location and setting of the agriturismo are wonderful - it's quiet and peaceful and secluded on a hilltop at the end of small dirt road with amazing views of unspoiled vineyards and olive groves and hills in all directions. And at the same time, it's less than a hour from Florence, 30 min from San Gimignano and many wineries, and within 1-2 hours of sights like Siena, Pisa, Lucca (just add 10-15 min to all the travel times that your map program gives you to account for the twisty hill roads!). The 2km dirt road is a bit of an adventure (my husband described one section as "moguls") but it was perfectly passable in an average sedan rental car and so worth it for the location at the end! With respect to the apartment itself, we particularly liked the spacious rooms, the comfortable patio (have mosquito repellent for the evenings!), and the good-sized bathrooms attached to each bedroom (a small issue with a shower not draining well was fixed immediately after we let the front desk know). The beds were on the harder side, but not too uncomfortable for any of us. The kitchen was also very small and rather dark - this was for us as the dining table is out in the nice living room and we were really just using the kitchen for the fridge and some of the dishes and utensils on occasion for snacks or drinks, but it might not be ideal for a family that's hoping to cook regular meals. It's also worth noting that the windows do *not* have screens, so you need to rely on the AC units for cooling if you want to avoid getting bitten by mosquitos inside at night (management suggested using mosquito coils, but my daughter and husband get bitten badly and my experience is that coils are not very effective, so we did not do that). The pools on this property are lovely and clean with loungers and umbrellas and great views over the countryside, and we enjoyed cooling off in them on several evenings. The pool up by the main restaurant and "inn" is particularly lovely and picturesque! It's supposed to be for guests staying in the inn rooms while the lower pool (which is a bit more plain) is supposed to be for guests staying in apartments, but neither pool was crowded during our stay and no one seemed to mind when we went up to the inn pool one evening. The restaurant was one of the real highlights of our stay here! They serve an a la

Accoglienza, panorama e cucina al top!!! La Signora Piera coordina una squadra affiatata. I piatti sono gustosi la materia prima è esaltata dalla semplicità della cucina che rispecchia la tradizione. Olio extravergine e vini di altissima qualità. Un agriturismo vero senza fronzoli inutili .

Wij waren in 2023 ook op hotel (half pension) in Le Fonti a San Giorgio. Alles was toen prima, weliswaar basic kamers. We gingen dit jaar vooral terug voor het lekker eten en de pizza-avond waarop alle bewoners welkom waren. Dit jaar was de eerste teleurstelling dat we niet een week van zaterdag tot zaterdag mochten komen maar wel van vrijdag tot vrijdag wegens een totale bezetting voor een huwelijksfeest op zaterdag. Dit maakt dat we op drukkere dagen moesten rijden. De pizza-avond was ook dit jaar. zeer geslaagd. Buiten een feest in de week waren er zo goed als geen toeristen. Dit had tot gevolg dat de menu iedere avond bijna dezelfde was als de vorige avond. De maaltijden waren goed maar veel minder verfijnd als in 2023. Dessert was bijvoorbeeld elke dag keuze uit cantucci met vin santo, ijs of tiramisu. Mezza Maniche stond bijna alle dagen bij de 3 keuzes voor diner. De koffie (uit een thermos) bij het ontbijt was niet lekker. Oplossing was bijbetalen voor een cappuccino: 2€ (half pension!). Voor de rest was de keuze bij het ontbijt ook zeer beperkt. De toegangsweg, 2km strada bianca, daar doe je wel 10 minuten over wegens vele putten maar dat wisten we. Vorig jaar was dat nog veel erger. Internet, ook mobiele data werkt enkel buiten, in de buurt van het bureau. Het bed was ok maar de verouderde douche met sommige dagen lauw water mag ook een upgrade krijgen. Kortom ons verblijf was goed maar vorig jaar was het veel beter. Om positief te eindigen: het personeel was nog steeds super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Prima zwembad
