The beautifully restored stone country house is located in Chianti half-way between Florence and Siena. It is walking distance to the charming village of San Donato in Poggio where you will find a deli, coffee bar, butcher shop, pharmacy, bancomat, restaurants and other shops.

You can relax and settle into a different rhythm here under the wisteria-covered pergola or on the covered loggia or by the beautiful swimming pool (7m x 14m) which is surrounded by flower-filled antique orci. Or take a hike in the woods or to a near-by winery.

Original bread and pizza wood-burning oven with access from the covered loggia with attached pergola for dining out, barbecue and oven. Small covered loggia overlooking the pool completely fenced in swimming pool, with sun beds and umbrellas. Covered parking area. The house is surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and woodlands with walking paths. Private Bocce Ball Court and ping pong table available in the garden.

We highly recommend this villa in central Tuscany for clients looking to not hire a car and be within walking distance of the local village
