Less than a kilometre from the spectacular, towered town of San Gimignano, Poggio Barbiano — Barbiano Hill — has a commanding view of the town and surrounding hills. Once admired for its stategic and defensive qualities, it now envied for its wonderful panoramic views.
Casale Gregoriano sits on top of the hill - a stylish, late-seventeenth century villa built around a sturdy fourteenth century watch tower. The villa has been divided into several rental apartments and rooms, each carefully renovated and tastefully furnished. The accommodation is breathtakingly beautiful, many of the rooms with vaulted ceilings, others with exposed beams.

The apartments have heating, colour television and a telephone and there
is private parking. A cleaning service is available on request. It is also
possible to hire mountain bikes to explore the area.
