Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, this apartment is the rural retreat you’ve been searching for. Sure, its traditional style may not suit everyone. In addition, the kitchen is basic – so don’t expect to be whipping up huge family feasts. That said, it’s all the more reason to indulge in delicious local cuisine – just head to San Gimignano. And, with a communal swimming pool and gardens, this home is the perfect place for basking under the Tuscan sun in pure peace.
