Tastefully decorated with antiques from around the world, the apartment also boasts many of today's CREATURE COMFORTS, such as the INTERNET (bring your PC), TV (+50 CHANNELS), I-POD station and STEREO. The private terrace/garden area has a table/chairs for 6, BBQ grill, and 2 lounge chairs.

'The isolation of this gem amidst the stunning Tuscan scenery has made this a most relaxing and peaceful holiday. Essential visits to some of Italy's most historic centres of architecture and culture add a distraction to emphasise the tranquillity of your lovely home. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you.' Brown / Milbourn party, 9-15 September 2007
