Il Coltro  

In the heart of the Tuscan countryside, a historic farmhouse-turned-apartment retreat just a 10-minute drive from San Gimignano’s medieval towers and about 4 km from the town center. Nearby highlights within easy reach include The SottoVico Garden, and day-trip access toward Florence sights such as Pitti Palace, Piazzale Michelangelo and Ponte Vecchio.

Rustic-chic apartments with wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and modern touches. Some guestrooms feature private pools, flat-screen TVs and luxury touches like down comforters and Frette-style linens. Kitchens come stocked with fridge, oven and stovetop for flexible self-catered stays.

Outdoor swimming pool plus garden views and barbecue grills for al fresco nights. Ping-pong and a solarium add low-key fun, while free on-site parking and pet-friendly rooms make stays easy. Laundry, private check-in/out and a safe-deposit box are on site.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and free self-parking. Multilingual staff (English, Italian, French) to help with practical needs and local directions.

Self-catered kitchens in each apartment and communal barbecue grills for cooking Tuscan ingredients and local produce. Ideal for travelers who prefer hands-on meals and authentic regional flavors.
