The farm house lies on a “poggio”, a hillock called “Salto” overlooking the typical Tuscan countryside, delicately rolling hills with their splendid colours which change according to the season. During summer our guests have a 4.30 by 9 metre swimming pool where they can spend sunny days cooling off and relaxing on the lawn, maybe reading a book in almost perfect silence, hearing only the splash of water in the pool when someone enters for a swim on hot days. Our guests also have at their disposal a summer house, sun shades, sun beds and deck chairs. The pool is an ideal solution and is situated in a panoramic position, near to the house but at the same time secluded so as to guarantee privacy.
Due to its hillside location is ideal to host groups of 12-14 mainly people (friends or relatives, families with children).
In these cases, you can rent the entire facility, and provided guests the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable common room equipped with a kitchen, washing machine and dishwasher.
The farm house has five apartments which can accommodate from two to six people, furnished in the typical Tuscan manner; all have ceilings with beams and floors with Tuscan terracotta tiles. One apartment is suitable for disabled people. The six double or three bedded rooms are all spacious and overlook the surrounding countryside. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with shower and toilet facilities.
