Villa with 3 bedrooms in Tuscany

The accommodation

The property is situated on a beautiful 5 acre estate. There are two structures on the property shared by 4 families but this rental property is the one storey house (capanna), completely rebuilt to traditional high Tuscan standards some 17 years ago, and is the separate house you can see on the right in the overhead view photo.

The spectacular infinity swimming pool is shared by the four families. This is open from mid May to mid September.

The property contains all the modern features you would expect. Including a dishwasher, wine cooler, SMEG fridge, instant hot water, wi-fi, DVD player, and an indoor dining table for 6 for the rare occasions you can't eat outside.

The large terrace, covered with wisteria and jasmine, was recently extended to 75 square meters. It has a large dining table which seats up to 8 people, next to which there is a large space with relaxing chairs and a drinks table.

The terrace faces both the pool and the valley to the right overlooking the fields and the medieval village of La Befa and beyond. As well as the covered area there is an open section overlooking the pool with 4 sun loungers.

The pool is not fenced so we are sorry but no children under twelve years old please.
