The Mediaeval City of San Gimignano is one of the great centres of the lovely region of Tuscany. Famous for its unique tall towers, the richness and history of its architecture and art treasures, it is also a place where, since. Etruscan people have known "how to live" and where every season culminates in joyful celebrations, the Sagre, the Saint's Days, the grape-harvest and the picking of the olives, the wine festivals. These local traditions are part of everyday life. Every day brings its own joy and pleasure-from dining outdoor in the evening (alfresco) to taking a siesta under the leafy branches of an old oak.
The Podere Casanuova, a quiet hamlet on the outskirts of San Gimignano, is a 17 th century farmhouse (already listed on the Leopoldino land registry), which has been restored to the highest standards and restructured into self – contained apartments. It offers every modern comfort jet retains all the period charm of the original 17 th century buildings.
From behind the thick stone walls, it provides a quiet and peacefulrefuge, a place in which to retire to, from the heat and noise of city life in an atmosphere of old world tranquillity.
This is pleace to come to relax and enjoy the magnificent view of the surrounding countryside, where olive groves, woods, fields and the towers of San Gimignano mingle together in a patchwork of colours and sunlight.
