Lounge by the lavender-edged 18-metre lap pool with its beautiful views of the forested hills and distant hilltop village of Castagnoli. You can’t see the pool from the house, as it's 70 metres down a track, past the owner's villa – but once there, it’s a sight to behold. Or relax on your terrace or balcony in the private garden. It’s the perfect spot for an Italian feast cooked on the barbecue or rustle up something in the kitchen on the first floor with its marble worktops. If you need to top up on ingredients, then Gaiole, 4 kilometres away, has a selection of shops, as well as restaurants, while the nearest village, Barbischio, 1 kilometre away, has a superb trattoria.
