Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With vaulted ceilings and beautiful natural accents, this Tuscan countryside home is homely, modern and tranquil – and that’s just inside. The outdoors will charm you with over an acre of olive groves, wheat fields, sunflowers and Mediterranean foliage that paints the horizon green as far as the eye can see. Make yourself comfortable outside – whether that means lounging poolside as you work on your tan, dining al fresco, or going for a walk – and admire the landscape around you and the peace that the seclusion brings. If you’d like to spend the day away from home, you’ll find the coast about an hour away. Enjoy warm days building sandcastles and frolicking in the surf before returning home sun-kissed and ready for a nap. You can also venture out to Florence for an art and culture injection before making it back in time for sunset drinks on the terrace. Enjoy a complimentary wine tasting and spend the rest of the day nibbling antipasto from a comfortable position in the shade.
