Farmhouse near Pienza, in the Val d`Orcia (Siena). Garden and private swimming pool. Sleeps 4, Internet connection.
Description
Ancient farmhouse situated atop a typical Tuscan hill and surrounded by the expanse of white clay of the Crete senesi and by the relaxing agricultural landscape of the Tuscan countryside. On the horizon, the bell-tower of Sant`Anna in Camprena is to be seen, the place where the famous film "The English Patient" was shot. The farmhouse has been recently restored combining all modern comforts with its original rustic style. A terraced garden surrounds the building: the first of the three terraces (the nearest to the house) is furnished for dining in the open air, whereas in the lowest terrace there is a private swimming, at guests` disposal. The farmhouse is provided with private parking lot, washing machine, oven, American-style coffee machine and Internet connection. Animals are welcome upon request. Equally upon request, guests are granted the use of a baby cot and a highchair. Thanks to its secluded location, the farmhouse is the ideal holiday accommodation for those who want to relax far from hectic city life. At the same time, the farmhouse is the ideal starting point for excursions to some of Tuscany and Italy`s major cities of art, such as Siena, Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano, Pisa, Rome and Perugia.
