Villa degli Allori

Location

The luxurious villa is located in the province of Siena, near San Gimignano, in the area of central Tuscany called Valdelsa.

Due to the fact that the Via Francigena - the ancient pilgrimage road connecting northern Europe with Rome - crossed its territory, in the past centuries Valdelsa, the region that stretches between Val di Cecina and Sienese Chianti, played a strategic role in the Tuscan road system.

The hills of Valdelsa, covered with vineyards and olive groves, are dotted with interesting medieval towns. The most famous are San Gimignano, declared World Heritage site in 1990 and renowned for its towers and the production of Vernaccia and saffron; Colle Val d'Elsa, the town that gave birth to the sculptor, architect and urbanist Arnolfo di Cambio, now known throughout the world for its crystalware; Monteriggioni, whose walls afford gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape.

A holiday in Valdelsa offers also the possibility of travelling along the so-called "Strada della Vernaccia di San Gimignano" at the discovery of the famous white wine, one of the food-and-wine specialties of the region.


Description

The elegant villa perched on a hill in front of the towers of San Gimignano was in origin a furnace for the production of bricks that was built in the first half of the 18th century.

A wide garden of about 3,000 square metres surrounds the building.
The beautiful swimming pool (12x6 m; depth: 1.10-1.50 m) is clad with stone. The built-in whirlpool bathtub can be used as a swimming pool for children. The swimming pool overlooks the surrounding hills and the towers of San Gimignano.
A loggia next to the kitchen is equipped with a masonry barbecue and furnished with a table and some chairs for alfresco dining.

Staying at the villa, guests will have the opportunity to taste the specialties of the local cuisine at the restaurant of a famous farm situated near the villa that hosts also wine-tasting events, and to buy the organic products of the farm.
