Agriturismo Pancolina sits in the small village of Pancole, just a few kilometres from the medieval Tuscan towns of San Gimignano and Certaldo. From its panoramic position, guests at Pancolina can enjoy the gorgeous views of the soft rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves of the Tuscan countryside. The property, originally a farmer’s home, has been restored with great care and attention by owners Pia and Peter to create five unique luxury accommodations which include four apartments and a large double room.

All of the accommodations have their own private entrance and external garden areas, each offering enticing views of the beautiful surroundings of the area. The property offers guests a pool set among the property's olive grove offering panoramic views of the area. The ample spaces of the garden offer many spots that entice guests to relax and enjoy the serenity of extraordinary Tuscany.

Settled on the hills between San Gimignano and Certaldo, the farm estate producing extra-virgin olive oil offers guests great views of all of its surroundings while enjoying modern amenities in the luxurious double room and apartment accommodations in the main house.

The apartments all offer large wooden beams, terracotta floors, travertine linings, exposed stone walls and several have open fireplaces. All of them are furnished in an elegant, classic Tuscan style mixed in with modern touches, creating a stylish and luxurious yet highly welcoming atmosphere.

Couples can choose either the double bedroom with large bathroom called Sole which has a small fridge and coffee machine but no kitchen or Luna, an apartment on the first floor with a double bedroom, kitchen, living area with a sofa bed that can accommodate two extra guests and bathroom. Being on the first floor, the outdoor eating area for Luna is outside at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the apartment as well as a gorgeous open fireplace in the living area that will entice you to stay indoors when the weather is cooler.
