Tulip

Description from the manager

Two Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment San Gimignano

Tulip is a very pretty apartment in a restored farmhouse on a beautiful estate immersed in the undulating hills of the Tuscan countryside. The apartment is nicely furnished and has a lovely terrace for dining al fresco. Close by is the swimming pool which is surrounded by lawns and enjoys a magnificent view across vineyards towards San Gimignano in the distance.

Tulip is a charming apartment furnished in Tuscan country style. Original features such as beamed ceilings and terracotta floors have all been retained, whilst satellite television and air conditioning (payable locally if r...equired) provide modern comforts. The living room and the twin bedroom both have patio doors that open out onto the terrace, which is furnished with table and chairs for dining alfresco, or enjoying a glass of the local Vernaccia wine that the farm produces along with olive oil, fruit and honey, all of which can be purchased locally.

Close to the house is the beautiful swimming pool (12m x 6m), which is surrounded by lawns and enjoys a magnificent view across vineyards and olive groves towards the medieval towers of San Gimignano in the distance.

The estate which is in a lovely position close to San Gimginano consists of the main house which now forms four apartments, one in which the owner lives and the others which he rents, and a small detached building.

Tulip is very conveniently situated just over 1km from an excellent restaurant and halfway between the towns of Certaldo and San Gimignano both only about ten minutes drive away. At San Gimignano there are many historical monuments to visit, a good choice of restaurants, and lots of local craft shops whilst Certaldo has a supermarket, railway station and an interesting medieval quarter, birthplace of the famous poet Boccaccio and home of the important ?Mercantia? craft fair. Just 12km down the road is Poggibonsi with its rail and road links to both Siena and Florence making it very easy to visit Tuscany?s most important sights.

Parking is in the grounds close to the apartment. Breakfast is available on request . Breakfast must be requested at the time of booking and is payable locally.

  Fantastic

  Left on 11/03/2012 for a stay in August 2012
  
  

  We stayed in Tulip. It was very clean, very quiet and had a good view on San Gimignano. When we arrived we got a lot of information and a welcome drink. The apartment was very clean, and also the estate was very clean. It was a big three rooms apartment. The location was excellent, close to San Gimignano and halfway between Florence and Siena. The children liked the animals; a rabbit,a dog and two turtles. We liked the quietness and the view on the wineyards most.
