Casale il Giglio 13294  

In the rolling Tuscan hills just outside Monte San Savino. Minutes from the town centre and within reach of Florence highlights like Piazzale Michelangelo, Basilica of Santa Croce and Pitti Palace. A family-friendly, pet-friendly base for day trips to Siena, Florence and the Val d’Arno.

A cosy renovated working farmhouse split into spacious apartments with private 400 m² gardens. Expect terracotta and parquet floors, beamed ceilings, stone archways, wrought-iron beds and an open-hearth fireplace. Rooms vary but generally include showers and TVs; the owner lives on the property and the setting looks out over sunflower fields and Gargonza castle at sunset.

Shared outdoor pool (11 x 5 m, salt-electrolysis system; seasonal Apr–Oct) with an outdoor hot-water shower. Garden furniture, fenced private gardens, barbecue, table tennis, boccia and table football. Four guest bicycles, on-site parking and video entry phone. Elevator and accessible features available at the hotel section.

Free WiFi across the complex and on-site parking. Heating is available seasonally (Nov–Apr) and may incur a charge.

There’s a restaurant on the hotel side, plus a fully equipped kitchen in the cottage (oven, dishwasher, microwave) and a barbecue for self-catered meals. Local shops, a café and restaurants are about 5 km away, so expect classic Tuscan flavors and home-style cooking nearby.
