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.
