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.

My husband and I thoroughly loved our week! Franco is the most hospitable host, welcoming us with a lovely bottle of his delicious chianti, providing us with guide books to help us plan our day trips, and treating us to a tasting of his wines and tour of the property. The apartment perfectly suited our needs. It was just too bad that the weather didn't cooperate the week we were there so we could have better enjoyed the lovely terrace and pool. Franco + family, that's again. We were treated like family and hope to return. And certainly, we will recommend the apartment to family and friends looking for an authentic Tuscan stay.

What an amazing week!! Franco and family were so welcoming! Had a lovely tour of the home as well as a tasting of lovely wines! They were very helpful with reservations and getting my friend and I scheduled for a cooking class!! We left feeling more like family than guests!! We both agree we will be back for another visit!!

We stayed at Franco‘s appartment for 9 days. It‘s perfect for two people and we very much enjoyed our stay. Franco is a great and welcoming host and made us feel at home. He gave us an insight into the other appartments, his flat (also very pretty with much love to detail) and the wine cellar, where we tasted his creations. La pergola has a nice terrace with a beautiful view and the garden is pretty and well maintained by Franco. We had the big pool to ourselves. All in all a great and quiet place to relax and explore the area, which we mostly did on our bikes. Supermarkets are around 10mins away.
Thanks for the lovely days Franco!

Set in the Tuscan hills this is a delightful little apartment with a secluded terrace and lively shared outdoor pool just right for a cooling dip. Lots of interesting places to visit within a short drive and Franco's tips for using the train to access Siena and Firenze were very helpful. Franco and Patricia were great hosts sharing their local knowledge and some of their wine. We would recommend the property and hope to return in the future.
