This charming cottage is surrounded by vineyards, tucked away in the small medieval village of Scrofiano. The cottage boasts lush gardens with an above-ground swimming pool and a covered veranda where you can admire the views and cook on the barbecue. Inside, the cottage is traditional and as charming as they come – look forward to exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, and stone arches. At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room, which we think is best suited to children. From this delightful home-from-home, you can reach the thermal baths of Rapolano in twenty minutes, and Siena in thirty.
