Marble & Olives

Tucked away in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, this apartment is the rural retreat you’ve been searching for. Sure, its traditional style may not suit everyone. In addition, the kitchen is basic – so don’t expect to be whipping up huge family feasts. That said, it’s all the more reason to indulge in delicious local cuisine – just head to San Gimignano. And, with a communal swimming pool and gardens, this home is the perfect place for basking under the Tuscan sun in pure peace.

Home truths:
*While the bathrooms aren’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*You'll have access to the communal swimming pool and gardens here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between 26th May and 30th September.
*Single beds may be pushed together to form a double.
*Your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*There's free on-site parking here.
