Located at the crest of a hill in a small grouping of brick and stone houses which once formed the nucleus of a 16th century farm, this small but enchanting house is located a few minutes drive along one of the famous “strade bianche” or graveled roads typical of rural Tuscany leading up from the village of San Vincenzo a Torri. Although quite secluded and absolutely silent, the charmed location amid vineyards and olive groves is perfect for those who wish to tour the area as access to the highway is just minutes away and Florence lies some 10 miles north.
The home is owned by a Florentine textile artist who keeps her studio in an adjacent building. Her taste and artistic sensibility is evident in the decoration of the house. The recent complete restoration has added all modern conveniences yet the wonderful atmosphere typical of an old Tuscan rustic dwelling has been perfectly retained.
There is a paved forecourt with a splendid rose arbor framing the panoramic view over the countryside. A jasmine covered pergola provided a prefect venue for outdoor dining.
Beautiful views of the country side with charming medieval villages dot the surrounding landscape.
The quirky eclectic décor reveals great personality and gives this place the feel of a home as opposed to simply a vacation rental. The lovely Tuscan patio, dominating a magnificent panorama of rolling hills, is perfect for dining “al fresco ".
