The Castagnolo Country B&B welcomes its guests in a beautifully restored 19th-century stone manor, meticulously maintained to honor Tuscan traditions. Nestled on a hill just 3.5 km from San Gimignano, the property offers stunning views of the famous towers and the surrounding countryside, which is rich with vineyards, olive groves, and woodlands spanning ten hectares.

Each room, named after one of the city's historic towers, features shabby chic decor and is equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a TV. Some rooms include an outdoor patio or views of the garden and pool, while others can accommodate families or small groups, ensuring a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

The day begins with breakfast served in the garden during the warmer months, surrounded by ancient cypress trees and Mediterranean aromas. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy platters of local cured meats and cheeses, salads, and snacks, paired with selected wines and beers. Authentic experiences abound, including tastings of Vernaccia and Chianti made from the estate’s grapes, picnics in the vineyards or olive groves, horseback riding, guided trekking, e-bike tours, Vespa or scooter rentals, and private transfers to and from the airports.

The B&B also features a swimming pool with a sun terrace, a well-kept garden, and private parking, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking relaxation while exploring nearby artistic cities: Siena is 35 km away, Volterra 40 km, and Florence 50 km. It’s a perfect place to experience the true essence of Tuscany, amidst nature, delicious food, and warm hospitality.

Il Castagnolo Country B&B

Area Campagna

The Castagnolo Country B&B is located just a few minutes from San Gimignano, one of the most enchanting destinations in Tuscany and a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its medieval towers that dominate the city skyline. Strolling through the historic center allows you to immerse yourself in an untouched village, with its cobblestone streets, vibrant squares, and artisan shops where you can savor local traditions, from Vernaccia di San Gimignano to exquisite saffron.

The hilltop location of the property offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, characterized by vineyards, olive groves, and ancient cypress trees interspersed with small villages and Romanesque churches. In just a few kilometers, you can reach other Tuscan treasures such as Volterra, famous for its alabaster and Etruscan origins; Siena, with its remarkable Piazza del Campo; and Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance and a treasure trove of art and culture.

The area is also perfect for nature lovers and outdoor activities: the trails winding through the hills provide opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and cycling, amidst woods, vineyards, and landscapes that seem to be straight out of a painting. The surroundings also feature nature reserves and lesser-known villages that are rich in charm, ideal for discovering the authentic soul of Tuscany away from the more crowded tourist spots.

Therefore, a stay here allows you to blend relaxation and culture, with the chance to alternate between days spent exploring art cities and moments of pure contemplation of the Tuscan landscape.
