The Santa Lucia apartments are
situated in a newly renovated barn just 2.3 kms
from San Gimignano, on the road that leads to
the small hamlet of the same name. The barn is
divided into just two lovely apartments, both of
which have been fully restored to a high
standard with careful attention to detail. The
furnishings and fittings are all brand new,
however the original characteristics of the
building, such as slanted brick windows in the
bedrooms have all been retained. Both apartments
are furnished in Tuscan country style, each one
is refreshingly different from the other, and
each have gardens with lovely views over the
valley below, crisscrossed with vineyards and
olive groves. Although Santa Lucia is a tiny
hamlet, it boasts the local public swimming pool
(normally open mid June to beginning September),
and tennis courts both of which are only 5
minutes walk from the apartments. There is a
local bus service to San Gimignano running
hourly from 8.00 ? 20.00 or you can take a
leisurely walk towards the town, where there are
spectacular views of San Gimignano. In fact
along the panoramic road there are view points
with benches so you can sit and enjoy the
contrast of the green countryside, against the
deep blue sky and the 'terracotta coloured' city
of the medieval towers rising above. Santa Lucia
is an ideal location from which to explore
Tuscany, only 2.3 km from San Gimignano and its
shops, supermarket and restaurants, and only 30
minutes from Etruscan Volterra, whilst
Poggibonsi with its road and rail links is only
13 km away. Parking is in the grounds. The Santa
Lucia apartments are also a good choice for a
larger party, together they sleep 4 persons with
the possibility of sleeping an extra 2 persons,
and have a communicating door between the two
apartments.
Gelso, which takes its name
from the mulberry tree close to the apartment
has been very recently restored to a high
standard. The apartment is bright and airy with
good quality furnishings and fittings. The
living room has a cool air, with a lovely pale
blue kitchen area, dining table and chairs and
settee which converts to a bed on request to
accommodate a third
person. The locally tiled shower room is brand
new, and the comfortable bedroom still retains
the original slanted brick decoration on its
windows. Gelso also has air conditioning a great
bonus in the heat of the summer. The patio doors
from the living room lead to the apartments'
garden which enjoys a lovely view of the
countryside and the vineyards in valley below.
The garden has table and chairs, gazebo and sun
recliners and is a pretty spot for dining
al fresco or just relaxing and enjoying warm
summer breeze whilst drinking in the lovely
Tuscan countryside.

PARKING
in San Gimignano: The parking in San Gimignano is all round the
historic centre (access to the historic centre is for residents only). Residents cannot
park in town unless they have their own private parking space. They also have to park
outside the town. Most of the public parking is in pay car parks. These charge by the hour
and are quite expensive. We are able to offer you to park in a private car park at
the price of Euro 25 per week. The use of this car park is not obligatory. If you
decide not to use this car park, you will not have to pay this parking fee. There is free
car parking on the outskirts of the town. You will need to watch the signs carefully as
parking is restricted or not allowed at certain times (e.g road cleaning, local markets,
school pick up times etc). These parking areas are further from the property you are
renting (approx 10 - 15 mins walk) than the private car park we are offering you. Let
us know at the time of reservation if you would like a space in the private car park. The
fee of 25 Euros will be payable locally to the owner of the car park. |
