Overlooking the famous ancient towers of San Gimignano, the property offers a unique atmosphere, capable of captivating those seeking authenticity, beauty, and intimacy. Its privileged location, historic character, and prestigious setting make it perfect both for experiencing an exclusive lifestyle and for offering guests an unforgettable stay full of charm and sophistication.
The stone building is a rare example of historic architecture, rooted in the very stones that built the towers of San Gimignano. From its four terraces, which together cover approximately 50 sqm, and from the small private garden, one can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the medieval village and its iconic towers, offering a unique experience in the heart of Tuscany.
This extraordinary property, which once served as a watchtower for the defense of San Gimignano, is located along the ancient Via Francigena, the former lifeline of travel in past centuries. It is a building that tells centuries of history, converted in the 1600s into a reference inn for travelers seeking rest.
The building is perfectly preserved, not subject to restrictions, and retains the charm of its era while offering all modern comforts. Spread over multiple levels, the ground floor includes an entrance, a large dining room with access to the small private garden, a kitchen, bathroom, storage room, hallway, and a double bedroom with bathroom and private garden. On the first and second floors, there are three additional bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and panoramic terrace, ideal for providing maximum comfort.
The property features electric heating and cooling, municipal water connection, and methane gas. Every room boasts spectacular views, ranging from the towers of San Gimignano to the gentle surrounding countryside—a true corner of paradise, perfect for moments of relaxation and for admiring the landscape as it changes with the seasons.
Today, this property preserves not only the charm of the past but also the touch of an artist. The owner, a painter and creative, has infused the rooms with his passion for art, decorating each space with the colors that characterize his works.
Its strategic location allows easy walking access to the historic center of San Gimignano, adding further value to the property, which combines tranquility with accessibility. Additionally, the property includes a parking area and a separate annex, offering the possibility of creating an additional apartment for guests or other needs, further increasing the versatility of the estate.
The property is located in San Gimignano, just 1 km from the historic centre, making it both tranquil and accessible.
