It is a big house partially painted Tuscan yellow ochre and the rest brickwork. There is a private lane, a large parking area, all surrounded by a lovely garden and field. We have recently renovated the whole building and the ground floor has been decorated with the utmost care for use as guest accommodation for a max of 12 guests. This area is completely independent from the first floor, which is for private use only.
We have five very attractive double bedrooms available, all well light and quiet . Each room has its own bathroom with shower, wash basin, bidet and WC. The heating and cooling system are really very innovative, made by the newest energetic saving techniques. All the wooden furniture is new, chosen for its beautiful detailing and sense of harmony within the rooms. The bed and table-linen, sheets, coverlets, towels are home made, outcome of an ancient family tradition and still kept up.
Breakfast is served in a lovely room where you can also socialise with other guests or enjoy a good book at other times of the day, we have a selection of books to borrow in various languages and you are encouraged to leave your paperbacks behind for other guests.
Whenever the weather is good enough your breakfast can be taken outside under the wonderful portico, with a nice view over the garden, vineyard and fields beyond. There are deckchairs and umbrellas in the garden.
Children are expecially welcome and they will find a nice playground are with toys ready for them.
Whether your aim is to come and relax going for long and quiet walks along the green banks of the river Stella close by, or if your aim is to use the house as a base to explore Tuscany, its history and culture, this is the right place to be.
Within a range of 20 km you find Florence, Prato, Pistoia, Vinci (birth place of Leonardo), Montecatini Terme and Monsummano Terme (the spa towns) and with less of one hour drive you reach the Versilia coast with its worldwide famous sandy beaches and the towns of Lucca, Pisa, Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi.
