Farmhouse in Pari-Civitella Paganico, in Maremma (Grosseto). Farmhouse near Petriolo`s thermal baths. Sleeps 7, Internet connection, swimming pool.
Description
Immersed in nature at the border between the provinces of Siena and Grosseto, the farmhouse (sleeping 7) is situated on a hill between the valleys of the rivers Ombrone and Merse. The 60 hectares of Mediterranean woods surrounding the building are home to a rich wildlife.
Close by the farmhouse (about 1 kilometre) are Petriolo`s thermal baths, ancient spas dating back to the 13th century renowned for their highly therapeutic waters. Members of the Medici and Gonzaga families, cardinals and dukes, as well as Pope Pius II, in the world Enea Silvio Piccolomini, regularly attended these hot springs.
The Outdoors
The house is south-facing and overlooks a charming landscape; as if from a terrace in a postcard, it opens onto Tuscan farmhouses, olive groves and the village of Pari; the Mount Amiata is seen in the background. The landscape, the panorama, the lack of roads (the only road in the neighbourhood ends up in the woods), the meadows, the olive trees, the oak and holm-oak woods surrounding the building and the warm natural colours of this land create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, where reign peace and silence.
In front of the house stretches the lawn dotted with trees. A shed is furnished with table and chairs. In the lawn are a brick barbecue and an old oven with porch, table and chairs. A summer kitchen is near the oven.
The private swimming pool (8x4 m) is exclusively reserved to guests.
