This beautiful country house which origins can be traced back to medieval times, was once a convent which gave hospitality to pilgrims passing along the ‘Via Francigena’ to Rome. It has been carefully restored by its current owners with loving care and great respect for its unique architectural heritage. The house has been divided into ten one bedroom apartments including Il Caprifoglio described here and No 69 Il Papavero.

San Gimignano ‘City of the Beautiful Towers’ is only 12km away whilst a drive of 25km will take you to the Etruscan town of Volterra renowned for its craftwork in alabaster.
