Castel San Niccolo holiday house "Casa Giardino" in spalanni

The house combines a sense of history with all the features which go to make this idea of modern living. The whole property has central heating for the colder months and for the chilly Spring and Autumn evenings, we have a wood fire. There is wireless internet access and this is provided without charge subject to fair usage. We feel that we may provide a real opportunity for you to keep in touch with your work and regular life while basking and relaxing in the Tuscan Countryside.

There is a beautifully fitted kitchen with ample utensils, crockery, cutlery etc. Even though it is great to sample Tuscan food in local restaurants, we appreciate how much it can be part of the holiday to buy local ingredients and create your own Tuscan Meals. Once you have prepared your meals, enjoy eating them outside on your beautiful and private terrace The main and most imposing feature of this room is the hugely magnificent Tuscan fireplace.

Outside is beautiful with a large and secluded garden where you can relax and enjoy the fantastic views. Central is of course the pool and sun terraces – our guests love to return after a day of sightseeing and have a relaxing and refreshing swim – indeed, so relaxing is the garden that many people are reluctant to leave and spend house and prefer to laze the day away in the shade of an olive tree while enjoying the surroundings. Ample garden furniture is provided.

The grounds are full of interesting features, ancient old walls, olive trees, vines – not so long ago, the garden was producing its own wine. Close to the front door, here is a huge vine which produces beautiful table grapes. All the hard terraces are either in Tuscan ‘cotto’ or natural stone.
