Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is in a quiet spot, perched on a hill in the Tuscan countryside. With a private garden, patio, and balcony, there’s plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. And you can also use the shared swimming pool, which boasts scenic views. Inside you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only thing this place lacks is an oven, but you can boil pasta on the stove and eat like a local. And if day trips are on the agenda, you’ll be spoilt for choice with Florence, Siena, and the Medieval town of San Gimignano all within a forty-minute drive.
