Description
Villa Le Ginepraie, a typical 17th century Tuscan farmhouse, with private chef and private restaurant only for the guest, stands on a knoll surrounded by hills, offering a superb panorama. Even though the location enjoys total tranquillity, it is in a strategic position between San Gimignano, Volterra, Colle Val d’Elsa, Siena, Florence and the sea, which can all be reached easily.
The private swimming pool and large garden encourage relaxation, sunbathing and reading, while the surrounding countryside offers a number of pleasant walks. In other words, Villa Ginepraie offers itself as a unique place to spend a restful holiday with your friends and family, only a short distance from Tuscany’s art, history and entertainment.
The three roomy apartments and the two bedrooms that make up the Villa are elegant, but warm and welcoming at the same time. They are equipped with all mod. cons. such as a dishwasher and satellite television, together with traditional features such as ceilings with massive wooden beams and terracotta tiles, fireplaces with baskets of firewood, stone archways and antique chests.
Outside, there is the laundry, as well as an old stone wood-fired oven

Further details
Villa le Ginepraie is idyllically situated in the heart of the Tuscan countryside only a few km from Volterra, San Gimignano, Colle Val d’Elsa and just a short drive from Siena, Florence and Pisa.
Volterra is about 12 km from the estate. This city, although small, is important and proud of its history. The stones and narrow lanes in this ‘city of wind and rock’ as D’Annunzio described it, betray the traces of a culture now displayed in the Museo Guarnacci, a virtual port of call for anyone visiting this corner of Tuscany.
San Gimignano is about 12 km and it is one of most famous cities in the world both for its medieval appearance ( fifteen of its original seventy-two towers remain) and for the vast number of art works contained in its churches, places and museums.
Siena is about 35 km and in its streets time seems to have stood still. It is easy to chart the different stages in the history of this unique city which appears frozen in a Gothic reverie; Siena is also famous for the Palio that recreate the atmosphere of the medieval city.
Monteriggioni is about 25 km. It was built by the Sienese in 1203 as the principal military stronghold guarding the border agai
