Agriturismo Pancolina

Luxury restored farmhouse apartments near San Gimignano & Certaldo

Agriturismo Pancolina sits in the small village of Pancole, just a few kilometres from the medieval Tuscan towns of San Gimignano and Certaldo. From its panoramic position, guests at Pancolina can enjoy the gorgeous views of the soft rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves of the Tuscan countryside. The property, originally a farmer’s home built in the 1600s, has been restored with great care and attention by owner Pia to create five unique, luxurious accommodations which include four apartments and a large double room.

All accommodations have their own private entrances and outdoor garden areas, each with attractive views of the area's beautiful surroundings. The property offers guests a swimming pool set in the property's olive grove with panoramic views of the area. The large garden offers many places for guests to relax and enjoy the tranquility of extraordinary Tuscany.

Agriturismo Pancolina's location and amenities make it an ideal base from which to enjoy all that Tuscany has to offer. Settled on the hills between San Gimignano and Certaldo, the farm estate producing extra-virgin olive oil offers guests stunning views of the surrounding countryside and modern amenities in the luxurious double room and apartment accommodations in the main house.

The apartments have large wooden beams, terracotta floors, travertine linings, exposed stone walls and several have open fireplaces. All of them are furnished in an elegant, classic Tuscan style mixed in with modern touches, creating a stylish and luxurious yet very welcoming atmosphere. All have private garden areas to enjoy al fresco dining.

Couples can choose either the double bedroom with large bathroom called Sole which has a small fridge and coffee machine but no kitchen or Luna, a first-floor apartment with a double bedroom and bathroom, kitchen and living area with a sofa bed that can accommodate two extra guests. Being on the first floor, the outdoor dining area for Luna is at the bottom of the private stairs to enjoy in the summer months. In the living area, you will find a beautiful open fireplace that entices you to stay indoors when the weather is cooler.

Families with children or two couples can choose Capanne, ideal for 4-5 guests with its two double bedrooms and bathrooms, or Stella which can host up to 6 guests. Both have spacious living rooms and kitchens with Stella also having a beautiful corner fireplace in the living room. Stella has 3 separate double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, each richly and tastefully furnished to welcome you to relax at the end of every day you are off exploring the cultural and historical riches of the territory. The last apartment, Fienile, is located in the former hayloft of the farm, in a privileged position next to the pool. It is perfect for 4 people with its two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living area and private pergola.

Families with small children can request cots and high chairs for their apartment.

A shared laundry room is available to freshen up travel clothes and free WIFI can be used in all apartments and throughout the property. Guests have a private parking area and an electric car charging point on the estate as we highly recommend you have your own car to move around the area.
