Furnished most comfortably in traditional style it is a warm and inviting house, a splendid home for a memorable holiday. It is 5km by road (or 25 minutes by foot on the country path) to the picturesque village of Casole d'Elsa which has a bank, post office, shops, restaurants and bars. Casole d'Elsa, an interesting village with a rich and ancient past, rests on top of a tall hill commanding fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.

The villa has several outstanding features. Two lounges both with traditional wood burning fireplaces; one is on the ground floor and has a vaulted ceiling, large arched window overlooking the main garden and swimming pool and a glass door opening on to the side garden, whilst the other is on the first floor and has a beamed ceiling and door opening on to a covered balcony enjoying a beautiful view and with an outside staircase leading down to a patio. The large luxury bathroom on the ground floor has gold plated taps and jacuzzi corner bath. The luxury kitchen purpose built in traditional Tuscan style is a joy to cook in and is separated from the beautiful dining room by an archway; the dining room has arched windows, a vaulted ceiling and features a stone wall. The villa's charming apartment is on the ground floor and has its own private entrance. It is also furnished to a high standard with terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. The glass door of its living room opens on to a patio and the glass door of the kitchen opens on to a second patio overlooking the garden and the swimming pool.

The villa has its own private garden overlooking the beautiful swimming pool (12m x 6m) with jacuzzi pool. The garden has a terrace furnished with a pergola under which there are table and chairs for eating outside. There are plenty of sun loungers and sun umbrellas around the pool which is only occasionally used by the owners who live in a completely separate farmhouse next door to the villa. They are very nice people and whilst being friendly and helpful they will not intrude on your privacy. They are very proud of their villa and their own beautiful home and keep everything very well maintained. Four hours of cleaning per week are included in the rental price, on Saturday, for guests staying two or more weeks.

Parking is in the grounds next to the villa. The villa is well situated for visiting the most interesting sights of Tuscany being only 21km from San Gimignano, 'City of the Beautiful Towers' and 12km from Colle di Val d'Elsa 'City of Crystal', where you will find a large supermarket, lots of shops and restaurants, a country market on Friday mornings, a beautiful medieval quarter, and road and bus links to Florence and Siena making it fast and easy to visit these famous towns.

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.
