This cottage for four is a delightful and luxurious getaway in the heart of Tuscany, very close to famous San Gimignano. The restoration and conversion of this building has been a labour of love from the owners who have created a well-equipped, spacious and romantic home with the most amazing views.
A large pergola faces east, giving long-reaching views over the Tuscan landscape, looking towards the hills of Chianti covered in dark green forests of evergreen oak, vineyards and olive groves and with hilltop towns perched on the rolling hills. Casa Andrea has a perfectly placed Jacuzzi Hot Tub: there's little better than sitting in the tub enjoying a glass of local wine and looking out at the joy-inducing view.
The house has an EV charger and very fast wifi, as well as underfloor heating, making the perfect spot to enjoy some remote working in luxury. During the summer the AC and cooling jacuzzi make it a great spot for a family holiday, with plenty of historic towns and landscapes to visit from the peaceful haven.
Casa Andrea is listed under the following categories:
The house is all on one level, with a large pergola covering an outdoor furnished area that faces the views. On entering the house you'll find a well-equipped kitchen to the right, and a living area on the left with a large L-shaped sofa. A central door leads to a corridor with a laundry and large shower-room on the left, and a double bedroom on the right with french doors that can open out to the gardens. At the end of the corridor is the master bedroom with an en-suite shower room on the left, and french doors leading out to the Jacuzzi and to the garden.
The grounds of the cottage are fenced and gated, with the hot-tub on a platform facing the wonderful Tuscan views. A gete from the road leads to a driveway that winds down to a shaded car port equipped with an EV charging port and solar panels on the roof. Beyond the fenced garden groves of Olive trees extend downhill before turning to vineyards dotted with trees.
Casa Andrea is set just to the eastern side of a ridge that leads up to San Gimignano, just 2 kms away. The house is perfectly placed for visiting Tuscany, with San Gimignano very close and Siena, the Chianti hills and vineyards, Pisa, Lucca and the Val d'Orcia all within easy reach.
The roads around Casa Andrea are beautiful and a pleasure to drive or cycle along; head north-west towards Pisa and you'll find roads that wind over and along the hills, with amazing views on both sides. Going east will quickly take you into Chianti, with bendy roads going through forests of evergreen oaks interspersed with vineyards and olive groves, while heading south will lead down the roads that formed the medieval pilgrimage route known as the "Francigena", the route taken by medieval pilgrims from Northern europe as they travelled towards Rome and then Jerusalem.

Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 5 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
