Description:
RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. Villa Iside is a farmhouse dating back to 1878, immersed in the splendid setting of the green hills surrounding the Valdera. Originally constructed as a farmhouse, surrounded by outbuildings used as barns and animal shelters, it has been brought back to life after careful restoration. The interiors, where the floors in antique terracotta, the vaulted terracotta ceilings on the ground floor or those on the first floor with cypress beams and terracotta tiles have been preserved, are furnished with particular sobriety and attention to detail, blending harmoniously with the extraordinary simplicity of the materials of rural origin of typical Tuscan buildings. From the windows of the house and from the pool area, nature offers a wonderful panorama, starting from the garden and stretching as far as the eye can see over the undulating hills surrounding the house, forming a harmonious blend of shapes and colours. The guests of this elegant farmhouse can decide to relax in this oasis of peace and natural well-being, but at the same time seek exciting diversions thanks to the advantageous geographical position which make it possible to quickly reach the main art cities of Tuscany, such as Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca, as well as the medieval borghi of San Gimignano, Volterra and Peccioli. Wellness enthusiasts can relax in the thermal pool of Casciana Terme while golfers can play in the beautiful panoramic golf club of Castelfalfi.
