Tuscany - Luxury Medieval Village Retreat
Sleeps 6 + cot, available all year for self catering. 3 double bedroom 3-storey luxury house with stunning views of Mt Coronata. Located in beautiful Tuscan medieval mountain village. Totally refurbished. 2 min walk to village delicatessen/shop and 2 bars in heart of village. 20 min drive to Bagni di Lucca for pool complex surrounded by woods, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, shops. Our recently refurbished (by local artisans) Italian home is in the centre of this quintessential medieval village. We reckon some of the foundations date back some 1000 years. Chestnut beams and terracotta floors are juxtapositioned with fully modern facilities, this 3-storey house built into the side of the mountain is cool in summer and snug in winter (central heating throughout). In the summer find yourself lounging on 1 of the 2 balconies or on the spectacular terrace below. Or curl up in winter by one of the log fires. All bedrooms, kitchen and living room have stunning views of Mt Coronat.

| Notes: | Cot available. Central heating throughout (from pellet stove in living room. This 3-storey house sits on the side of a mountain; there are secure balconies (the views and drops are spectacular) and the terrace has protective railings around it. Suitability for children: given the situation and aspect of the house we would suggest it is most suitable for adults and families with babes in arms and sensible, well behaved children. The house is 5 minutes walk from the car park via hilly cobbled lanes. It is built into a mountain; the ground floor is in the middle of the house, with the study up a few steps on a mezzanine floor leading on up further stairs to the 1st floor bedrooms. The lower ground floor (master bedroom, shower/laundry) is reached via a stone staircase from the ground floor. The terrace is a floor below the lower ground floor and is reached via a spiral staircase. Some of the stairs are quite steep. |
