Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tuscan character abounds in this stone villa, from wood-beamed ceilings to terracotta-tiled floors. It's the garden, however, that steals the show here. A covered terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy an Italian breakfast while the swimming pool beckons on a hot summer day. The best part is the views – sit back with a Chianti-made wine and admire the surrounding vineyards, olive groves, and meadows. When you're ready to venture out, take a trip to Florence – less than an hour's drive – or hop on the three provided mountain bikes to explore locally. Just note that the owner's son lives on the property, but none of the spaces are shared.
