About this apartment rental
Catignano is a small fraction of the municipality of Gambassi Terme. A village that has kept intact over time the characteristic profiles of the small medieval settlement, a genuine and ancient corner of Tuscany, located on the crest of a hill overlooking the Valdelsa.
All around the small village develops a dense crown of vineyards, olive groves and woods with the typical vegetation of oaks, holm oaks and cypresses where it is possible to meet roe deer, hares, pheasants and observe the flight of doves, bee-eaters and hoopoes. .
Those who want to experience the truest spirit of Tuscany can stop here sharing the rural life of the local people or stroll relaxing among the aromas and flavors of the countryside and good food. A place where you can venerate pleasure, beauty and nature.
All the comforts, including the swimming pool, in a period structure immersed in the Tuscan countryside, is well suited as a base for visits to the cities of art, to the Romanesque churches located on the historic Via Francigena and to the medieval castles that are located in the surrounding area.
The house still retains the authentic bell tower, the chapel with frescoes, the old cellar with a room for reading and listening to music.
The apartment has an open space with a veranda where you can have meals, taste the magnificent wines and products of the area, rest and sunbathe.
In the trattorias and restaurants of the area it is possible to taste the typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine, Tuscan oil and wines, the famous white truffle, Florentine steak, game, fresh and aged cheeses and typical sausages of the area.
Wine routes for Castellina in Chianti, Radda, Gaiole in Chianti, for San Gimignano, Montalcino and Montepulciano.
A few kilometers away you can reach Florence, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Certaldo, Radda in Chianti, Lucca, Vinci and other characteristic places. For daily shopping and various needs, at 4/5 kilometers there are supermarkets, shops of all kinds and weekly markets.
The owners are available for any need and information.

We had a wonderful stay! A truly authentic home away from home in the heart of Tuscany! Franco and family were the perfect hosts! Franco very kindly accommodated a very late arrival because of airport and car rental delays and he treated us to a fantastic visit to his cellar, wine tasting and treats and stories of local insights. Highly recommend a visit here! We hope to visit again

We had a wonderful time in this very nice property. Many thanks to Franco and Patrizia for their kindness and hospitality. A beautiful rural location, but a good point from which to visit various towns and cities.

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in this lovely two bedroom apartment. The accommodation has a large comfortable living room to relax with a glass of wine. The kitchen is outfitted well with glassware, tableware and cookware. We cooked in several nights of our stay. There is a large grocery coop about a ten minute drive away. We chose this accomodation as we felt it would be an easy drive to several cities we wanted to visit: Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano,Siena. We also went to two wineries around Grieves. Our hosts were very welcoming and quickly responded to any questions we had. They also generously took us on a tour of their beautiful chapel, and amazing wine rooms. And we had the most delicious tray of homemade sweets! They are truly the nicest people and it was lively to spend time with them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet comfortable accomodation in the middle of the tuscany region.
5.0 / 10.0·May 2017
We really enjoyed our stay in this property full of history and character. The appartment easily fitted us as a family of five and had everything we could have wished for. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we enjoyed our food and wine on the charmig veranda.
This house was an ideal starting point for our numerous day trips - nothing was more than an hour away- and we loved returning to the peace and serenity of the spectacular landscape dotted with olive trees and vineyards.
Our hosts were outstanding - we had so much fun talking to them, although our Italian is hardly comprehendable, and they were so kind in welcoming us, sorting us out and just making us feel comfortable.
We cannot wait to return again!
