located within the protected nature reserve of the same name and enjoys a
sublime panorama over unique medieval borghi such as San Miniato or
Montopoli Val d'Arno. Upon arrival, the guest will find an old farmhouse
that has been artfully restored and which still shows signs of the various
eras and the consequent modifications made over the centuries. The
picturesque 11th century lookout tower, still intact, keeps watch like a
sentinel over the privacy of this property. The farmhouse, surrounded by a
green lawn, offers unique views and relaxing corners where you can enjoy
the scent of the flowers and herbs, leaving you with indelible memories for
a long time. Close to the house, set in greenery as in a panoramic terrace,
is the swimming pool with its soft colours typical of the local tufa rocks
where you can spend unique moments relaxing with a cocktail at the poolside
or stretched out on a sunbed, kissed by the Tuscan sun. Indoors, you will
find many typical materials of the area, such as the roof and ceilings with
wooden beams and terracotta tiles, stone walls, arches in stone or red
brick and floors in hand-crafted terracotta which, combined with the good
taste of the owners, have produced rooms of antique flavour and modern
comfort. The structure, spread out over three levels, consists of two
apartments on the ground floor, one on the first floor and an annex. There
are bedrooms with air-conditioning that face the various areas of the park,
elegant living areas, a splendid kitchen that combines the modern with the
old - a stainless steel worktop with the original 19th century fireplace, a
large dining room, a tea area and a reading area in the tower, an outdoor
dining area shaded by large umbrellas, all completed by the panoramic
swimming pool. The strategic position of this property allows you to get
quickly to main tourist destinations such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca,
Montecatini Terme and Siena as well as to the Tyrrhenian coast with the
renowned golden beaches of Versilia with its pearl, Forte dei Marmi. The
house is an excellent starting point for going off on bike rides or else
you can just relax in the large garden with its various cosy set up areas
and be in contact with nature, enjoying the lazy rural atmosphere. For spa
lovers, about 50 minutes away is Grotta Giusti with its thermal cave baths
or Casciana Terme with its outdoor thermal pool. Beach lovers can take
advantage of personalised discounts at the bathing establishment “Bagno
Italia” in Viareggio. On request, there are various hiking trails or you
can go riding at the nearby stables which offers special prices to our
