A gorgeous farmhouse to let in Tuscany, around 15 minutes' drive from San Gimignano - Il Verde is 1.5km from the town of Montaione. With a swimming pool, it has a selection of holiday apartments.

Farmhouse Il Verde bears witness to a colourful history. Around the early 15th Century, it formed the outpost of the borough of Montaione against the neighbouring towns of Volterra and San Gimignano. Nearby, there are many trekking tours and the Hermitage of San Vivaldo in the (on the famous Via Francigena). San Vivaldo is known as 'Jerusalem in Tuscany' thanks to its chapels, terracotta work and paintings of the Robbias School.
