Casa Florio Beautifully restored 16th century apartment close to San Gimignano.

Casa Florio, No. 7, Torrichi, is a 2 bedroom apartment (upstairs apartment) incorporated into an ancient farm comprising 12 beautifully renovated stone buildings . Designed in traditional Tuscan country style with chestnut beamed ceilings and terracotta tiled floors. It is light and spacious with doors leading from the well equipped kitchen/lounge to Master bedroom with 4 poster king-size wrought iron bed and large wardrobe. Bedroom 2 has 2 single wrought iron beds and a wardrobe. There is fully equipped shower room with power shower, sink, bidet and washing machine. There is also a double sofa bed in the lounge.

The shared swimming pool has its own sunbathing terrace, lawns and gazebo with breath taking views. The hillside breezes offer a refreshing respite from the heat - ideal after a day of sightseeing.

The apartment's private garden has a brick built BBQ and patio area for al fresco dining beneath a pergola. As you walk through an arch, near the featured well (closed in), there is a small seated terraced area to enjoy watching the stunning sunsets.

Not wheelchair accessible, and not best for people unable to walk up stairs.

Lovely cozy house with a stunning view
An absolutely amazing experience. The location is unbelievably beautiful. The house was perfect for our 4-day stay in Tuscany. Close enough to the sights to not be an inconvenience, but also far away enough to get away for some peace and quiet. The host was courteous and gladly answered any questions with haste.

Traumhafte Lage inmitten der Toskana
Die Unterkunft liegt etwas abgelegen inmitten des Toskanischen Hügellandes und befindet sich in einer Anlage bestehend aus drei Häusern (mit mehreren Wohneinheiten). Die letzten 1,5km zur Unterkunft muss man über eine Kiesstraße zurücklegen. Die Anlage selbst ist top gepflegt und vergütet über einen schön angelegten Garten und einen Gemeinschaftspool. Für die Wohnung stehen zwei Liegen am Pool bereit (Einziger Kritikpunkt: vier Liegen wären besser, bei einer Unterkunft für 4 Personen). Da aber nie alle Liegen besetzt waren, haben wir uns immer welche von den Nachbarn ausleihen können. Die Wohnung ist schön eingerichtet und man hat alles (Besteck, Gläser, Geschirr und die wichtigsten Grundzutaten), um sich selbst zu versorgen. Auch ein Grill steht zur Verfügung. Zusammengefasst: Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
