A perfect getaway
We enjoyed the most wonderful week in San Momme and Alessandra and Maurizio were the perfect hosts. The village is friendly and welcoming with as nice bustle to it - and great coffee and beer - but at nighttime, the whole valley is extremely quiet and tranquil. The house itself is utterly charming, full of lovely things and very comfortable. The pool is amazing - very large and deep and with the most stunning views. The photos don't do this wonderful place justice and we would very happily return.

Nice place with wonderful hosts
We were a family with 3 grown-up children and a grandchild, we enjoyed our stay. Specially the swimmingpool and the outside kitchen. Alessandra and Mauricio were fantastics hosts, we loved Mauricios pizza and his cooking lesson.

Limoncello CREMA!
Es war ein toller Aufenthalt. Wir hatten so viel Spaß. Tolle und saubere Unterkunft, großer Pool mit schönem Grillplatz / Outdoorküche, sehr schöne und ruhige Gegend mit traumhaftem Ausblick, leckere Tomaten aus dem eigenen Garten und zu guter letzt, die sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber Alessandra und Maurizio. Vielen Dank für die unterhaltsamen Abende mit selbstgemachtem Limoncello CREMA! , Grappa, Ramazotti CREMA! und „il soffio del diavolo“. Es war ein Erlebnis. Es hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht und wir haben so viel Gelacht. Danke für die tollen Gespräche. Wir kommen sehr, sehr gerne wieder. Liebe Grüße von Ulm nach Sanmommé, Selma und Steve mit Kinder und Chrissi und Artur mit Kinder

Beautiful house in Northern Tuscany
My family, my parents and my sister's family (9 pers. : 6 adults and 3 kids aged 10, 13, and 16) stayed in the house for 10 days in June. The house was according to the photos and description and as mentioned in previous comments very clean. The pool area and the summer kitchen outside are very nice and the view from there is incredible. Some people complained about the fact that the garden is separate from the house (you have to walk out the house from main door to access the garden), however it was not a problem at all for us. Yes you have to walk up and down the stairs if you forget something in the house but we did not feel this was an issue. We stayed outside most of the time and enjoyed the sunny days near or in the pool :) The house has 3 bedrooms with double beds (one of which has also 2 single beds) on the second floor and one on the 1st floor (3 single beds). The beds are wide and comfortable, and the rooms spacious. The kitchen is a little small but functional. there are 2 living rooms. The house remains cool even in the hot summer days. The village of San Momme is also nice. It has 2 restaurants and a bar that also works as a grocery store. It sells bread and basic food. Otherwise you have to drive down to Pistoia (20min.) for the supermarkets. From Pistioa it's easy to access the major touristic places by train or car. We visited the Cinque Terre, Lucca, Florence, Sienna, and Pisa. The hosts Maurizio and Alessandra are very nice and discrete.

Super house
Very clean and big house up in the mountains. Perfect place to relax ( at the swimmingpool), for a hike or to visit Pisa, Florence, Lucca, Pistoia. The owners are friendly and helpfull. We stayed with 4 adults and 6 teenagers in the house. More than enough space.

Fine for short stay
It was a nice stay. Friendly host and big house with a nice pool. Missing a bit of an outdoor area close to the kitchen. The town is not lively but a small kiosk. Maybe not the place for kids.

Hello Mark , Thanks for your review , however I have to say that you haven’ t described the place properly and I would like my next guests to take notice of my revisions. The place is not a town but a small village up the Hills near Pistoia . May be you haven’t had a stroll Around it and you haven’t read all the info I left in the house about the village where there are 2 bar ( one of them also sells some food and the other one bakes pizza . Then there is a Kiosk on the top of the well equipped playground where children have a lot of fun. Moreover there is a trattoria cooking Tuscan specialities. I wonder if you noticed all that . The village is not lively in June , schools are still open and people come mainly in July and August for their holiday and during those months there are a lot of entertainments.. You say you Missed an oudoor area close to the house kitchen , but you can’t deny that there is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen in the garden which our guests love because they can have meals al fresco . Unfortunately during your stay the weather was not always nice and I can understand that it was not advisable to let your children stay outside , it was too windy. We have been renting our Villa for more than 15 years and we have had children of any age of course babies like yours are more demanding and for parents it is stressful. I’m sorry to have had to point out all this , but for us it is important that our future guests have a clear picture of the place they will be staying. I have instead to give you a positive credit about the tidiness of the house although there were all those children . When I sent my review about you I gave you 3 stars by mistake and The system didn’t allow me to correct it , So sorry . I wish you and your friends all the very best. Alessandra

Sehr erholsamer Urlaub
Wir haben einen sehr erholsamen Urlaub bei Alessandra und Maurizio verbracht. Das Haus ist im Dorf Sammomme mit einer Bar, die auch etwas Lebensmittel verkauft. Das Haus war sehr sauber. Mauricio hat sich stets im Hintergrund gehalten, war aber stets zur Stelle bei Fragen. Die meiste Zeit haben wir am Pool verbracht mit den Vorzügen der Aussenküche. Parken kann man nicht direkt am Haus aber an einem kostenlosen Parkplatz ums Eck, was in Ordnung war. Mauricio ist ein Meister im Pizza machen, wozu er uns in den 2 Wochen Aufenthalt eingeladen hat. Das war klasse. Vielen Dank für den tollen Urlaub.

Séjour très agréable
Le propriétaire habite sur place mais est très sympa, généreux (légumes de son potager, grappa ;-) ) et très discret. La maison est très bien équipée, nous n'avons manqué de rien. La vue est splendide et la localisation est parfaite pour apprécier facilement la région. Il est possible de décharger ses valises devant la maison et le reste du séjour nous avons pu bénéficier d'un parking à +/- 300m. Le séjour se situe au +1 et la piscine au -1 avec la cuisine extérieure bien équipée à proximité. Nous recommandons vivement cette villa. Merci à Mauricio pour sa gentillesse.

Fantastisk hus i rustik italiensk stil, med egen pool. Ligger i bjergene nord vest for Firenze.
Min kone og jeg, samt vores venner havde en helt igennem fantastisk ferie i denne skjulte perle. Beliggende i en mindre bjerg landsby, men med mulighed for at nå Lucca, Pisa og Firenze indenfor 1½ time i bil. Bil er et "must". Vi blev mødt af værtparret Alessandra og Maurizio, som er virkelig søde og hjælpsomme. De bor i et lille hus i et hjørne af haven og de er meget opmærksomme på hvornår de skal hjælpe og hvornår de skal trække sig tilbage. Huset er i flere etager med spisestue, opholdsstue, køkken, 4 værelser og tre badeværelser. Alt i dejlig rustik italiensk stil. Vi brugte swimmingpoolen flittigt, der ligger i haven ved siden af huset. med liggestole og alt det privatliv vi kunne ønske os. Der er også et udekøkken, som vi ikke nåede at få brugt. Det gør vi næste gang, for vi vender helt sikkert tilbage. Kort sagt: Helt igennem fantastisk sted med dejlige og hjælpsomme værter. Denne skjulte perle kan klart anbefales.

Heerlijke plek!
Wij waren 2 weken met 2 gezinnen te gast in deze mooie, oude woning. Het is even wennen om de trappen naar beneden en weer naar boven te nemen, maar het is het waard. Mooie ruime tuin met een heerlijk zwembad, uitgerust met zit- en ligstoelen. Prima! Alessandra en Maurizio zijn er als je hen nodig hebt. Verder geniet je alle vrijheid van een vrijstaande woning. De plek is geschikt als uitvalsbasis naar alle mooie plekken die Toscane te bieden heeft! De woning is compleet ingericht en er is genoeg ruimte voor 10 personen. We were 2 weeks with 2 families to guest in this beautiful, old house. It's getting used to taking the stairs down and back up, but it's worth it. Nice spacious garden with a lovely pool, equipped with sitting and deckchairs. Fine! Alessandra and Maurizio are there if you need them. Furthermore, you enjoy all the freedom of a detached house. The place is suitable as a base to all the beautiful places that Tuscany has to offer! The house is fully equipped and there is enough space for 10 people.

Merci et encore merci...
Nous avons passé 2 très belles semaines chez Maurizio et Alessandra qui nous ont accueillis très chaleureusement. Nous avons pu découvrir de belles villes de Toscane: Florence, Pise, Luques, San Gimignano, Sienne...De belles randonnées sont egalement possibles à partir de Sammomme: au lac de Lagoni ou encore au lac de Scaffaiolo. La maison est spacieuse et bien équipée. Nous avons mangé près de la cuisine d'été à côté de la piscine qui a fait le bonheur des enfants et aussi des adultes. La rencontre avec Maurizio et Alessandra restera un très beau souvenir...Merci encore pour ces belles vacances.

Traumhaft schön zum Urlaub machen
Wir waren vom 14. bis 21.Juli im Ferienhaus. Haben vor allem den Pool mit Sprungbrett, die Outdoor- Küche im Schatten unter Eichenbäumen und die schöne Lage genossen. Aber auch das nette Miteinander mit dem Gastgeber und die selbst angebauten Auberginen, Zucchini und der Salat haben unseren Urlaub bereichert. Ausflüge machten wir nach Pistoia, Lucca und Florenz - jeweils auch gut mit der Bahn zu erreichen. Sammomme ist ein freundliches Dorf in den Bergen mit kleiner Pizzaria, Dorfladen und mit im Vergleich zur sommerlich heißen Ebene angenehmen Klima. Familie Trümner & Büchner (Schleswig-Holstein)
