Along the ancient Via Francigena lies an oasis of peace, surrounded by unspoiled and diverse nature, nestled for centuries among the gentle hills of San Gimignano, a gem of the most beautiful Tuscany.
A typical 19th-century Tuscan farmhouse, once owned by the noble Guicciardini family and brought back to life through a skillful restoration that respects the architectural traditions of rural Tuscany, is now a small and peaceful retreat just 6 km from the famous towers of San Gimignano.
Within the 37-hectare estate, around 10 hectares of vineyards are part of the working farm, producing the precious grapes used to make the renowned Vernaccia—crafted since the 13th century—and Chianti Geografico.
Alongside the vineyards grow silvery olive trees which, come winter, yield a golden nectar: a fruity, flavorful extra virgin olive oil.
The apartments are dedicated to welcoming guests from all over the world, many of whom return year after year to rediscover the taste of the most authentic Tuscany.
The agriturismo Podere Remignoli, which gives its name to the area where it is located, sits at 300 meters above sea level. From here, one can admire—and almost touch—the towers of San Gimignano. The property is immersed in a natural wildlife reserve, home to pheasants, hares, wild boars, foxes, and partridges.
Guests can unwind with walks or bike rides along scenic trails leading all the way to San Gimignano, through rolling hills lined with vineyards, olive groves, and small woods. Or they may simply choose to stay at the agriturismo, soaking in the landscape from the poolside—between books, swims, and the peaceful silence of the countryside.
The agritourism estate Podere Remignoli, which gives its name to the area where it is located, lies halfway between Florence and Siena, atop a hill facing the unique skyline of San Gimignano. From here, you can enjoy stunning views of the Chianti hills to the east, the Elsa Valley to the north, and the Montagnola Senese to the south.
The estate consists of a classic Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by centuries-old cypress trees, carefully restored with respect for its original appearance.
For your holidays, the property offers two apartments for 6 guests, one apartment for 4 guests, and one for 2 guests—all renovated in the spirit of Tuscan rural tradition, while still providing modern comforts.
Surrounding the farmhouse, guests will find large green areas equipped with chairs, tables, sun loungers, and umbrellas, as well as a solarium and private parking.
The swimming pool, measuring 6 meters wide by 14 meters long, is located in a panoramic position just 20 meters from the house—directly overlooking San Gimignano.
The apartment, typical of the Sienese countryside, has been restored and furnished in keeping with the traditional Tuscan rural style of the past, without sacrificing modern comforts. Its layout revolves around the spacious kitchen, once the heart of daily life for farming families.
There are three large double bedrooms: two with direct views of the towers of San Gimignano, and a third overlooking the unspoiled landscape of the estate’s vineyards.
Comfort is guaranteed by the kitchen, which may appear traditional but is fully equipped with modern appliances, and by the two contemporary bathrooms, each with its own private shower.
The apartment also features an outdoor area for the exclusive use of its guests, complete with a gazebo—perfect for enjoying moments of pure relaxation.
This apartment, also rooted in the traditions of Tuscan rural life, mirrors the layout of the Tartuca apartment. Centered around a spacious kitchen, it features three large double bedrooms, with windows that open onto the rolling Tuscan hills dotted with vineyards and olive trees.
Two recently renovated and very comfortable bathrooms, along with an additional cozy living room, complete the interior.
Finally, nestled in the quiet of the Chianti hills, the apartment offers a private outdoor space furnished with a gazebo—an ideal setting for moments of total peace and relaxation.
The old animal stable, renovated with modern standards and furnished for maximum comfort, is the ideal apartment for four guests. The kitchen, featuring a large fireplace, serves as the entrance to the home, which also includes two bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
The spacious kitchen and one of the bedrooms overlook the towers of San Gimignano, while the other bedroom offers a unique view of the vineyard rows that produce the region’s typical Chianti Geografico and the renowned Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
What makes the stay truly special is the large private terrace reserved exclusively for the guests of this apartment. It overlooks the estate’s swimming pool and offers a direct view of San Gimignano and the stunning surrounding landscape.
The apartment, perfect for a couple seeking the peace and serenity that the countryside of San Gimignano—with its landscapes and colors—so effortlessly conveys, offers all the essentials despite its seemingly compact size.
Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a spacious living area with a functional kitchenette cleverly concealed within a cabinet.
A large bedroom with a window overlooking a particularly charming view completes this small yet comfortable retreat.
The experience is enhanced by a private outdoor space, furnished with chairs, tables, sun loungers, and an umbrella—ideal for relaxing moments in the heart of nature.
The Podere Remignoli farm estate is located in the heart of Tuscany: from the agriturismo, Siena is 35 km away, Florence 65 km, Certaldo just 3 km, San Gimignano 5 km, and Volterra 35 km—just to name the most famous towns. However, a countryside holiday in Chianti wouldn’t be complete without visiting charming medieval villages like Vinci, Colle Val d’Elsa, and Monteriggioni, all within about 20 km of Podere Remignoli.
Chianti is above all hills and nature—perfect to explore on the countless trekking routes, whether on foot, horseback, or mountain bike—to discover the most authentic side of Tuscany.
Nearby, guests can also explore the fascinating routes of the Via Francigena, which crosses the Val d’Elsa on its way to Siena, offering rare and evocative paths that blend nature, medieval charm, and spirituality. There are also cultural itineraries in the footsteps of painters and poets who once walked these lands, such as Dante, Boccaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, and Pontormo.
A holiday in a Chianti agriturismo, nestled between Siena and the Val d’Elsa, is also the perfect opportunity for shopping local products—especially wine and olive oil.
Just 18 km away, the Thermal Baths of Gambassi offer wellness treatments and spa therapies featuring the renowned Acqua di Pillo, ideal for both therapeutic and beauty treatments.
In the vicinity of the agriturismo and San Gimignano, you’ll also find several leisure facilities: tennis courts (about 3.6 km away), a golf course (around 15 km), and a five-a-side football field (approximately 3.6 km).
