Both house and guest house enjoy their own terraces with views.

The swimming pool and walks around the house

The swimming pool (completed in 1999) is about twenty metres from the house, and is shielded from the house by a row of pine trees, which provide good shade on the lower terrace in the afternoon. The pool is accessed by shallow terracotta steps from the garden, and a large terracotta terrace surrounds it, with umbrellas, loungers and a long, low stone seat with cushions for lying on. The pool sits on the edge of the shallow olive terrace, with beautiful views. The whole pool area may be lit at night and the pool lighting operates on a timer. The dimensions of the pool are 13mx6.6m. There is no diving in the pool. There is a delightful walk up the track and down past the house, through the olive groves and vineyard. The house sits in its own small estate of 20 acres of woodland, olive grove and vineyards. It is possible to buy the excellent olive oil produced on the estate.

The terrace and cabanna

The house has a large south-facing terrace with a pergola of american vine, providing semi-shade. There are two large wooden tables, with seating for at least twelve, with benches along them. From the terrace the views are over the garden across the vines and olive groves to the distant valley and Mount Cetona in Tuscany. Next to the terrace, also enjoying wonderful views, is a large brick building with three open walls, the 'cabanna' which is a large outside sitting room, with comfortable chairs. This is a good place to be in the summer, always cool and shady. Outside the guest house is a south-facing terrace, with views over the house, and then down over olive groves and vineyards as before.
