  • The two houses together can sleep 15 - even 16 if you pull out the 'pull-out' bed that's attached to one of the beds in the childrens' bedroom upstairs in the farmhouse villa; but it's also nice for just two families, or two couples. You are very near each other, but separate, and have privacy when you want it. It's perhaps worth pointing out that the farmhouse villa, situated as it is in the heart of Tuscany, only an hour's drive from Florence and even nearer to Siena, can be just as pleasant for fewer people. And of course there's the private pool to enjoy when you feel like it.

Notes: Although walking distance from the beautiful town of San Gimignano, the farmhouse villa and the second house, a converted barn, are set in their own estate of 17 acres in the heart of Tuscany.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in San Gimignano, Italy

The main house: The main house was built in the 19th century and is a picturesque, typical Tuscan farmhouse. The farm is still called by its original name of 'Docciola', which refers to the spring ('doccia') in the middle of the land which in all weathers produces pure and cool water. The living-room (30 x 20 feet) has an open wood-beam fireplace for burning wood in winter and spring, and is furnished with sofas, chairs and a large dining table. As mentioned above, there is now a brand new marble and terracotta kitchen with superb views, with doors leading to an outdoor terrace.

Bedrooms: Upstairs in the main house are four bedrooms, two have double beds and two have two single beds. On the same floor there is a large bathroom with bath and shower and toilet as well as a separate wc. There is additionally a double bedroom reached from the outside at the side of the house.

Barn: The barn has just been converted to a high standard. It is a traditional Tuscan building, restored and converted into extra self-contained accommodation. It consists of a kitchen, a sitting and dining-room, and two bedrooms. The smaller bedroom is on the ground level near the bathroom which has shower, basin, bidet and loo; the double bedroom, reached by a pretty spiral wrought-iron staircase, has a particularly lovely outlook across the fields.

Totally Relaxing Holiday

Lizards13 N Ireland
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had a fabulous family holiday here, eating outside at the large table with the fireflies dancing in the background was enchanting. There were 9 of us and plenty of space to accommodate everyone. The pool is a great size, the kitchen is very well equipped and the setting is divine.
The only drawback for us was the very steep walk into San Gimignano as we had a couple of persons with limited mobility, otherwise it was very well situated.
We had some wonderful meals in restaurants both in town and in the surrounding area as recommended by the owners. All in all a great place.
