Two holiday apartments with garden and pool

Esterno_sud
This authentic traditional Tuscan farmhouse in San Donnino, Certaldo, has been tastefully converted into a residential villa composed of two totally separate apartments for holiday lets.
Apartment 1 on the lower floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen/living/dining room. It sleeps 4 people.
Apartment 2 on the upper floor has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large living/dining room and large kitchen. It sleeps 8 to 10 people in comfort.


At a dream location in Chianti mid-way between Florence and SIena, the house is tucked away in the rolling hills overlooking the Elsa valley.

San Donnino is a perfect starting point for visits to Tuscany's Unesco heritage sites and other nearby historic centres and market towns, and affords plenty of opportunities for discovering and enjoying the stunningly beautiful surrounding countryside. Distances: Florence (30km), Siena (35km), San Gimignano (20km), Certaldo Alto, birthplace of Boccaccio (10km).

The house dates back to the 17th century at least and some parts, such as the underground granary and stone foundations, may be mediaeval. Indeed, it is within the conservation area of Semifonte, the fortified city that was razed to the ground in 1202 by the Florentines.

The owners live on the site. We are British, are fluent in Italian and are at your disposal for advice and assistance with your stay in Tuscany, e.g. reservations, tourist recommendations and activities.

  • tastefully furnished and decorated rooms with original beamed ceilings and terracotta floors,

  • garden: vine-shaded terrace with a table and barbecue for each apartment, sun terrace, olive grove
  • swimming pool shared with the owners and one other apartment nearby, 9 x 4 metres
