Town: Gambassi Terme
This ancient property dates back to 970. Here in 1308, in the presence of officials from Florence, Pisa and Volterra, the official borders of Volterra and San Gimignano were defined. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has often stayed here during his travels in Tuscany. The property is situated on a hilltop and dominates all the nearby valleys with views that extend as far as the eye can see for tens of kilometres. The surrounding countryside has several acres of forest with oak-trees and cypresses interrupted by wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves.
The property has been completely renovated and is composed of the Mansion house and 14 independent apartments with their own private space to eat outside.
While the villa has its own private swimming pool, guests in the apartments share a large, beautiful swimming pool (20x10 metres), situated in a sunny and panoramic position.
At only 200 metres from the property you will find a typical Tuscan Trattoria where you can snack and buy local products. Take away service by the restaurant.
Extra services include:
delivery of fresh bread every day except Sundays. (During the summer only)
Italian language courses for small groups (minimum for 4 people)
guided trekking
laundrette
tennis, golf and horse-riding at 8 km
