Mariolina is a spacious Tuscan villa located in the heart of the Capannole hamlet near Radda in Chianti. To the back of this ground floor villa is an entrance from a long, thin garden where there is a flag stone terrace on which is accommodated a table and chairs to dine al fresco. There is also an entrance off the pretty stone pathway that runs through the hamlet.

On entering from the stone pathway is a lovely stone walled sitting area with a simple sofabed and a terracotta paved floor. Two large arched, glass doors provide the room with plenty of light. The sofa can be used as a bed for a single child.

A couple of steps lead down to the dining room which has a second sitting area to the far end. This spacious room has a wooden dining table with four chairs on one side, while two wicker armchairs around a wood coffee table face towards the open fireplace, ideal for the cooler Spring and Autumn evenings. Two steps to the back lead out to the terrace and back garden.

Next to the dining table two steps lead into the small kitchen which has pretty wood units and counter tops. Although small it is well equipped and includes gas hobs, a dishwasher and an oven. The large fridge with separate freezer is located near the dining table.

The bedroom can be accessed either from the lounge at the entrance or from the dining room. The bedroom has a large double bed. There is a wooden walk-in wardrobe. Steep steps lead up to a mezzanine floor above it where there is a single mattress only suitable for older children. Off a little hall from the bedroom is a bathroom with shower.

The garden has some privacy provided by the hedging on either side. There are no views from the garden or villa.
The villa accepts a maximum of 3 people, one of which is a child that can sleep either on the sofabed or the mattress in the bedroom.
Mosquito screens are installed in the bedroom and the bathroom.

The pool lies a short distance from the houses, it has a fantastic view of the surrounding Tuscan hills to one side and the town Radda to the other.

This is a quiet and peaceful corner of the property idea for relaxing after sighseeing or for cooling off after the warm Tuscan day.
