Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away in the Tuscan countryside, this home offers a taste of rural Italian life. You’re quite secluded here – the nearest supermarket is a short drive away – but the views over the Val di Chiana are well worth the price of admission. Plus, your host can arrange plenty of in-house services – think daily cleaning and private catering – so you won’t have to venture far if that’s not your bag. And if you want a bit of extra privacy at the end of the day, there’s a separate annexe with its own bedroom, offering plenty of space to unwind away from the main villa.
