Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This traditional home is nestled among the Tuscan hills. You’ll have a private alfresco dining area here, as well as being able to enjoy a swimming pool, garden bar, children’s playground, and outdoor dining area with other guests. Your host can even arrange a private chef to rustle up a feast, or a pizza night in the communal dining spot. The home’s traditional decor won’t appeal to everyone, but we love the views from here, and the on-site garden bar is something you won’t find in many places. Location-wise, you’re 5 kilometres from Berignone Nature Reserve, with its glorious walks and wild swimming, and a short drive from picturesque Casole d'Elsa, where you can stock up on local produce.
