Testimonials

August 2019

Everyone and everything about our stay was wonderful. Federica, Andrea and Lorenzo were attentive, helpful and unobtrusive! We enjoyed their wonderful home and the amazing Tuscan countryside around San Giovanni d'Asso. The only negative was too many mosquitos and bug bites to make sitting outdoors in the evening as enjoyable as we may have liked.

Many thanks Lori for the help to get us off to a wonderful, memorable family vacation.

We chose to hire a car to take us (6 persons) from Rome airport to Siena where we rented cars. It was a very good decision, saving us a long drive after a long flight from NY. Ilario and our driver, Roberto fromIl Postolino della Val d'orcin car service were wonderful - timely, helpful, attentive. Well worth the investment.

Dear Lori and James,

We had a fabulous time and loved every second we were blessed with our visit to Casa San Giovanni.  Thank you for working with us through the reservation process and details related to the visit.

Frederica was a delightful hostess and immediately set the tone for our experience in San Giovanni D'Asso and the surrounding Tuscany villages.  We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class and thought it gave us a deeper sense of Tuscan cuisine.  The kids loved being part of the "class".
 
We hope someday we can revisit Casa San Giovanni.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Casa San Giovani this past summer. I can't even begin to express how utterly perfect it was. The hostess was beyond charming and the house and property were spectacular. My expectations were high - and was completely overwhelmed by it. I believe everyone shares in my thoughts.  It was just spectacular.  Grasia (the cook) was unbelievable as well.  We took a lesson from her and it was a highlight of the trip.  

The pool was perfect for the kids.  It was fairly close to every little town we wanted to visit.  

We look forward to going back to Italy again soon and would certainly use you all. Plus we like the fact that you are located right here in Philly.

The experience could not have been more "Tuscan".

Just thought I would share.

About this Villa

In the beautiful countryside of the Val d'Orcia, near the small village of San Giovanni d'Asso, lies Casa San Giovanni, an ancient farmhouse made of stone.

San Giovanni d'Asso is a charming little village in the heart of the Crete Senese, the unique and spectacular countryside south of Siena. Casa San Giovanni is equally unique and provides guests with the perfect blend of classic Tuscan style, fabulous views and contact with Italian life and luxury.

This large house is composed of two apartments, each one with a private entrance: the houses are connected by two doors, one on each floor that can be closed to separate them. This creates an ideal location for two groups of friends or families traveling together. Each apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen and living room to further insure privacy.

The entire farmhouse can be rented to 10-12 people or to individual parties, upon request. One apartment can accommodate 4 people, the other 6-8. If only one apartment is rented, the other part will be closed and not rented to anyone else to ensure privacy to the guests.

  • Electricity excluding a/c
  • Linens and bath and pool towels
  • Baby cot with linen and highchair
  • Initial and final cleaning
