I Cipressi benefits from being an independent house within this beautifully restored small hamlet. It has its own private garden and enjoys windows on all sides providing light and airiness. In front of the house there is a wonderful garden filled with indigenous plants, filling the air with a fragrance of lavender and rosemary while you dine al fresco on the fully furnished terrace. The views are stupendous, to the left over vineyards towards the Chianti hills, the front overlooks the valley towards the open Crete lands in the south and to the right over the neighbouring natural forested hills. The back of the house faces out onto the flower beds in the flagstone courtyard of the hamlet and towards the swimming pool area. A mature oak tree at the bottom of the garden provides a shady nook for relaxation.
The interior tastefully combines all modern comforts and facilities with a beautifully restored gabled wood beam ceiling, chestnut shuttered windows and typical Tuscan terracotta floors.
On entering the house from the terrace, you find yourself in a spacious lounge that is graced by a wood-burning stove. The comfortable modern furniture harmonises with the Tuscan surroundings. The seating area faces out through the glazed double doors to the patio and the view beyond. In one corner there is a large flat screen TV, CD/DVD player and HiFi system with MP3 connection. There is a selection of CDs and DVDs for your use.
To the right there is a beautifully appointed modern kitchen with wooden faced fitted units and polished granite work tops. It is equipped with built in oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave oven and many small appliances. The window overlooks I Cipressi's garden and onto the hills beyond. To one side of the kitchen there is a dining area with a table seating four. This area leads via a windowed lobby to a twin bedroom and bathroom with shower. The bedroom enjoys views on 2 aspects, towards the Chianti hills and the garden.
To the left of the lounge there is a small hall from which you enter into the master bedroom that has an en-suite bathroom with shower. This room is especially light and airy due to the terracotta tiled local barn style windows that have views of the surrounding wooded hills. These windows are fitted on the inside with opening double glazed metal frames for ventilation and with co-ordinated blinds and curtains to provide a flexible level of lighting.
From the hall, a wooden staircase leads down to the spacious work and play room that has access to the garden. For play there is a mini soccer table and a variety of table games, for work or play there is a broadband satellite internet connection for your own laptop.
