Description Tuscan Harvest: San Casciano in Val di Pesa

Located in the Chianti countryside, this tranquil villa is surrounded by forest-clad hills and overlooks a small lake. But don’t let the rural location fool you – you’re only 18 kilometres from Florence here. So after a few days relaxing by the pool, soaking up the views from the private hot tub, and enjoying alfresco meals, you can jump in the car for a day of culture and sightseeing in the popular Renaissance city. While the traditional decor here may not be to everyone’s tastes, with a Jacuzzi bathtub in the main bedroom and a large sun-drenched terrace outside, this home still has plenty to offer.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between May and September. The pool isn't fenced so children will need to be supervised at all times.
*One well-behaved dog, weighing up to 30 kilogrammes, is welcome to accompany you.
*The twin bedrooms can be configured as doubles if required – you’ll need to request this in advance.
*This home is near a road so expect to hear some noise from passing cars.
*There’s a small annex to the home which is closed.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car. There’s parking for up to four cars. The villa is accessed via an uneven, unpaved road so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended.
