Set in the rolling Tuscan hillsides, with the towers of nearby San Gimignano in full view, the setting of this hilltop farmhouse is one-of-a-kind. Inside, the quietly elegant interiors allow the window's vistas to sing, and the mezzanine desk space will be handy for anyone planning to work. The only thing missing is a private pool, but those established gardens and shady loggia for alfresco mealtimes make up for that. Location-wise, the medieval village of Certaldo Alto is a four-kilometre drive for evening meals and to pick up essentials. And when you're ready to hit the Tuscan city hotspots, jump on the train at Certaldo – you'll be there in no time. Home truths: *This home sleeps six guests, with the last two guests sleeping on two sofa beds on a mezzanine level. This isn’t the most private of spaces, so it won’t suit everyone. The second bedroom has twin beds which can be made into a double if you’d prefer. Just request with your host in advance. *One well-behaved dog is welcome to join you. *Due to this home's rural location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay, and there is ample parking space outside on the private driveway. *Your host will greet you to help you settle in. *Your host may be able to accommodate a later check-in time after 7pm upon request. *A cot, high chair, stair gates and baby bath can be provided for little ones on request.
