General
From this handsome Villa the views extend more than 15 kms to San Gimignano - City of Towers - and also over many hilltop villages and hamlets. In a superior position the oldest part dates from the 13th century. Refurbished some years ago it was redesigned with large spacious rooms. A porticoed terrace - wonderful for eating in the shade - leads onto lawn and trees.

Location
Immediately below are the Estate’s olive groves where, to one side, a swimming pool enjoys vast panoramas. All furnishings are comfortable and the bedrooms lead onto a large veranda on the first floor. There are two sitting areas, divided by the dining room, so ample space is available for a large group. There is, of course, a telephone for guests’ use. The walled hilltop village of Monteriggione is only a quarter of an hour’s drive away, with two excellent restaurants. More restaurants are in abundance in the surrounding villages or on any route to Siena, Florence or San Gimignano - all within a half hour drive.
