San Gimignano Luxury Country House apartment 6

(.... It is amazing how these people built their rural landscapes as if they had no other concern than beauty. (Cit)
With these words, the French geographer Henri Desplanques described how the beauty and harmony of the Tuscan countryside represented a unique phenomenon that is difficult to find anywhere else. The IL CASTRO estate with its numerous apartments, large green spaces and a panoramic swimming pool, fits perfectly into this harmony
Our guests will be welcomed in a unique context of its kind. The Castro was born in the thirteenth century as a rural village, on the via Frencigena, an ancient pilgrimage route. It is said that in the 16th century Michelangelo, on his way to Rome, stayed there for a few nights, being impressed by the ancestral beauty of the places. Today Il Castro opens up to international hospitality by offering 4 apartments finely recovered from a careful renovation in order to leave the signs of the past unaltered. The classic furniture, scrupulously decorated by local artisans is combined in perfect harmony with elements of fine design, giving a minimalist and refined effect. Extraordinary finishes in the bathrooms where the search for detail and the quality of materials transform the environment into something unique of its kind.
The outdoor space is truly extraordinary, located on the top of a hill, the view sweeps 360 ° offering breathtaking views, from the sight of the famous towers of San Gimignano, a medieval town declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the south, to the mountain range of Apuan Alps to the north.
