PODERE SAN LUIGI : A FARMHOUSE NEAR
SAN GIMIGNANO IN TUSCANY
This
property impresses at first sight with its superb location and
its wonderful garden, as you can check in the photos herewith
enclosed.
The visitor soon realises to be in one of the lovelies
parts of Tuscany, in an idyllic verdant oasis with several spaces
where
to relax under a shady pergola, near the splendid pool fringed
with flowering roses or around one of tables provided in the
garden for al fresco dining.
Set in "Terre
di Siena" on a hilltop between
San Gimignano and Certaldo,
you enjoy extensive views to vineyards, olive groves, fields
bordered by
cypresses, the extent of woods and isolated farms; the
classic hills of Chianti are under your eyes, with
their villages and Apennines mountains in the distance.
The
ancient natural stone farm house has been converted into five
charming and comfortable apartments: four for guests and
one at side used by the owner family.
Mario, his wife Annalinda and the daughter Valentina, the friendly owners,
are firm believers in maintaining tradition and have used traditional Tuscan
materials
in the renovation of the farm building, retaining the thick stone walls which
keep interiors blissfully cool, saving old windows, doors and terracotta floors.
Annalinda, an excellent cook, shall help you to learn how to prepare
Italian
food.
