About this property

The owners Mario and Donella would like to offer you an unforgettable holiday in San Gimignano.

The accommodation
This unique and luxurious apartment is situated on the ground floor of a medieval building in the historic center and has its origins between 1100 and 1200. In the past it was part of the district of the old Convent of San Domenico, who later became old prison of San Gimignano.

The main feature that makes unique and special this apartment is the presence, in the historic center, of a large private garden, equipped with everything you need to be able to eat and relax, always green and blooming thanks to the care of the owners.

Guest access
The apartment, romantic and beautifully furnished, can host 2 people. We can provide you a cot for a baby. It is particularly suitable for a romantic getaway for couples.

It includes a large living room with full equipped kitchen, lounge area with sofa, bedroom, reading room and a luxury bathroom with large walk-in shower.

To welcome you on arrival Mario and his daughter Cristina will be happy to accompany you to the apartment and give you all the information you need and every suggestion possible to spend an unforgettable holiday in San Gimignano.

Other things to highlight
Located just 100 meters from the main Piazza Duomo and Piazza della Cisterna, allowing guests to enjoy the day among the numerous art galleries, museum visits, walks along the walls and the parlor of the squares that offers delicacies to try.

In the evening the town of San Gimignano, famous all over the world, still gives the evocative atmosphere of the Middle Ages with its lights dimmed and the local features which allow you to taste the typical products.

Staying in the Old Town is the best you could want from a holiday, everything is at your fingertips, quaint stores for shopping, restaurants, taverns, wine bars and bar .. Remember that the center is a pedestrian zone, calm and quiet.

Truly a magical place to stay!

All I can say is WOW! As other reviewers have said, I almost don’t want to write this post, because selfishly I don’t want more people to know about this place, but it deserves a 10 star rating. First, it is probably not for everyone. The location is inside the walls of the city so it takes extra time to check in and get situated. You will be greeted by one of Mario’s extremely kind and welcoming daughters who will escort you by car into the city for a quick unload of your bags and tour of the cottage. You will then drive back out of the walls of the city to your reserved parking place. From here you have maybe a 5-10 minute walk back to the cottage. That needs to be built into you planning for each of you subsequent day trips etc but we loved how it slowed us down and set the pace for our trip. We took time to just get lost in a village that most people visit for maybe half a day. The cottage itself is incredible. Every detail is well done, extremely clean and a seamless mix of modern comfort and ancient charm. We would have stayed all day in our little garden paradise with Mr. T the resident tortoise if there had not been so much to explore. The bed was firm but comfortable and the AC in the bedroom was a very nice treat at the end of a hot day exploring (though not always necessary as the cottage stayed pretty cool throughout the day). Thank you Mario, Cristina and Claudia for a holiday we will never forget. We can’t wait to return!!

Perfect sanctuary so close to the heart of San Gimignano

Fabulous apartment with a gorgeous tranquil garden. This was the final place we stayed during our visit to Tuscany and we certainly ended our holiday on a high. Would highly recommend.

Perfect Tuscany home

We could not love this house more! The house was just as pictured; unique, adorable, cozy and the perfect Tuscan feel. Cristina was so kind and helpful and the home has everything you need, including a 70 year old turtle to keep you company in the garden area. We would 100% recommend this place to everyone.
