Description

Dreaming of an inspirational holiday in the heart of the marvellous Chianti territory? Immerge yourself in a landscape which will awaken your senses with its colours, flavours, scents, sceneries and traditions. Here the medieval villages will introduce you to the authentic Tuscany of bygone days.
Here, at 4 km from Badia a Passignano, a stunning 11th century abbey, is located the holiday accommodation, a traditional stone country house.

The accommodation consists of a large villa of 460 sqm and a cottage of 110 sq m, and enjoys a breath-taking view over the valley. It is surrounded by a private garden with a beautiful swimming pool (12 x 4 m, depth 160 cm, open May-Sept, with outdoor shower) and an amazing Jacuzzi tub, all set in 40 hectares of private land, where guests can go for a walk or use the mountain bikes at their disposal.
The pergola of the main house is the perfect location for relaxing moments reading a book, sipping an excellent Chianti wine, or for al fresco dining.
The traditional architectural characteristics of the house – stone walls, wooden beams and arched ceilings – together with the colours and the Tuscan furniture bestow a warm and comfortable touch to your holiday. Not neglected are modern comforts such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning in all rooms, Sat-TV and DVD player.

The main villa has an entrance which leads into a spacious fully equipped kitchen (oven, fridge with freezer, dishwasher, microwave, espresso coffee machine, American coffee machine, kettle, toaster, blender, fruit juicer) with a genuine fireplace, and a dining room. The rest of the ground floor consists of an enormous lounge area, which includes a grand piano, and a toilette.
On the first floor there are six bedrooms (4 double, 1 twin and 1 single bedroom); all bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom (5 with shower and 1 with a bathtub and showerhead, hair dryers). A second kitchen and a living room, with a lovely view over the surrounding countryside, complete the floor.
The cottage, next to the main villa and located in front of the pool, has two bedrooms (a double and a twin bedroom), a bathroom with shower, a kitchen and a lounge overlooking the pool.
