La Rimessa at Podere La Casetta, Montaione - Florence and Chianti

Podere La Casetta is a lovely restored estate of 7 little villas located about 2km from the hill top town of Montaione. It is a working farm which produces its own olive oil and wine. It is surrounded by the farm olive groves.

The pool is down a short path, and protected from the villas by a little forest, which provides it with plenty of privacy. There are two pools, a larger, deeper one and a baby pool. Around them are several places to relax.

The estate is composed of two buildings which house the 7 villas and a reception area. Throughout the estate the gardens are well maintained and offer pretty views through the surrounding olive grove. To one side Montaione can be seen on the hill across the property's olive grove and Vineyard.

La Rimessa is a lovely, two storey Tuscan villa located in the restored barn of the Podere la Casetta estate. It is attached on one side to another villa and has three sides free and surrounded by the estate garden and a small garden of its own with a lot of privacy.

In the little private garden there is a pretty little terrace paved in terracotta and shaded by a wooden pergola covered with vines. On the terrace is a table with six chairs to dine al fresco. A couple of sun beds are also in the garden from where it's possible to enjoy simple views of the Tuscan countryside over the surrounding plants.

Inside is a characteristic open plan room which has a double sofa against one wall and a wooden table with four chairs in the centre. Plenty of light is provided by the double glass and wood doors and window.

Along the back wall is a well equipped kitchenette which includes gas hobs, an oven and a fridge with a small freezer compartment. In a corner is an indoor barbeque. The room has the original floor paved in terracotta and a ceiling of wooden beams and terracotta tiles.

Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom which has a lovely antique iron bed and a writing desk. There is a large built-in wardrobe. En-suite is a small bathroom with shower with no shower tray.
