Restored 14th-century residence with stone fireplaces, exposed beams and terracotta floors, close to local services, for sale in San Gimignano. This residence, whose origins date back to the 14th century, stands in the heart of San Gimignano.

The kitchen, integrated with functional elegance, complements the period surfaces and floors that enhance the brightness of the spaces. An internal staircase featuring stone steps leads to the upper floor, entirely dedicated to the tranquillity of the sleeping area.
