The
Mediaeval City of San
Gimignano is one of the great centres of the lovely region
of Tuscany.
Famous for its unique tall towers, the richness and history of its
architecture and art treasures, it is also a place where, since.
Etruscan times, people have known “how to live” and
where every season culminates in joyful celebrations, the Sagre,
the Saint’s Days, the grape-harvest and the picking of the
olives, the wine festivals. These local traditions are part of everyday
life. Every day brings its own joy and pleasure-from dining outdoor
in the evening (alfresco) to taking a siesta under the leafy branches
of an old oak.
The
Podere (Farmhouse)
The Podere Casanuova, a quiet hamlet on the outskirts
of San
Gimignano, is a 17 th century farmhouse (already listed
on the Leopoldino land registry), which has been restored to the
highest standards and restructured into self – contained apartments.
It offers every modern comfort jet retains all the period charm
of the original 17 th century buildings.
From behind the thick stone walls, it provides a quiet and peaceful
refuge, a place in which to retire to, from the heat and noise of
city life in an atmosphere of old world tranquillity.
This is pleace to come to relax and enjoy the magnificent view of
the surrounding countryside, where olive groves, woods, fields and
the towers of San
Gimignano mingle together in a patchwork of colours and
sunlight.
