2 apartments in an old house and a separate cottage. Superb setting.

Set in a small hamlet with spectacular views into the beautiful Pratomagno Mountains, the property includes an old stone house 'La Villetta', and a separate cottage 'La Capanna' (a converted agricultural building). La Villetta may be used as two fully self-contained apartments (with separate entrances) each sleeping up to five people, or as a single unit. La Capanna can accommodate six people. Both buildings have recently been renovated so as to retain a traditional Tuscan character, and all three units have air conditioning and all necessary domestic facilities: fridge, freezer, washing machine, etc. There is a large garden with flowers, lawns, pergolas and bbqs. The owners' extensive website gives numerous photos of both buildings and of the surrounding area. Please email for the address of the website.

Both properties offer an ideal and comfortable base for people who want to explore the beautiful area south of Florence, as well as the major cities and cultural centres. They might best be described as a simple and comfortable rustic dwellings, with many charming features, set in a spectacular position at the foot of the mountains; perfectly located for people wanting a mixture of sightseeing, walking, swimming, art galleries, restaurants, wine tasting, scenic travel or just relaxing in the garden.

'Thank you for sharing your fantastic house and garden with us. We've had one of our most memorable holidays to date. We've gone for bike rides, done walks from the house, been to all the main places...We've dined at some superb restaurants, drunk fine wines, barbecued many times in your garden (what a spectacular setting), seen the amazing fireflies...had a trip to The Mall (gulp) where I bought a beautiful leather bag for a fraction of the price I would pay here...can't wait to go again...perfect location for that area and all its wonderful sites and places to visit...Thank you again for a fantastic holiday.' W & J T (Derby)

'We found our stay absolutely wonderful. The 'Suggestions Book' was truly excellent. It encouraged us to walk around the vicinity as well as visit the historic towns nearby. Neither of us wanted to leave by the end of our stay.' (A honeymoon couple, Worcestershire).
