Detached Cottage with pool

One Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment San Gimignano Il Granaio is a pretty detached cottage on a lovely estate close to San Gimignano, it has a large private terrace with pretty views of the medieval town silhouetted on the hillside and a few steps from the house is a pretty swimming pool.

Light and airy, this pretty cottage enjoys a delightful atmosphere. Il Granaio has all its accommodation on the ground floor below there is only a basement floor and at the rear a storage barn. The cottage is comfortably furnished and has a large private terrace shaded by a pergola which to one side enjoys a lovely view across the beautiful countryside to the towers of San Gimignano. The terrace is furnished with table and chairs for dining outside whilst there are sunbeds around the lovely swimming pool (14m x 6m )which also enjoys a fine view.

The living room has a traditional wood burning fireplace, glass doors opening on the terrace and a large window also enjoying the splendid view towards the medieval town. A barbecue and a utility room with washing machine are available for communal use and parking is in the grounds near to the cottage. The owner and his family, who are present most of the time, are friendly and helpful whilst not intruding on your privacy.

Composed of two traditional Tuscan farmhouses and a cottage, Il Casolare is divided into seven apartments including the owner's apartment, Il Granaio described here, and No 29 Le Volte. Although immersed in beautiful countryside the estate is only 3 km from San Gimignano, and within walking distance of the historic Romanesque Church of Cellole and its stately cypress trees. Only 20 minutes drive away are the Castelfalfi country club with its splendid golf course and San Vivaldo where you will find in the woods ‘Jerusalem in Tuscany’ a medieval reproduction of the sanctuaries of Jerusalem. Just 14km away is the town of Poggibonsi with its rail and road links to Florence and Siena making these famous Tuscan towns easy to visit.

Amazing surroundings
We loved our stay at this property in the beautiful Tuscan hills. Our apartment was well equipped, but could be improved with the inclusion of some bowls. Our host was fabulous and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel like a part of the family.

It’s not a detached cottage
The place was immaculate. But is advertised as being detached. Unfortunately it is built on top of another property and 10 meters away from all other properties facing directly onto 5 other virrandas. No privacy is available and this was very disappointing. Badly advertised

The cottage was lovely. I wasn't aware that this was on a complex with at least 12 other families.
The accommodation was fine but we were mislead on the the fact that we were not made aware that the cottage was on a complex with at least 12 other couples / families which lead to the swimming pool being somewhat crowded at times. We were charged 25 euros for a so called cleaning charge even though we left the accommodation clean and tidy, this I feel should only be charged if the place is left in a poor state. The surrounding area was beautiful, the region is well worth a visit.

Relaxing holiday in a welcoming atmosphere,
First impression of The ‘cottage” although basic it had everything we needed during our stay.and the owners provided excellent service for anything we needed. All towels and bedding were laundered each week and they provided additional pool towels for us. The pool itself was sited in a garden setting and was cleaned regularly and there were plenty of sun beds and umbrellas. The farm location was at the top of a hill and provided great views of the surrounding countryside, and only a short distance from the town of San Gimignano.

Excellent apartment
We were delighted with our stay at Il Granaio. The apartment was excellent: clean, comfortable, beautiful environment. There were many amenities nearby. The welcome was warm and the owners very friendly. Your agency offers quality service and the apartment is consistent with the description of the web. The information provided for the flight arrival were very helpful. For an upcoming trip to Italy, we will not hesitate to contact you again.
