Every Stay Feels Like Home

Welcome to Melograno — a 56 m² apartment inside the historic Pieve di San Martino, a medieval estate set in the rolling hills of the Val d'Elsa, between Siena and Florence. The apartment's defining feature is its tower bedroom — a double room tucked inside the oldest part of the building, once a medieval watchtower. Reached by a charming wooden staircase, it offers breathtaking views over the Tuscan countryside and an atmosphere you simply won't find anywhere else. On the main level, the dining and living area opens onto an entire wall of original bicrome stonework from the old Pieve — a striking piece of living history. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking with local ingredients, and the outdoor seating area at the entrance is perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of Chianti.
