the most beautiful landscapes that nature has to offer in the territory of
Siena, nestled in the beautiful setting of green expanses cultivated with
vineyards and olives, in the heart of the Val d'Elsa, between Siena and
Florence, and just 5 minutes from the historical centre of the famous
little town of San Gimignano. Originally a farmhouse, with the ground floor
used as a shed and shelter for animals, the house was subsequently enlarged
and renovated in respect of the original plan and in keeping with the
exquisitely Tuscan architectural tradition, where wood and terracotta are
the main features of all the rooms, rendered intimate and cosy by the
antique family furniture and by details evoking the rural history and local
traditions. Located on a hillside, the garden and the swimming pool look
out over a superb view, starting from the flourishing garden, that
stretches uninterruptedly toward the rolling expanses that unfold below and
then, finally, up to the soaring towers, symbol of a proud town protected
by strong walls, witnesses to a history of more than a thousand years: a
true masterpiece, magnificently painted by the brush of nature and by the
genius of man, in which the harmony of shapes and colours create a perfect
synthesis. Guests can relax in this oasis of peace and natural wellbeing
where they can enjoy the typical Tuscan countryside yet, at the same time,
make exciting trips to the main art cities of Tuscany such as Florence,
Pisa, Siena, Lucca and Volterra, as well as to the medieval villages in the
area, like Monteriggioni and Certaldo or the villages of the Chianti
territory – all within easy reach of the house. VILLA CATERINA HAS BEEN
SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF

and overflowing garden around the house, which includes a large assortment
of plants and flowers, gathered in a profusion of unequalled colours and
scents: pines, olives, cypresses and fruit trees dot the lawns which
alternate with stone-paved paths and bushes of roses and Mediterranean
herbs, delineating the set-up areas. Fragrant climbing plants, lemons and
beds of geraniums adorn every corner of the garden, inviting you to spend
your day in the open air: the pergola (in front of the living/dining room),
covered in trumpet vines, Virginia creeper and wisteria, is the ideal
setting in which to savour the culinary delicacies of Tuscany, and the
veranda in front of the house, shaded by climbing Virginia creeper, is
perfect for relaxing and enjoying a good glass of wine. Finally, in some of
