Dating back to the 14th-century, this former watchtower has since been restored into a rustic retreat offering stunning views across the hills of Tuscany. Consisting of three independent buildings (each with its own kitchen), you’ll find plenty of space along with an abundance of charm and character. Outside, the garden lends itself perfectly to weddings and intimate gatherings. Your host can also help organise a range of extra services – including yoga sessions, massage treatments and private chefs. From here, days can be spent lounging by the private swimming pool or out exploring the region – San Gimignano is just a fifteen-minute drive away.
