Tignano, Tignano - Barberino Val d'Elsa - Florence and Chianti

5 bedrooms 4 bathrooms 8 to 10 guests Private Pool

Have you long-dreamed of celebrating a special occasion with family and friends in a quintessential Tuscan villa? Then, you need look no further than Tignano, a delightful stone property, a half-hour drive from Florence, that oozes character and style. You'll really appreciate the care and thought that has gone into preserving the original character and structure of this pretty villa. There's a large open-plan feel to the ground floor, where your guests can take their pick from two lounges and a dining room, all featuring classic Tuscan touches such as terracotta tiles, wooden ceiling beams and even an original fireplace. Upstairs, the property becomes an intriguing warren, with five bedrooms reached by a combination of three staircases.

When it comes to relaxing outside, you'll find that the covered terrace and neighbouring patio offer lovers of the sun or shade the perfect location for reading a book, morning coffee, afternoon tea and, of course, dining al fresco. Close by, a deckchair awaits on the large lawn, encircled by trees and shrubs, while iris-lined steps lead to the private pool, where you can enjoy magnificent vistas of the vines, olive groves and meadows that surround this wonderful villa.

Our Thoughts
Tignano is a truly stunning property and looks every inch the rustic must-have villa. We think you will find the well-maintained garden – with its simply superlative views – a delightful place to unwind at the end of the day. Special touches in the garden include the three pergolas by the pool, naturally shaded by climbing plants. The local area has plenty to keep you occupied, too, with an adjacent castle as well as the hamlet from which Tignano takes its name.

Notes
Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two en-suite. There are steps between all the ground-floor rooms. Two separate flights of steps lead to the first floor. The first stairs give access to bedrooms 1 and 2; the second staircase leads to bedrooms 3 and 4. A spiral staircase leads to bedroom 5. This last bedroom is very small with room only for twin beds and is recommended as suitable for children. The owner's son and his family live at the property but they do not use the pool or areas of the property that are private to guests. Three mountain bikes are available free of charge.
Fire Place: open

Pool
The pool is fenced while additional privacy is provided by the surrounding olive groves and trees. It is located via stone steps on the slope of the lawn and the water is entered by steps and a handrail. Pool size: 13m x 6m, 1.5m deep. Open May to September.

Barberino Val d’Elsa, 2km away, is the nearest village, it is a small hamlet but there are shops there. There is another village, Tavernelle, which is 3km away where there are some restaurants and a supermarket. In the town Poggibonsi, 10km away, there is a large supermarket and wide selection of shops. An excellent restaurant that we recommend you try is La Fattoria, which is located just before Tavernelle
