The proximity of local restaurants and public transport are the key to making this vacation stress free.

An Authentic Tuscan Setting

Set on several floors, the old Tuscan barn has been completely restored and now offers a luminous and spacious vacation retreat. The well cared for garden which surrounds the house offers several options; take a nap in the shade, read a good book on the veranda or cool off in the private swimming pool. The owners have tables and chairs distributed and invite you to eat breakfast surrounded by the sounds of nature. Using the natural goodness that this area of Tuscany is known for, the breakfast is particularly rich with homemade jams and cakes, local cheeses and yogurts as well as the owner's specialty: fresh eggs enriched with the perfume of herbs from their garden. The large common room features an open kitchen area for programmed cooking lessons, or a snuggle in front of the traditional styled fireplace radiates warmth with the playful combination of colors. Using a creative mix of wood, flowers and personal accents Assunta and Stefano have created a delicious space for a holiday retreat. Particularly striking, is the use of natural light throughout the common areas, even on a cloudy day the rooms are luminous.
