Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this villa nestled on a resort alongside two other homes, surrounded by landscaped gardens that are perfect for making the most of the Tuscan sun. Granted, its traditional interiors may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the location makes it easy to explore some of the area's most iconic towns. The private terrace is just the spot for alfresco breakfasts, and when the sun is high in the sky, you can sunbathe or swim in the communal pool. Location-wise, it’s around an eighteen-minute drive to the beautiful hilltop town of San Gimignano, or you can visit Gambassi Terme, just 5 kilometres away, for some authentic Italian cuisine and a spa experience.
