Diaspero is a beautiful villa set in a stunning position on a hill top just minutes from the famous medieval town of San Gimignano in the heart of Tuscany. The five hundred year old farmhouse has been restored and converted into a great home with air conditioned bedrooms, all with luxury en suite bathrooms, a twenty meter swimming pool and a full size tennis court. To enjoy the stunning views of the Tuscany countryside there are plenty of shaded living areas
From the city stone walls it’s just four kilometres to reach the gated drive which leads up to the villa, to the left of which is a immaculately kept vineyard that produces an award winning wine. You can park just below the villa walking into the most important room of the villa, the kitchen. The reason being that the owner is a renowned cook that has one of oldest restaurants in the centre of San Gimignano and has made the kitchen the very centre of the villa.
The views are just breath-taking, and you cannot get away from them! Just outside the kitchen is a huge shaded terrace furnished with a dining table with clear views of San Gimignano for all those seated and a modern seating area with comfortable settees and armchairs enjoying views in every direction. Up by the oversized infinity edge swimming pool and full size tennis court there are two loggias and umbrellas with seating areas as plenty of sun beds. Evening swims are a must as the sun goes down and the lights of the hundreds of farmhouses, villas and hamlets and of course San Gimignano light up.
The old stone farmhouse was built into the hillside so it has basically two ground floors. A sitting room and four air-conditioned bedrooms on the upper ground floor, a fifth air-conditioned bedroom, a kitchen and a dining room on the lower ground floor. The rooms are spacious with modern bathrooms, all en suite to the bedrooms. The owner has a small house on the estate where she lives alone. She ensures that everything runs smoothly and with her daughters who now run the restaurant she is able to offer fantastic private dinners. For more details about the private chef service please contact our concierge team.
San Gimignano is a great location from which to explore Tuscany with so many small villages and towns to explore with Both Florence and Siena that are just under an hour’s drive. San Gimignano can get busy in the summer months so go early in the morning, or after dinner for a late walk under the stars and marvel at its medieval towers that still stand proudly.
