Agriturismo Il Vecchio Maneggio

We had a wonderful experience in this place. It has a great location: only few kilometers from S.Gimignano, next to Volterra, Florence, Siena and more. Great food and friendly owners; you feel at home! It's very nice to have breakfast and dinner with the other residents. The heating works very well, our room was very warm and comfortable. It is a nice place either for couples and family. Arianna & Mario

After staying at another place in Tuscany that did not offer friendliness or good food/wine, we were skeptical about moving on to this place. However, I think this place surpassed our expectations for a true Tuscan experience. The main lady, Tiziana, is a friendly, wonderful person who, by the way, gave us our best meal in Tuscany by far--even better than the restaurant meals we got in the various hill towns. We had room #5, which had stone flooring and modern fixtures in both the bedroom and bathroom. Our room was very clean. There... more

We were new to the aguriturismo scene, and didn't really know what to expect when we visited. We would go back to Il Vecchio Maneggio again in a heartbeat! The room we stayed in was basic, and without airconditioning might make returning in the heat of summer a bit difficult, but there was a fan, and sleeping with the windows open was a treat. The pool is refreshing, and San Gimignano is just a couple miles away and makes up part of the view from the front porch. We didn't go horseback riding, but maybe next time! Dinner every night... more

The people are friendly, the scenery is amazing, the wine and food are wonderful. It's a great place to unwind for a few days. The only downside was that our room didn't have airconditioning and it got a bit stuffy at night.

We loved San Gimgnano at the end of the day when the day trippers had left. The countryside around San Gimgnano was spectaculor - I can see why Tuscany is loved by so many. The accomodations however, were disappointing. When we arrived, we had to request that the shower stall be cleaned as there was a lot of hair in the shower. The breakfasts were medicore at best. We were interested in having a dinner there, however, we noticed that the cooks were smoking in the kitchen and smoking while they were preparing food. We went to a great... more

We have just returned from a trip around Italy. Our stay at Il Vecchio Maneggio was our favourite part of the holiday.:we liked it so much that we stayed an extra night. The farmhouse itself is traditional,clean and well presented, as was the room we stayed in. Tiziana, the 'hostess' and her family are very welcomming. A traditional, home-cooked dinner is served each evening- the meal incorporates organic produce of the farm:-, honey, saffron, olive oil and wine ( which flows freely with the meal) We really enjoyed the... more

Il Vecchio Maneggio was one of our fondest memories on our trip to Europe. I am surprised that there aren't more reviews of this wonderful agriturismo in the rolling hills near San Gimignano. The rooms were a decent size, clean and had modern amenities in the bathroom- a great value. The views from the bedrooms are quite beautiful. However, the best part was getting to experience the warm hospitality of Tiziana and her family. For 25 Euro, we enjoyed a typical Italian Sunday dinner sitting around the table with them- organic food mostly... more

A real "agriturismo" where you get to sit down at dinner with the people who make the wine you're drinking. It's hard to find one of these around these dyas. Their website doesn't do the place justice - it's not out-of-this-world stunning, but it's a lot more charming, rennovated, and beautiful than it seems on their site, and there's a wonderful view of San Gimignano (which is not showcased or even mentioned on their website). Rooms were rennovated and comfortable (except that it was quite cold and they don't turn the heating on... more

Do yourself a favour, and go experience Tuscany on this farm. The farmhouse is charming and the views of the vineyards and San Gimignano breathtaking. The owners are warm, loud and very Italian! Rooms are spotless, new and comfortable, with just enough of a rustic touch to remind you where you are. If you have had enough of sightseeing you can relax by the pool or go horse riding though the vineyards. The absolute best was the evening meal with the owners and guests seated around the dining table. After so many dinners with “just the two... more
