Location & Surroundings

In the heart of central Tuscany, a short drive from San Gimignano, Villa Vallebuia is set in a 15 hectars estate surrounded by a working vineyard and olive grove as well as woodland. It’s a location full of privacy, the last part reached via a dirt road that winds through the stunning landscapes that surround the villa. It’s around a 3km drive from San Gimignano, even closer if you choose to walk.

San Gimignano

Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage, is one of Tuscany’s most loved villages, famous for its many towers and historic beauty. Whilst strolling through the pretty shops and dining in some charming restaurants, make sure you try the local white wine, Vernaccia, which is produced in the village’s surrounding vineyards.

Poggibonsi

Is a useful town nearby (14km) with its supermarkets and some excellent local restaurants. This is also where the nearest train station is, a great way of travelling to either Siena (25-minutes) or Florence (just over an hour by train). Alternatively, the Firenze-Siena autostrada is easily picked up at Poggibonsi, taking you to Florence in around an hour whilst Siena is about 45 minutes from the villa.

The Chianti hills

Within striking distance allowing you to visit some of the region’s amazing wineries and picture-perfect villages. Start off in Castellina in Chianti (28km), then head to Greve and Radda to discover these enchanting villages and surrounding vineyards.

Volterra

Another popular town to visit, about half an hour away, with its fascinating Etruscan history, medieval architecture and delightful narrow lanes to explore. It’s a must for art-lovers who should spend some time admiring the work in the Pinacoteca e Museo Civico di Volterra.

“… wir haben besonders die paradiesische Atmosphäre am Pool und beim Grillen auf der Terrasse genossen. Die liebevoll und persönlich gestaltete Anlage in den toskanischen Hügeln hat uns einen relaxten Urlaub mit unsere Großfamilie beschert! Einen großen Dank an Dieter und das ganze VB Team für den herausragenden Service…”
