VILLA
SANTA MARIA - APT. LA MIMOSA |
|
| Description: |
| Villa Santa Maria lies next to a vineyard in a
tranquil and convenient position in the countryside equidistant (6kms) from the medieval
walled town of San Gimignano famous for its beautiful towers, and the town of Certaldo
with its hilltop medieval quarter, birthplace of the famous poet Boccaccio and home of the
important "Mercantia" craft fair. Only ten minutes drive away is the modern town
of Poggibonsi with its entrance to the Florence/Siena motorway. There are fine views of
the countryside and only a minute's walk away there is an excellent restaurant with a bar
and a terrace for alfresco dining. |
| There are a total of three apartments, Il Corbezzolo
and La Mimosa which are both on the ground floor of the villa and the apartment above
where the owner and his family live; you will find them friendly and helpful whilst not
intruding on your privacy. With care and much attention to detail they have very recently
converted and furnished both apartments to a high standard. The apartments take their
names from two flowering trees which are very common in the area and examples of which are
to be found in the villa's grounds. Il corbezzolo (strawberry tree) is found mainly in
wooded areas whilst la mimosa is a domestic tree which flowers in early March. It is a
tradition in Italy for men to give a sprig of its beauitful yellow blossoms to all the
women in their life on lady's day the 8th March. |
| Each apartment has its own private terrace enjoying a
pleasant view of the countryside. There is a new swimming pool (9.8m x 4.5m) furnished
with sunbeds and sun umbrellas. It is surrounded by olive trees and enjoys a beautiful
view of the undulating countryside; in the distance one can see the town of Certaldo and
its hilltop medieval quarter against a backdrop of the Appenine mountains. There is a
laundry room with washing machine for the use of the two apartments and each apartment has
its own barbecue. Parking is in the grounds close to the apartments. |
| Apt. Mimosa is a pretty apartment furnished to a high
standard in classic Tuscan style. The living room has large glass doors opening on to the
apartment's private terrace which enjoys a pleasant view of the countryside. The terrace
is furnished for eating outside with table, chairs, barbecue and sun umbrella. There is
plenty of space for relaxing around the swimming pool from where you can enjoy a fine
panorama. |
