Villa Celli Montelopio di , nr San Gimignano,

Sleeps 11 guests, 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms

DESCRIPTION

Villa near San Gimignano - Villa Celli is located on the outskirts of the medieval village of Montelopio, a short walking distance from the local trattoria, in a lush, verdant landscape dotted with olive groves, vines and sunflowers.

Dating from the 18th century, this former farmhouse has been restored with great attention to detail. Original features such as the terracotta floor tiles, chestnut wood beams and stone walls provide a most welcoming environment. A former dovecote now provides a tower feature at the top of the house which affords a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape.

This area is rich in history, art and culture. Volterra, Certaldo, hometown of the great poet Boccaccio, Siena and Florence all make for interesting days out; even the journey to these wonderful old towns through this beautiful landscape will be a pleasure!
