Originally a hayloft, Il Vecchio Fienile has
been carefully restored by its attentive owners,
and is now a beautiful detached house surrounded
by its own private garden, and with wonderful
views over vineyards and cypress groves towards
medieval San Gimignano visible in the distance.
Built on a slope, the accommodation is on three
floors, all connected by internal staircases,
but each floor actually opens on to an area of
the garden. The house is fitted and furnished to
an extremely high standard, great care has been
taken to preserve the original characteristics
of the house, there are slanted brick windows in
the spacious bedrooms, terracotta floors, beamed
ceilings and brick archways, all so typical of
Tuscan country architecture. The addition of 3
brand new shower rooms, one on each floor, and 2
fully equipped kitchens ensure modern comfort,
and marry perfectly with the classic furniture.
Both living rooms have comfortable sitting areas
with settees which can also convert to double
beds on request, and the lounge on the ground
floor also has a characteristic fireplace, a
specially commissioned
hand-painted mural
depicting the beautiful landscape, and arched
patio doors which open onto the large patio and
garden.
The house and its garden is in
a lovely position, just off the country road to
Ulignano, it is fully enclosed, and has its own
parking area. Il Vecchio Fienile provides very
high standard accommodation in a much sought
after area of Tuscany, it is only 2km from San
Gimignano and its selection of shops and
excellent local restaurants, and many of the
regions other sights are within easy driving
distance. Florence and Siena are both easily
accessible via main road and rail links from
nearby Poggibonsi, and Volterra, famous for its
alabaster production as well as its wealth of
historic monuments is only 30km away.
