La novellina dominates the valley from a panoramic hill overlooking the famous towers of San Gimignano and encloses the essence and style of the hospitality of our family..
The Estate
La Novellina is an independent villa for 10 people surrounded by 30 hectares of land completely at your disposal. The origins of the house date back to the 11th century when it was built as a watchtower on the famous Via Francigena that led merchants and pilgrims to Rome from Western Europe. With breathtaking views over the Tuscan countryside, and surrounded by the intense scents of the Mediterranean garden, La Novellina offers the highest standard of service and comfort as a result of 30 years of experience. Whilst constantly improving the amenities of the villa, we have always kept the original and distinctive features alive and present which boast its millennial history.
