Overview
San Leolino is a beautiful stone farmhouse with a private saltwater infinity swimming pool and air-conditioned bedrooms that sits on a hilltop near San Gimignano enjoying stunning views of Tuscan countryside with rolling hills, villages, farmhouses, beautifully kept vineyards and olive groves that melt into the horizon.
The medieval city of San Gimignano with its towers sits as a back drop to the large saltwater infinity pool set in the beautifully kept garden fitted with loungers and a shaded, stylish outdoor living area. Attached to the house is a dining area with large sun-sail for shade just outside the fantastic kitchen, ideal for al fresco meals overlooking the garden and the swimming pool and enjoying the never-ending views.
The interior of the house has just been refurbished, maintaining the original terracotta floors and beamed ceilings, fitted with air-conditioned bedrooms all with luxury en-suite bathrooms. Of course there is the ultra-modern kitchen on the ground floor leading out into the garden by the original bread/pizza oven and the shaded dining area. There is even a small gym which provides an extra touch of luxury.
San Leolino has a great location from which to visit most of Tuscany as it is half way between Florence and Siena with one of the most beautiful towns in Europe, San Gimignano, just minutes away as well as the Chianti countryside not much further away.
The farmhouse is part of a small group of houses scattered on the top of the hill called Casaglia, in the villa you can enjoy excellent meals, the owners' wife is a professional cook and our concierge team can organize fantastic meals for you, obviously based on your your preferences, and to be enjoyed in what must be one of the best settings in Tuscany

Maria who owned the villa made our stay the best ... she had great suggestions for the area, made us an amazing meal and was just lovely!! The furniture inside is old but we didn't mind as we spent most of our time by the amazing pool enjoying the view or out touring around the beautiful countryside.
