San Gimignano villa with pool, 5 rooms en suite, A/C, wi-fi, panoramic view
Five girlfriends 60 and the house was absolutely perfect! We each had our own bedroom and bathroom, spacious accommodations, very clean and the views were spectacular. Alessandro, our host, lives on the property and was available to us whenever we had questions about anything but was never intrusive ...

What an awesome place. Lovely house and backyard with pool. Leo is friendly , helpful and welcoming . Belforte is a small , quiet hilltop village but it is very accessible (by car) to other awesome spots- Siena, San Gimignano , Volterra and others. Highly recommended
