About this property
Tuscan house on vineyard hilltop tucked inside lush gardens
This private, quaint guest house is tucked inside the large Tuscan gardens of the 17th century farmhouse property. Enjoy walking through olive and lemon trees, roses, and herbs. Sits on top of a local Chianti vineyard with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, private kitchen, and outdoor patio to enjoy meals al fresco!
My artwork and paintings are available for sale at the property. You can see some of the pictures on our listing.
The guest house is perfect for 4 people, including a family with kids. The bedrooms both have air conditioning and heating, welcoming guests year-round. Guests will find an oven, stove, toaster, coffee maker, and all the essential items in the kitchen to prepare meals. Only a 3-minute drive from the local town of San Casciano to stock up on local Italian cuisine and wine to cook to your liking!
A separate entrance to this guest house maintains its privacy from the main house, where your hostess lives and is available for any questions during your stay.
San Casciano has a local town, only 3 km from the property. It's filled with shops, restaurants, and wineries that are all walkable to explore. Though a car is advised for getting around Tuscany, it is possible to enjoy this local scenery by foot and stroll into town for some afternoon gelato.
The location is very ideal for discovering all that Tuscany has to offer. The places we highly recommend spending a day in are Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, and Volterra. Each is filled with museums, restaurants, ancient ruins, and famous historical art and sites to see.
