A 5 minutes drive from the towers of San Gimignano, the final mile on a country road, leads to the gates of Villa 'Il Caggio 13B'. Set in a copse of large evergreens, an occasional peek reveals the gently rolling countryside that surrounds the property. The villa offers total privacy. A stone built barbecue and pizza stone-oven make alfresco dining fun.
