Terra Cotta is an ancient complex in Tuscany once belonging to a noble Italian family. A manor house and 15 apartments have been restored into beautiful Tuscany vacation rentals and furnished with modern conveniences including air conditioning.

Location

The estate is situated in a beautiful hillside position halfway between Poggibonsi and San Gimignano, 30 minutes from Florence and Siena. From the main road there is a 2km-long dirt road which leads to the property. A ten minute drive will take you into town where you will find all shops and services. Distances: 5 km Poggibonsi, 4 km San Gimignano, 30 km Siena, 40 km Florence.

Property Details

Guests may enjoy the beautiful and well equipped outdoor spaces including covered terraces, pergolas and lounge chairs around the panoramic swimming pool (8m x 6m). There is a wine cellar and indoor/outdoor restaurant located on the estate offering guests the opportunity to sample typical Tuscan dishes and local wines on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Friday evenings.

Given the structure of the house, the antique furniture, the absence of equipped areas suitable for play, parents must pay special attention to the children present; this is to guarantee a peaceful and serene holiday for all guests.

Apartment on the ground floor; 485 sq ft.
There is a living/dining room with kitchen corner equipped with freezer and microwave oven/grill, 1 double bedroom, 1 bathroom with shower.

On request for an additional charge: housekeeping, extra linen change, pool towels, use of the laundry facilities, baby bed, dinners in the restaurant, mountain bike rental, guided tours of the nearby cities, cooking and pottery lessons. Please note that arrivals after 8 p.m. will not be accepted. Air conditioning is available and included in the price from June – August. A wi-fi connection is available at the reception.
