The Space:
The interior living space of this Tuscany vacation rental measures 500 square metres and is laid out over three floors. It is furnished throughout with antiques and on entry you will almost feel like you have stepped back into a past era. Plenty of original features have been preserved including cotto flooring, brick vaulted ceilings and original stone walls.
The main living room in this Tuscany vacation rental has a rustic, country feel with vaulted ceilings and a large fireplace. This is adjacent to the kitchen and works well if guests are looking to enjoy a cookery class during their stay. The kitchen is traditional in style and is well equipped. It has doors leading out to the garden. There is also a second living room which is both elegant and colourful. It's the perfect place to catch up over a glass of wine (or two!) with friends and family. Also on the ground floor is a dining room and a bathroom with shower and WC.
You'll find the first five bedrooms on the first floor of this Tuscany vacation rental. Three of these are double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.

Again this has access to the panoramic terrace and an ensuite bathroom, this time with both shower and bath tub. Each bedroom is decorated in its own style, giving each bedroom a unique look and feel.

A lovely terrace has a large table that can comfortably seat everyone for dinner, whilst there are plenty of loungers and seating around the private swimming pool.
