Farmhouse in the heart of the Chianti area

[6396-null, 6398-null]
PROPERTY PHOTOS REVIEWS  

Situated on a hilltop that allows a 360° panoramic view including the famous towers of San Gimignano, the Fortezza dates back to at least the Xth century. After a long and thorough restoration, became an enchanting and unique residence exceeding 6,000 square feet.

The floors and ceilings in antique handmade tiles, the beams in chestnut, the arched ceilings and the fine medieval fireplaces, anything suggests the idea that here time has stopped.

The residence has a refined and exclusive atmosphere that still maintains the warmth of family-style management and the owners, who live in the property nearby, are available for any request or query.

The spacious building is enjoyable for a limited number of guests because it can host only up to 12 people and it offers 6 bedrooms: 3 queen rooms, 2 twin rooms which can be joined and a special flat.
