Once an old stone barn, this villa has been brought back to life and promises a serene stay in the heart of Tuscany. Sure, the traditional interiors may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you’ll find all the key ingredients for a comfortable stay here. We love the outdoor space, with sun-kissed terraces, a private pool, and far-reaching views across the hills – what more could you want? Location-wise, San Gimignano is a mere stone’s throw away. A visit to this historic town, with its iconic towers, is a must.
The Plum Promise
