There is also a small closet, where cleaning products, brooms, stairs, folding chairs are placed.
The kitchenette is in light wood, Italian-style, with a four-burner kitchenette, appliances and full kitchen equipment.
The corridor leads to the functional bathroom, with toilet, sink and large walk-in shower. It is covered with white tiles and terracotta finishes from Impruneta. Intimate and comfortable this bathroom with heated towel rail.
Further on, here is the sleeping area, which develops into a large room with a central arch. In the first part, a sitting area with sofa that quickly becomes a double bed, and an orange smurf. There is a vintage 1950s radio, a niche-library with photo books and city guides, and a comfortable and functional chest of drawers.
The wrought iron double bed is spacious and comfortable. This is flanked by two nineteenth-century wooden bedside tables, with original lampshades from the house, as well as the large 18th century wardrobe, made of wood by hand.

About the host

Hosted by Ilaria Maltinti

Host profile image
I am Ilaria Maltinti, I am 55 years old and I live in Poggibonsi, a few kilometers from San Gimignano. I have been a Goldsmith and I have been creating jewels since 1984. Il Prunello house is the old home where my grandmother Nella, a Tuscan woman from another time, known in the country for her speed in household chores, lived up to 90 years.
I am linked to San Gimignano and to this house for my childhood memories of the time spent playing in the narrow streets of the city.

Why they chose this property

I decided not to sell this property because I love it for its simple style and for its exceptional location, set between the medieval walls and the famous towers of this village recognized by UNESCO. A year ago, in 2018, after having had several tenants, I decided to renovate the apartment and give the world the chance to enjoy a holiday in this charming apartment.

What makes this property unique

There are many things that make this home unique. First of all the position it has: under the Torre Grossa, visible also from our patio, a few steps from the Rocca di Motentestaffoli, from Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza del Duomo.
The house has very high ceilings with beams, rafters and wooden capitals dating back to 1100. The bedroom window opens onto Via Quercecchio and you can admire a part of the Torre Campatelli House, protected by the FAI
