Nestled in the countryside, this homely farmhouse perfectly blends into its natural surroundings. Whether relaxing in the crystal-clear pool, exploring the nearby forest, or discovering the area's quaint villages, Villa Fascino has everything you need to have a fantastic break.

Exposed wooden beams, terracotta tiles and stone walls give this villa an authentic feel while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Large open windows offer sweeping views of the lush greenery, lighting up the rooms with the Tuscan sunshine. The villa is made up of four apartments, each tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings, offering extra privacy, which is ideal for those larger groups.

Villa Fascino is enclosed by extensive, well-manicured gardens, providing plenty of space to relax and unwind in the beautiful outdoors. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the inviting pool before chilling out with your favourite book on one of the surrounding sunbeds. The pergola, entwined with foliage, offers a dreamy place to dine in nature but shaded from the sun. Indulge in home-cooked spreads while admiring the picturesque views of the countryside.

This gorgeous farmhouse is tucked on the edge of a forest amongst rolling hills and vineyards, providing ample opportunities for hiking or cycling. The nearest commune is a ten-minute drive away, where you'll find a supermarket for any supplies you may like to purchase. Imagine the commune's history as you walk through the old town, dotted with remnants of ancient castle walls.

Drive around half an hour to reach San Gimignano, a stunning medieval hilltop town in the heart of Tuscany. It is renowned for its striking skyline, dotted with towers built by noble families during the Middle Ages. Explore the town's picturesque streets, lined with quaint shops, cafes, and restaurants. There are many lovely historical sites to discover, such as the Collegiate Church, its beautiful frescoes, and the Palazzo del Popolo, a 13th-century town hall. You can also indulge in wine tasting at the local vineyards or take a cooking class to learn about traditional Tuscan cuisine.

Casciana Terme, located just forty-five minutes away by car, is the ideal place to unwind and recharge. The town is renowned for its natural therapeutic spas that feature hot springs infused with minerals known for their healing properties. Immerse yourself in the thermal baths, try mud therapy, or relax with a massage. Those with interest in history will appreciate the town's lovely streets, lined with old buildings, such as the medieval castle of Lari, the 18th-century Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, and the Romanesque church of Pieve di San Giovanni.

Please note that Villa Fascino is actually located in the region of Tuscany but is very close to the San Gimignano border.
