Tuscany Vacation Villas

The villa (sleeping 12+2) stands 300 metres above sea level atop a hill in Valdelsa, in a small village along the Via Francigena, near San Gimignano, in the province of Siena and commands the vineyards and olive groves that cover the surrounding hills and the town of San Gimignano with its famous towers.
Once a small Etruscan village (300-200 BC), San Gimignano experienced a period of wealth and splendour during the Middle Ages and in 1199 became a free commune. Following the Black Death Plague in 1348 and the subsequent drastic depopulation, San Gimignano experienced a period of crisis, which eventually led to its submission to Florence. In 1990 the town of the towers was included in the list of UNESCO`s World Heritage sites. San Gimignano is worldwide renowned also for Vernaccia, the famous white wine produced in this part of Tuscany.

The villa is an excellent lodging for various types of tourists: nature lovers can have long walks in the surrounding countryside; those who love art and culture can visit Colle Val d`Elsa, Monteriggioni, Siena, the whole Chianti region, Florence and other Tuscan tourist destinations; sporty guests can visit the nearby riding stable, tennis club and golf club.

The villa, an ex-farmhouse that has been recently renovated with an eye to maintaining its original structure, is surrounded by a fully fenced garden in which are a table-tennis table, the barbecue equipment and a wood-burning oven. The garden and the adjacent farmyard are furnished for having meals al fresco.
The private swimming pool (7.80x14.70 m; depth: 1.20-2.40 m) provided with night lighting system and external shower and furnished with deck chairs and sunshades is exclusively reserved to guests.
In an annex accessed from the garden are the billiard room, a gym and the laundry room.
