The unique vacation farmhouse is structured in the
hillside of San Gimignano that commands a view over
the tennis court. The farmhouse is both unique and an
unusual building because originally it was a terracotta
and brick factory. At the lower level where the tennis
court is situated, this farmhouse offers a playhouse
for children. The farmhouse has two separate entrances.
The main entrance is from a paved, furnished terrace
from the level above the tennis court. A path leads
from the terrace down to the tennis court also. The
entrance opens out into a small living room with an
open arch that leads into the eat-in kitchen with a
gas stove and a fridge. A flight of stairs leads from
the living room to the first floor landing. A door in
the landing opens into a well furnished and bright twin
bedroom. A second door in the landing opens into a small
but complete bathroom with a shower that is ideal for
children. A third door opens into another twin bedroom
with a door that in turn, opens down one step into a
spacious and airy double bedroom with a fireplace. A
single bed can be added on request in this bedroom.
The two twin rooms can be added on request to this bedroom.
The two twin rooms can also be made up into doubles
upon request. A door in the double bedroom opens onto
a short flight of stairs that lead up to a landing with
a door on the right to a complete bathroom with a shower.
A door on the left of the landing opens outside onto
a small loggia from where you can go up a few steps
to the lawn that is at the same level as the other farmhouses.
The double bedroom has its own access without having
to go through the single bedroom. This farmhouse has
electric panel heating. It is simply but comfortably
furnished. It can also be rented for groups of 6 people,
