Situated in the Tuscan countryside, this 12th-century home, set over four floors, offers a unique stay. The private patio here is perfect for alfresco dining, and there are shared gardens with views of the countryside. We also love the balcony off the large main bedroom. You’ll find plenty of character features, and there are a couple of living areas with two sofa beds that sleep four guests at full capacity. There are also two kitchens for when you want to do some home cooking. Location-wise, there are forest walks on your doorstep, while the village of Rosia is 1 kilometre away. Also, Tuscany's second city, Siena, with its Renaissance palazzi and art treasures, is 20 kilometres from this home.
