We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous family home set in the hills nears San Gimignano. Our host, Barbara, couldn't have been more welcoming or more kind. The home was built by her father and uncle and the craftsmanship was authentic and beautiful. The photos sold us on the house and yet we were still in awe as we looked around the home and stood gazing out the living room windows/doors. The rolling hills, neatly planted rows of olive trees and grape vines, as well as the city of San Gimignano are all part of the breathtaking vistas that great you each time you gaze out of the bedroom, kitchen, or living room windows.
If you love nature, there are purple martin nests under the eaves of the roofline where we were able to watch the birds teach their babies to fly. It was mesmerizing. There are chickens and roosters as well and Barbara's mother even brought a basket of fresh eggs for us!
The house is well appointed and had everything we needed to prepare meals at home as well as make fresh espresso.
In my opinion, Barbara's father could not have chosen a more perfect piece of property nor built a better house to showcase his craftsmanship, the beautiful Tuscan countryside, or the breathtaking silhouette of San Gimignano city.
There may be other houses to choose from for a Tuscan vacation, but for me and my family, this surpassed all of our dreams and we feel grateful for our time spent here!
