Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Basking in the Tuscan countryside, this home promises an escape from the daily routine. Sure, some of the bedrooms are a little bit of a squeeze, and the kitchen isn’t the biggest, but the home offers everything needed for a restful stay. Besides, with rolling countryside vistas and a private pool to cool off in, much of your time will be spent outdoors. Perfectly placed to explore the local areas by car, we’d recommend a trip to Pienza, just fifteen minutes away, to sample their famous Pecorino cheese.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
