Set in a dense forest on the outskirts of San Gimignano, in a timeless location, lies the Tenuta di Castelvecchio, behind the nature reserve of the same name, where the ruins of a once flourishing medieval town can be admired. The village, already inhabited in Etruscan times, reveals all the wild and mysterious charm that characterizes the entire nature reserve. The property allows you to enjoy the intense and absolutely unique atmosphere of the place without sacrificing the most modern comforts, very close to the most important centers of artistic and cultural interest in Tuscany and, therefore, the world.

a very beautiful place where you can refresh yourself in the vast forest of the municipality from which the path to Castelvecchio starts.
