La Villa di Larniano is a very large 15th century farmhouse built around a thousand-year old Longobard lookout tower. Set high in the hills near the medieval city of San Gimignano, this wonderful old stone building lies within a large farm estate with three other medieval towers. The estate's vineyards produce a delicious white wine known as La Vernaccia, and its extensive olive groves the rich-tasting oil for which Tuscany is famed. The villa is furnished comfortably in an elegant country style with living areas overlooking a pretty, furnished courtyard and a well-kept garden. Sweeping lawns, often visited by hares and pheasants, lead to a clay tennis court and a large swimming pool with loungers and umbrellas. Sightseers can explore the many hill towns in the immediate area and in the nearby Chianti region, while golfers have access to one of Italy's best courses a short drive away.
