Poggioluglio
in San Gimignano , Tuscany
- Close to San Gimignano
- Well-maintained
- Lovely grounds
Countryside calm reigns supreme at this pretty clutch of holiday homes just outside the walls San Gimignano.
It’s the view that captivates visitors when they first pull up at Poggioluglio. A jigsaw of rolling hills and tall cypress trees, it’s Italy at its scenic best. And in among the greenery stand the 13th-century towers of San Gimignano. Because that’s the other big pull of this particular property – it’s just outside the stone walls encasing one of Tuscany’s finest Medieval hill towns. You can be wandering the narrow streets within a matter of minutes.
There are three parts to Poggioluglio – a one-bedroom apartment, a cottage and a studio. The apartment is spacious and sleeps two or three. The interiors are a clever fusion of rustic and modern, with beautiful wood-beamed ceilings and, in the lounge, a fabulous panoramic window. The cottage also takes two or three people, with a double bedroom and a sofabed in the basement lounge, which you access via a small spiral staircase. Finally, the studio is a smaller, simpler base designed for two, with a bed in the living area.
All three options have terraces and barbecues. In terms of shared facilities, there’s a pool, which showcases the views to full effect, as well as a tennis court. It’s likely you’ll see the owners making the most of them, too. Together with their cats and dogs, they live in a separate house within the grounds.

Your guide to San Gimignano, Tuscany
"Known as the city of beautiful towers, San Gimignano is one of Italy’s most awe-inspiring hill towns. Its tangle of Medieval alleyways and winding backstreets are a joy to explore and the views from the steadfast 13th-century sentry towers are nothing short of breathtaking."
Almost unchanged since the Middle Ages, San Gimignano is one of Tuscany’s best-preserved Medieval towns. Surrounded by flame-shaped cypress trees and poppy-filled meadows, San Gimignano exudes an almost fairytale-like character, compounded not least by the thirteen 13th-century lookout towers that punctuate its skyline. Built to serve as both fortresses and symbols of aristocratic wealth, these tall, windowless towers have come to symbolise the town – so much so, in fact, that it has been affectionately dubbed the city of beautiful towers. Climb to the top of the soaring Torre Grossa and gaze out across the idyllic Tuscan hills and stroll through the quaint cobblestone streets to the 12th-century Collegiata. Its plain and rather unassuming façade belies its magnificent interior. One of the most frescoed churches in all Italy, the colonnaded central aisle is decorated in striking blue and white stripes, its indigo-hued vaulted ceilings are awash with gold stars. Vivid fresco cycles depicting Biblical tales adorn the walls – of particular note are the 26 split level episodes from the Old Testament which include the creation of Adam and Eve and Noah’s Ark.

We stayed in this Villa in October 2006. The Villa itself was superb, with breathtaking views, friendly atmosphere and brilliant location for visiting Pisa, Sienna, Voltera and Florence. Voltera and Florence were the most stunning places to visit... more on this review
