La posizione in cui ci troviamo rende ogni scorcio visivo un "quadro dinamico" che cambia ad ogni ora ed ogni giorno. L' atmosfera della campagna toscana si coglie pienamente dentro e fuori dagli appartamenti permettendo di coglierne lo spirito senza tempo.
La cordialità, la semplicità ed il rispetto sono gli elementi che da sempre caratterizzano i rapporti tra le persone in questa zona e questo è ciò che cerco di offrire agli ospiti per permettere loro di sentirsi a proprio agio e di conoscere lo stile di vita locale. La cosa più bella del mio lavoro è cercare di contribuire ad offrire belle sensazioni e piacevoli ricordi e quando si percepisce di esserci riusciti è davvero una gioia, per questo ringrazio sinceramente tutti gli ospiti che mi hanno gratificato della loro visita.
Gli appartamenti sono integrati in una casa colonica ed arredati in stile rurale. Ci troviamo sulla Antica Via Francigena, ideale per chi ama il trekking e le escursioni in bici. A cinque minuti di auto, fuori o dentro le mura di San Gimignano si possono trovare ristoranti e pizzerie per tutte le esigenze, come anche a Certaldo che dista invece 10 minuti in auto. Oltre alle notissime mete del turismo mondiale Firenze, Siena, Pisa, Lucca che si trovano tutte a circa una ora di auto o di treno (con partenza da Certaldo) siamo vicino a Volterra (33 Km) Vinci (40 Km) con la casa natale di Leonardo da Vinci ed il più importante museo del mondo a lui dedicato ed ancora a poco più di una ora di auto troviamo Collodi con il Parco di Pinocchio che è universalmente conosciuto. Impossibile poi citare i Borghi le Chiese Romaniche ed i Castelli che si trovano nei dintorni e questo è davvero una piacevole sorpresa per che si muove godendosi i paesaggi di questa zona e si troverà ad ammirare bellezze inattese…...buon soggiorno!
