About the home

Podere Oliveta , which translates as ' Olivegrove farm', offers five apartments which enjoy a pretty location up in the hills near Gavignano, about 10 km east of S.Gimignano. The apartments have their own independent entrances and own garden area with barbecue . Much careful thought has gone into decoration, furnishing and ensuring the apartments are equipped down to the last detail.

There is a sizeable swimming pool (12 x 6 mt.) surrounded by a sun terrace which has panoramic views overlooking the rolling olive-clad hills , the sprinkling of cypresses trees and the majestic towers of S.Gimignano in the distance.

Gavignano is a tiny hamlet where the breadman calls every day except Sunday and local wine and oil can be bought nearby .
