One Bedroom Detached House San Gimignano

La Cappellina is a lovely detached restored barn. Very nicely furnished, it is situated on two floors and located in a very convenient position just off a country road that leads to medieval San Gimignano only a 800m walk away, and enjoys beautiful views of the countryside from its garden and terraces.

Villa La Cappellina has been renovated to a high standard, with many original features of the house, such as terracotta floors and beamed ceilings retained and its large windows give a light and airy feel. Large glass patio doors lead from the front terrace to the living room which has a comfortable sitting area, with settee and television, there is a separate fully equipped kitchen, a shower room, and washing machine. Stairs lead to a first floor bedroom with double bed, and ensuite shower room. The owner has a added some family possessions creating a personal feel to the furnishings, and examples of her lovely crochery work are framed and adorn the white washed walls of the house.

At the front of the house there is a large terrace, the former threshing floor of the barn, which is furnished with table and chairs for dining alfresco, at the side of the house is a garden area and the second terrace at the rear of the house is a lovely spot for relaxing in the evening, whilst sipping a chilled glass of the local Vernaccia wine whilst watching the sun set over the vineyard covered hills beyond.

Villa La Cappellina is a perfect example of a well restored Tuscan barn now offering lovely accommodation, privacy and plenty of space for relaxing, in an excellent position in the countryside but so close to San Gimignano that the towns many historic monuments, craft shops, and restaurants can be explored on foot.
