Dressed in sumptuous velvet furnishings, with classic styling throughout, this traditional apartment overlooks picturesque views of the Tuscany hillside. Located on the first floor, the apartment boasts optimal storage space, opulent high ceilings and shared access to the complex's pool and terrace area. While traditional designs create an atmospheric space, modern amenities ensure comfort and practicality in every part of the home. We particularly love the contrast between the sleek kitchen and plush living area. After a day of exploring the surrounding scenes of the Tuscan countryside or nearby sought-after city stops such as Lucca, Florence and Pisa – come back to soak up the sunset views over the valley. From here, there's no better feeling than unwinding with a glass of local wine in one of the armchairs or out on the communal terrace at the end of an action-packed day in Tuscany. If you're keen to stay local, the local village of Palaia offers ease and convenience as well as an abundance of Italian countryside charm to marvel over.
