Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Close to the spa town San Casciano dei Bagni, this converted farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees won us over immediately. You can completely immerse yourself in the Tuscan countryside here, with rolling hills serving as a picturesque background as you enjoy the pool and dine alfresco in the garden. While the style indoors won't be for everyone, the authentic wooden ceilings and exposed brickwork create a rustic atmosphere – speak to your host about hiring a chef and enjoy an authentic Italian dinner at home.
