These comfortably and stylishly furnished apartments are located in fully renovated Tuscan farmbuildings, which still form part of a working wine-producing estate. The grounds are set among gently rolling hills and extensive vineyards. Wine-tasting evenings can be organised in the communal reception lounge. Yet each apartment enjoys its own private, outdoor dining area, as well as the sheltered seclusion of the lovely pool terrace.

Two of these apartments are housed back-to-back under the same roof, whereas the largest is situated in a separate building just across the courtyard. The restoration work on these houses, built in traditional light Tuscan stone, has carefully preserved many of their original architectural elements, such as the external staircases; terracotta-tiled floors; tiled/beamed ceilings; white-washed walls; and large, wood-burning fireplaces. These features have been harmoniously blended with more modern, striking colour-schemes, furnishings and fittings, as well as with every labour-saving comfort required.

Encircled by lawns and screened by high evergreen hedges, the delightful pool terrace makes an ideal retreat, when you want to get away from it all, undisturbed!

Two baby-cots can be provided, on request. Serving all three apartments, a utility room, with washing machine and tumble-drier, is accessed through a separate outside entrance on the ground floor of the main building.

Directly adjacent to this is the very large reception lounge, where wine-tastings are usually held. On request, this can be booked for special occasions, including celebratory dinners, when a chef can prepare a select menu with top-class accompanying wines. For this purpose, there is an adjoining professional kitchen, while two long tables can accommodate considerable numbers. The environment is bright, welcoming and sophisticated, with four sets of French doors, two of which open on to the lawns at the rear, complete with sunshades and loungers, for the use of all guests. A massive fireplace extends along one end wall and there are armchairs and three sofas to relax in. On display around the room, a selection of prestigious wines tempt you to sample the world-famous specialities of this region!
 

From the main country road, a hilly, winding, rough gravel track passes through woodland, olive groves and vineyards, up to the entrance gates to the estate. Tall conifers shade the informal parking area at the rear. The little cluster of buildings is surrounded by a gravel courtyard, with a central olive tree and pines around the borders. A small stone outbuilding, adorned by a rambling rose, houses the BBQ and pizza-oven, where guests can self-cater, all wood provided.
