Relais San Gimignano Siena Tuscany Holiday Rentals in Italy

Property description

This imposing apartment is in the very heart of the medieval town of San Gimignano with its shops, restuarants and cafés. It has been restored to a high standard with attention to maintaining its character as the medieval post office of the town, infact the current post office is to this day nextdoor in the same building. In the entrance hall is a well dating back to the time the building housed the post office's team of horses. The apartment's private entrance is next to the cathedral and from here looking to your left you will see, as illustrated above, the Piazza dell'Erbe with the "torri gemelle" the twin towers which were built in 1200 as a symbol of the power of the famous Salvucci family and looking to your right you will see the entrance to the La Rocca hilltop park where you can relax amidst the tops of the towers and enjoy the most fantastic panorama of the surrounding countryside. The centre of the park is surrounded by medieval walls which once contained the summer residence of the powerful Medici family. The park is a very special place, you will always find here in some hidden corner an artist painting the amazing view or a musician playing his flute. In the entrance to the apartment you will find folding chairs which you can take to the park.
