Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re seeking peace and quiet in the Tuscan countryside, this farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and vineyards is just the ticket. While the traditional interiors won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, we think they’re part of the charm. Outside, there’s a private garden overlooking the landscape, a shaded terrace for dining, and a small private pool. Although the rural location means having a car is essential here, you’re within easy driving distance of Certaldo and Emploi should you fancy embarking on a day trip.
