Nandina is part of the Poggio delle Rose estate which is an elegant hilltop farmstead, strategically positioned in the center of the Golden Triangle between Florence, Siena and Pisa. The property sits on top of a hill, surrounded by 24 acres or vineyards, olive groves and woods with stunning views of the gently rolling hills leading to the ancient towers of San Gimignano.

The property consists of three buildings a farmhouse that has been converted into four elegant guest apartments, and a detached barn that has been transformed into a lovely country house. Each accommodation has been meticulously renovated and furnished by the owner, with Tuscan colored walls, terracotta floors, original art and antiques balanced with modern conveniences. Kitchens are equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and marble counters.

All of the accommodations are air-conditioned (although you most likely won’t need it, since the hilltop location invites Tuscan breezes). A beautiful garden path decked with flowers leads to a magnificent Mediterranean style swimming pool (6 x 14 meters) with Roman steps, perfect for an impromptu wine tasting or whiling away a summer afternoon with a book.

Poggio delle Rose is a dream. Our guests say that they are still dreaming of it in their mind’s eye. Within hiking distance is a family-owned restaurant, a small country store, and one of the oldest churches in the area. A few km’s down the hill is the picturesque walled hill town of Certaldo, where you will find the rail station (45 minutes to Florence; 40 minutes to Siena). Florence, Siena and Pisa are all within one hour by car. But the accommodations are so beautiful and the views so magnificent, you won’t want to leave home!

Nandina shares an estate with a capanna and three additional independent apartments. The capanna and the apartments are available to rent separately or in combination to accommodate up to 22 guests.

The Nandina Apartment (Sleeps 4)
The apartment is an atmospheric ambience designed with loving care for details. The layout and the decoration was a project of the property owner Paola. She invested a lot of time and love in choosing the right marble, tiles and light fixtures for the kitchens and the bathrooms, and in finding the right material for the sofas and armchairs as well as having a few choice pieces of antique family furniture restored. With sun pouring in through the French windows, its pastel colours and stunning views we think this estate is a the perfect place for an unforgettable vacation.

Ground floor: 1 living room with kitchenette and exit to two outdoor areas (a smaller one facing south, the other one facing north is spacious and very private) in front of the apartment
1 double bedroom (can be transformed to twin beds) / additional bed on request upon booking
1 bathroom with shower

Upper floor: 1 double bedroom with four-poster bed (bed cannot be transformed to twin beds)
1 bathroom with shower

Amenities: Amenities include air conditioning (although you’ll rarely need it, as the hilltop location allows for maximum circulation of Tuscan breezes), radio, cooker, fridge, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, American coffee machine and hair dryer. A beautiful garden path decked with flowers leads to a magnificent Mediterranean style swimming pool with Roman steps. On return from a day out, you can relax here whiling away late summer afternoons with a favourite novel.

Additional amenities: Mahonia is equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, radio, cooker, small oven, microwave, fridge, electric kettle, toaster, American coffee machine and hair dryer.

The four apartments are an atmospheric ambience designed with loving care for details. The layout and the decoration was a project of the property owner Paola.

Toscana - Tuscany

Tuscany is the place we all dream of….The place we want to retire to, and it is that place that will echo in your heart for a life time once you have stayed there and felt the essence of the organic life that passes by there each day.

With fields of sunflowers as far as they eye can see, olive groves and vineyards lining every street corner make Tuscany’s country side a picture worth painting. With its abundance of  tiny medieval towns scattered around the hills, open air markets where locals gather each Saturday morning to offer their produce such as Truffle oil, olives, chianti wine, cured meats etc makes Tuscany the perfect place to visit for those that love food, wine and history.
