San Romolo, Tignano - Barberino Val d'Elsa - Florence and Chianti

5 bedrooms 4 bathrooms 10 guests Private Pool

This restored farmhouse, less than an hour’s drive south of Florence, has much to offer. Its location in the gently rolling foothills of the Chianti guarantees a peaceful retreat, yet the glories of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra are within easy reach. From your private pool, which sits in a sheltered corner of the garden beneath the villa, you look out at a patchwork of olive groves, vineyards and woodland.

San Romolo’s five bedrooms – four in the main house, one in a charming studio annexe across the garden – can host 10 guests with ease. The villa will suit groups of family or friends equally. The single-storey studio, which has its own small terrace, living area and kitchenette, is ideal for any members of the group who would appreciate additional privacy. However, the villa’s double lounge with a TV area at one end, a kitchen-diner that opens on to a shaded terrace and a sunny poolside, all ensure that there are plenty of areas for shared downtime.

Our Thoughts
We think San Romolo has all the ingredients for a memorable holiday with the best that Tuscany has to offer. You are in a peaceful spot a short walk from the picturesque medieval hamlet of Barberino Val d’Elsa, where you’ll find several small places to eat and enjoy a drink, a van visits the house every day with fresh bread, you can even forget the hassles of traffic and parking and take the bus to Florence from nearby Tavarnelle. Shared al-fresco meals on the main terrace are sure to be among your most-valued moments.

Notes
Five bedrooms. Four bathrooms, one en-suite. Availability must be confirmed with the owner before we can complete a booking for this house.
San Romolo is attached to another villa, but its gardens, terrace and pool are not overlooked.
The owners can organise ayurvedic and shiatsu massages, as well as reiki treatments, for you at the villa.
On request, they can also provide a pre-arrival shopping service at no extra cost and/or book a nearby restaurant for dinner on the day of your arrival.
The baker’s van comes to the house every morning except Sunday. It parks at the gate and honks the horn. Guests must go out to meet the driver in order to buy bread.
The owner is friends with the staff at a local winery. This winery is not open to the public, but the owner can arrange a tour exclusive to guests at San Romolo.
Local trekking tours are available.
This property can be rented with or without the studio annex.
Up to 6 dogs are allowed at this property, as long as they are well-behaved and the owners clean up after them.
Horse-riding services are located 3km and are easy to book.

Pool
The pool, which has ladder steps to enter the water, has a terrace with 10 sunloungers and 5 deckchairs, as well as a small bamboo-covered pergola on the grass nearby. The pathway down to the pool is steep and can be slippery in cold or wet conditions. Guests must take care here. The pool area is gated and fenced but not pet secure.
Pool size: 12m x 6m, 1.6m deep. Open June to September, weather permitting.

Barberino Val d'Elsa, 2km away, is the nearest village, it is a small hamlet but there are shops there. There is another village, Tavernelle, which is 3km away where there are some restaurants and a supermarket. In the town Poggibonsi, 10km away, there is a large supermarket and wide selection of shops. An excellent restaurant that we recommend you try is La Fattoria, which is located just before Tavernelle

The owner is sorry to hear you could not find some items - there are cloths and oven gloves in a drawer in the kitchen. There is also a mop and bucket in the shed outside with all the cleaning materials. They always leave their phone number at check in so that guests can be in touch for any issues - large or small! Thank you for your review.

The owner has informed us that they are replacing all mosquito nets and fixing new ones to all the windows ready for 2015. They have also taken measures to address the problems with the cleaning.

The owner has checked and there is no problem with any of the beds. The showers are all working well but if all used at the same time it does restrict the hot water.
