Montegonfoli 3 Apartment in San Gimignano with amazing views

About Paolo Castellano

Dear Guests, I was born in the south of ltaly and so I'm very social and friendly. I love nature and I have several interests and hobbies. I love the good and healty food, that I like to cook; I make my own bread, pizza and cookies using my self made natural yeast, that I'm growing like a son since some years. If you're lucky you could taste my famous "Pizza alle cipolle caramellate" :-) I love deeply our regioun and I'm happy to share my knowledge and my suggestions with our guests. I'm a "frequent" cyclist, my current fitness program consists in growing up 2 nice babies and to make 20Km per day by bicicle, that I try to use for all my daily trips. I spend some of my time to make vegetables for me and my babies without using any chemicals. I think that the most important thing that we have is health, and that we'd have to try to preserve the one of the new generations. My slogan is "BENISSIMO" and I love the people who smile :-), and I'm very happy to give as much smiles as possible :-) Hope to meet all of you soon! Sincerely, Paolo

Paolo Castellano purchased this Apartment in 1983

Why Paolo Castellano chose San Gimignano

We decided to transform our farmhouse in an "AGRITURISMO " to allow to "THE WORLD" to be inspired by our views. The turistic activity allows us to ensure to the property an advanced maintenance program to keep the buildings in their original beauty and at the same time allows us to support agricolture and land protection.

What makes this Apartment unique

The most appreciated features of our Farmhouse are Views and location. All the guests are enchanted by the views, and all reviews, on all portals speak by themselves. Views are wonderful wherever you'll move your eyes, and pictures can't tell it. We are in a very silent and quiet place, but we are very close to San Gimignano, the pearl of Tuscany, just a 5 minutes drive, and good walkers can walk or run to it too (3,6Km, with 150m of altitude gap). All the apartments are comfortable, equipped with kitchen, heating and fans. We don't have Air conditioning because our climate usually doesn't requires it. Nights are always cool, we got hot summers in 2003 and 2015 only (for few weeks). We are in a paradise for Wine Lovers, there are several wineries in walking distance, and I suggest a wine tour in the surroundings, among wonderful, award winning wineries. Our farm produces my preferred wine, "VERNACCIA DI SAN GIMIGNANO" a wonderful white, one of the few ones that improves with age, also known as the wine of the popes, as Dante Alighieri already talked about it 800 years ago in the "Divina Commedia", speaking of Pope "Martino IV", famous for not being able to resist our Vernaccia. The "Vernaccia di San Gimignano" was one the preferred wines of "Lorenzo de' Medici". The Vernaccia di San Gimignano was the first wine to get , in 1966, the DOC certification. Then, in the nineties, our Vernaccia got the DOCG certification. Our vineyards produces "CHIANTI COLLI SENESI" too, a red wine that doesn't need any presentations. Our 1000 Olive Trees produce wonderful olive oils. Our Olive Oil is excellent, we get it from mechanical and cold extraction only. Some olives goes under salt, for olive lovers.
