For your comfort, sun loungers and umbrellas are sited on the terrace surrounding the pool. Built in steps lead you gradually in to the shallow area of the pool.
The hamlet has been well restored to retain many of the original features of terracotta tiled floors, sturdy wooden beams on the ceiling and explosed brick walls.

Buongiorno To-Tuscany!
What can I say but "absolutely awesome!!", thank you all very much.
Being fairly profficient in French and having had many good holidays in Dordogne and the Cote d'Azure, I have to admit to being a little bit nervous about taking the risk with our main summer holiday.
However, I now regret not doing this 10 years ago.
Tuscany was absoutely stunning, the accommodation was first class and the holiday was certainly one of our best ever experiences in mainland Europe.
A big thanks to Lisa for pointing us in the direction of such a wonderful place to stay, and an even bigger thanks to Stefania and Alessandro for making us feel so welcome in their home and in their country.
I would highly recommend the accommodation to anyone looking for a peaceful time yet with access to some lovely places to visit.
I am trying hard to think of some constructive criticism to help you to improve your service offering, however all I can say is keep on doing what you are already doing. It is first class.
My wife is now regularly logging on to your website and looking what date s are free until Christmas. I have a feeling we shall be back in Italy very soon!
Thanks very much indeed.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
