Cottage Il Gelso is a semi-detached and renovated, house in the heart of Tuscany and features a lovely covered eating/relaxing area with a view over patchwork hills. While the cottage does not have its own pool, there is a good public swimming pool set back right across the road, so even a refreshing dip couldn’t be nearer. The car can be parked up and left, since, just outside the electric gates, there is a bus stop with frequent cheap services into nearby San Gimignano, just two kilometres away. All essential shops, banks and chemists can be found here of course.

Also, there is a bar and restaurant within walking distance. The entrance is private via electric gates that lead to off-road parking and a well maintained garden that is fenced
