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,
