La Sassolina, Montaione - Florence and Chianti

La Sassolina was a village school until the 1970s and is located on the edge of the small hamlet of Iano. Today, this former schoolhouse has been thoughtfully renovated into a charming Tuscan holiday home. Whether for a multi-generational family, a group of friends, or parents with young children, the house suits a variety of guests. Families with little ones will particularly appreciate the single-level layout and the private pool with a shallow end designed for safe splashing.

The peaceful village of Iano offers a glimpse of local life, with a small grocery shop, restaurant and bar within walking distance. The nearby town of Montaione, with its churches and surrounding castles, is just a short drive away. Pisa, Siena and the Chianti wine region are all ideal for day trips.

Built from brick and partially painted yellow, the house is surrounded by a lovingly tended garden filled with flowering plants and lemon trees in terracotta pots. A dense hedge ensures privacy, and the fenced pool offers added peace of mind for families. A large dining table sits under a gazebo, providing a perfect spot for meals outdoors, while additional seating areas are dotted around the garden.

All living spaces are on the ground floor. A staircase leads to a small area with gym equipment, secured at the bottom with a safety gate to prevent small children from climbing upstairs. Inside, La Sassolina has been restored with great care and furnished with numerous 19th-century antiques, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
