The Terrace overlooking the Towers | This charming stone property, located in a prime position, is a rare example of historic architecture, free from building restrictions, rooted in the same stones that built the towers of San Gimignano. From the four terraces, which together cover an area of about 50 square metres, and the small private garden, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the medieval town and the iconic towers, offering a unique experience in the heart of Tuscany. This extraordinary property, once serving as a watchtower for the defence of San Gimignano, is situated along the ancient Via Francigena, the lifeline of a bygone era. Steeped in centuries of history, it was transformed in the 1600s into an inn that provided travellers with respite, thanks to the mild climate, fine wine, and prized olive oil from the surrounding hills. The building is perfectly preserved, maintaining the charm of its era while incorporating modern comforts. Spread over multiple levels, on the ground floor the property consists of an entrance hall, a large dining room with access to a small private garden, a kitchen, a bathroom, a storage room, and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and private garden. On the first and second floors are three additional bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and panoramic terrace, offering maximum comfort. Electric cooling and heating, municipal water connection and also natural gas. Each room boasts spectacular views, spanning the towers of San Gimignano to the rolling countryside, a true slice of paradise, perfect for relaxing moments and admiring the ever-changing seasonal landscape. Today, this property not only retains the charm of the past but also reflects the touch of an artist. The owner, a painter and creative soul, has infused the property with his passion for art, painting each room in the vibrant colours of his works. The strategic location allows easy access on foot to the historic centre of San Gimignano, adding further value to the property, which combines tranquillity and accessibility. Additionally, the property includes a parking area and a separate annex, offering the possibility of creating an additional guest apartment or other facilities, enhancing its versatility.
