With its 42 mt high, the Salvucci Tower is one of the famous towers of San Gimignano and today the only one turned into a vertically-spread apartment divided into 11 floors, for a total of 143 steps. A unique and timeless place, ideal to experience something never tried before. The tower can hosts couples or small groups up to 3 people. Its panoramic rooftop boasts an incredibly breathtaking view all over the town. Once belonging to the Salvucci family, wealthy merchants of spices and fabrics in medieval times, the tower required a historical-conservative restoration that lasted over four years and ended in the early 1990s. Today, each floor of the tower corresponds to a different and equipped room, making the tower a real vertical house. The stairs are steep and not too comfortable, but they undoubtedly contribute to creating a magical atmosphere that only who stay here can experience. From the panoramic rooftop, at a height of 42 mt, you can admire sunrises, sunsets and starry skies, surrounded by the other towers that soar towards the sky and an incredibly unique view above San Gimignano. All guests can enjoy a delicious welcome basket. Linen and towels are supplied, there is free Wi-Fi (on the 1st and 2nd floor of the tower) and an iron and ironing board have been recently added. The accommodation has a new air conditioner (A/C Unit) located near the foldaway bed on the 6th floor, and some fans on the other floors. Instead, heating is centralized. THE TOWER IS DEVIDED INTO 11 FLOORS Each floor doesn't exceed 12sqm \- 1st floor: kitchenette with bright living room and Smart Tv (you can log in with your own Amazon Prime and Netflix account) \- 2nd floor: mezzanine with a coffee table and two small leather sofas \- 3rd floor: bathroom with shower, hairdryer \- 4th floor: pink design table with two chairs \- 5th floor: two single bunk beds (each 90x190 cm) \- 6th floor: queen foldaway bed (120x190 cm) \- 7th floor: passage way floor, small bookshelf \- 8th floor: half bathroom (wc and sink) \- 9th floor: corridor, passage way steps \- 10th floor: a second kitchen just under the rooftop (no table/chairs) \- 11th floor: panoramic rooftop equipped with table and chairs, with 360° view above San Gimignano During summer, upon request (with extra charge) a private chef can cook for you an exclusive dinner based on typical Tuscan dishes, served directly on the terrace at the top floor of the tower. The service can be booked with a minimum 7 days notice. Useful information: \- There are no passage way doors between the floors of the tower \- On request only we can evaluate equiries of stay for 4 people \- Due to the central location of the tower, in the evening or in the morning you may hear some noise coming from the square below for different reasons: the street sweepers which pass by to clean, the technicians in charge of assembling the scaffolding for events and/or concerts, the Thursday morning weekly market.. If you are a light sleeper, we therefore suggest you not to stay here \- We also recommend not to stay here to all those suffering from claustrophobia or vertigo and if you have problems walking up/down the stairs \- Please note that if you're looking for modern comforts or luxury, this is not the place for you \- The tower is not suitable for stays with children under 12 \- There is neither a washing machine nor a dryer, but you can easily find a laundromat within 5 minutes walking in Via Cannicci Where to park: The tower is located in the historic centre in a ZTL area. You can easily park just outside the walls. The most recommended options for parking are: Parking P3 Bagnaia, under video surveillance and paid at a cost of €15.00/day, from here the tower can be reached in 8-10 minutes on foot slightly uphill; or you can park for free all along Via Cappelletti, a residential area with free parking spaces marked with white lines; you just have to check the signs relating to street sweeping day. From here the tower can be reached in 10-12 minutes on foot uphill for the first stretch and then slightly uphill once you arrive at Porta San Matteo. For those with a lot of luggage, we recommend to bring with you only the essentials. To be paid locally in cash: \- City tax €2,50 per person per night required for the first five nights or less. Children up to 14 y.o are free of charge \*\* Check the section '' House Rules'' to see what it is not included in the price \*\* ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - No onsite parking available - Car not required ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Tour and ticket assistance ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances;
