the 18th century in the magnificent countryside of the Chianti lands, surrouded by vineyards and olive groves.The original construction has been restored leaving intact all the characteristic features (wood beamed ceilings, tiles and terracotta floors, stonewalls)and adding a fresh touch mixing ancient pieces of furniture and object of the past with new stylish ideas. The house is on 2 levels and composed by 2 appartments connected by an internal staircase and let together for big families or friends gatherings (up to 9 guests). On the first floor, with its own private access to the garden area outside, there is the appartment "Lavanda" (4+2 guests)composed by 2 bedrooms, each one with ensuite W/C bathroom with shower and one fully equipped kitchen.
On the groundfloor there is located the appartment "Papavero" (2+1 guests), with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with W/C and shower/bathtub, + 1 big kitchen with french windows opening to the garden. This was once a horse stall and still preserves some charming features as the old stone manger in the bedroom. The exclusive garden area, equipped with barbecue,deck chairs and spacious tables with sets of comfortable chairs in wood and forged iron, is an irresistible call for garden breakfasts or candlelight dinner. Our swimming pool on shady ground is a real blessing after a hot summer day. Private horseback riding lessons available by the 2 steps away private manège.
