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 other thing we love is the pool, and those established gardens and shady loggia for alfresco mealtimes are another perk. 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.
