Podere Benintendi

Podere Benintendi is a true gem in the heart of Tuscany. The stunning views of the countryside, and the exceptional breakfast made our stay unforgettable. The property is well-located, beautifully kept landscape and very clean and nice interiors. The medieval town of San Gimignano is just a short drive away. The staff was warm and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Our dog enjoyed playing with their golden retriever Riva. I highly recommend Podere Benintendi for a relaxing and memorable Tuscan getaway.

There is probably no better place to stay in Tuscany than this lovely place about 40km from Firenze. San Gimignano is about 20min drive away. Also Pisa and Lucca are reachable...
But forget about all this: this little paradise will let you recover from all the problems around. Tuscan nature around - great breakfast - gym with all the basics you need - lavatory in case you need to wash - great pool... i cannot mention everything... you should plan to stay more than just a night. Deserves more than 5 stars! 💚🤍❤

Compound is in a great location (on top of a hill) and have a wonderful 360 view of Tuscany. It is located just 5 minutes from the nearest town (Certaldo) that have lots of restaurants and supermarket as well as nice places to visit. The staff are lovely and will take care for all of your needs. The room is well equipped, with stove, fridge, full cooking set, dinner table, cable TV and a large bed. There are common areas for all of the rooms, including swimming pool, gym, professional billiard table and a very rich mini bar. There is also a large garden with ponds which is very romantic for morning walks. Many sitting spots are spread in the area that allow you to relax and enjoy the serenity. Breakfasts are included and dinners are optional (involving extra cost). Everything is homemade and very tasty.
We stayed here for 5 days and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!

Excellent service. A well-kept and spacious place with nice corners and an amazing view. Excellent breakfast with special cakes. Family run

This was one of my favorite accommodations in my Tuscany trip because it was so unique! It’s located close to Certaldo a medieval hamlet in the heart of the Val d’Elsa which is incredibly charming and worth spending a few hours in. It is also where the famous Italian writer Boccaccio (author of Decameron) was born. Bocaccio was a great fan of Dante Alighieri, and our room in Podere Benintendi was inspired after Dante! Some of his books were displayed as well as a drawing of his unequivocal face profile on one of the walls and a quote from Dante’s Paradiso on the other. The room has unique pieces of decoration such as an amazing chair-nigh-table-and-lamp piece of furniture. When I woke up here and peeked through the window and couldn’t believe my eyes! Podere Benintendi is located at the top of a hill and in that foggy morning, we were sitting above the clouds. The view was unbelievable and I felt so blessed of having been able to experience it. After documenting that enchanting morning through photos and videos, we went to the lobby for breakfast which was extremely complete with lots of home made delicacies and many options to choose from. We then spent the morning exploring the estate as there is a lake, an aromatic herb garden, and nice quaint corners with sculptures or fun details spread allover. There’s also a pool, a gym, a billiard room and a shop where they sell their self branded wine, limoncello, marmalade and olive oil at very competitive prices.

Place is very nice and the staff are very warm and kind.
Location have a good panoramic view but is far from highway, you need too long time to reach the atraction.

Amazing location. Very relax environment.

We enjoyed every moment! Thank you! 💗

Awesome place to stay. Couldn't ask for more.

Amazing place! Paradise on earth! Beautiful people

Beautiful place atop a small hill near to Certaldo.

Gorgeous views, location & service.

Absolutely perfect.

Tipico Podere Toscano .Tutto ben curato , proprietari gentilissimi e molto disponibili. Belle persone , ti senti come a casa propria . Che altro dire . . . Se lo scegliete di sicuro non sbagliate. Dino e Gemma.

Agriturismo molto bello, tenuto bene. I proprietari sono gentili e ci hanno accolto cordialmente dandoci informazioni sui posti da visitare. L appartamento è pulito e grande. Peccato per il bagno non finestrato. All'ingresso dell'appartamento c'è un tavolo dove si può mangiare fuori nelle giornate soleggiate. C'è la piscina, penso sia aperta in estate. La vista sulla campagna è rilassante. Letto comodo, con doppi cuscini. La cucina è attrezzata.

Agriturismo meraviglioso in cima ad una collina, con piscina con vista e giardino curatissimo. Il personale è gentile ed ospitale, le camere sono pulite, accoglienti, spaziose e silenziose. La colazione è ricca e piena di prodotti squisiti preparati localmente. È stato un piacere soggiornare qua e certamente ritorneremo.

Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans ce magnifique établissement, le service, l emplacement et la chambre, le petit déjeuner étaient a la hauteur de ce lieu magnifiques, le service parfait, la literie parfaite, nous nous sommes régalés et avons pu profiter a 100 % de ce paysage magnifique, je recommande véritablement cet endroit qui nous a enchanté et reviendrons pour un prochain séjour
Merci pour votre accueil
A très bientôt

Un gioiello tra i cipressi nella quiete delle colline toscane: tutto molto curato tra vialetti, siepi, piscina, colazione romantica, da cui traspare la profonda dedizione della gentilissima e disponibile famiglia proprietaria. Boccaccio: delizioso appartamentino per 4, comodo e spazioso. Da rivivere senz’altro.

Mi associo a tutte le recensioni 5*, siamo vicini alla perfezione. Luogo stupendo e bel valorizzato. Una pace assoluta, camere ampie profumare e belle, davvero. Colazione ottima e servizi sempre disponibili. Lo consiglio e ci tornerò di sicuro in estate, per poter usare la piscina.

Vorrei dare più di 5 stelle ma non si può.
Luogo incantevole, una vera oasi di relax. L'unico problema? Non esserci stato di più.
Io e la mia ragazza siamo stati due notti sulla camera Dante che era perfetta: pulita, aria condizionata, tv nuova, bagno bellissimo. Tutti i servizi aggiuntivi e compresi sono un valore aggiunto non da poco, abbiamo usufruito solo della piscina però c'erano molte cose interessanti. Grande giardino fuori, panorama mozzafiato da bordo piscina. Colazione con una grande scelta e tutto buonissimo! Che altro dire? Ci tornerò di sicuro.
Consigliatissimo.
