Built into a hillside this magnificent old house has dense forest to the front and spectacular views to the side and rear which continue into the distance for miles. With screens to all windows, the rooms are furnished mainly in antiques which have come from around the world. Because the tiled ceilings are high, extra space has been created in many rooms by inserting overhanging platforms. It is on two levels but has ground floor entrances on both.

A delightful cottage in the grounds allows extra accommodation but only for the same party as has booked the Villa. There is also a laundry room. La Verina is located 12 kms from San Gimignano (2 kms of which are on unmade road). From San Gimignano it is 42 kms to Siena and 56 kms to Florence. Th
