COUNTRY HOUSE LO SPIGO 4

Toscana - Firenze - TAVARNELLE VAL DI PESA

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only - CIR CODE: 048054LTN0118). Country House Lo Spigo is a traditional Tuscan country house, located 405 m above sea level, converted from an authentic 19th century barn. It was acquired and completely renovated by the current owner who, while respecting the structure with its original window ventilation grilles and wooden ceiling beams, has modified it, transforming it into a welcoming country house with beautiful oak floors, air conditioning, comfortable bedrooms and well-equipped living areas. Embellishing the house is the beautiful surrounding garden, where the unmistakable Chianti hills, dotted with old borghi and expanses of vines, frame the wonderful patio which, in front of the house, contains the fully-equipped pergola and the swimming pool, surrounded by greenery and olive trees and mellowed by the scent of lavender bushes. Located just outside the medieval borghi of Barberino Tavarnelle and San Donato in Poggio, the property enjoys a strategic position: by taking the scenic Chiantigiana road, a true panoramic link that connects Siena (about 40 km) to Florence (about 30 km), you can make daily excursions to visit the renowned towns of Radda, Gaiole, Greve and Panzano, rich in art treasures, churches and Renaissance villas perched on panoramic hills, or go a little further to discover the charm of San Gimignano, Volterra or Montalcino.

COUNTRY HOUSE LO SPIGO HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

Country House Lo Spigo lies on sloping terrain that allows outside access from the two floors of which it is composed. On the ground floor is the main entrance that leads into the living room with kitchen and dining area; from here a few steps lead up to a double bedroom (with joinable beds). Downstairs is the living room with satellite TV, a double bedroom with French windows leading out to the garden and ensuite bathroom with shower, and a bathroom with shower with anteroom used as a small laundry with washing machine.

Park:

The house is surrounded by about 1200 sq m of terrain mainly planted with olive trees. The usable garden area extends over two levels for an area of about 700 sq m of lawn, lavender and rosemary bushes, lemon and fruit trees. In front of the entrance to the house, across a paved patio, you come to the beautiful jasmine-covered pergola furnished with a seating area, dining table and barbecue and with, on the side, the solarium and swimming pool. A flight of steps from the patio leads down to the lower lawn area and parking lot. In front of the house is a parking area. The property is accessed through a remote-controlled gate shared with another property located about 150 m further on. Although not fenced, the house lies within a quiet secluded area thanks to the trees that surround it. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool, set in the green panoramic part of the garden at the side of the house, is located on the same level as it, a few metres away. Measuring 6 x 3.25 m with a constant depth of 1.60 m, it is lined in walnut-coloured travertine and has salt purification, steps for access to the water on one of the short sides and an internal spotlight. Sunbeds, low tables, an umbrella and a portable, cold-water shower are set out on the beautiful paving that surrounds the pool. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

TO DO

Location and distances


Located in the centre of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena, whose art and culture it has always breathed, and nestled in the green hills of Chianti, Barberino-Tavarnelle has preserved over the centuries all the natural beauty of the landscape. The austere elegance of its castles and medieval borghi, the art treasures conserved in its churches, fit harmoniously in the evocative Florentine Chianti, characterised by nature and an unmistakable landscape, sweet and austere, of vineyards, olive groves and cypresses. Poggibonsi, about 15 km from the property, is a commercial centre where you can satisfy all shopping needs and find excellent taverns and wine bars, as well as the train station that allows quick travel towards both Siena and Florence. Thanks to the Siena-Florence connection, the property is quickly reachable from the airports of the region and from the nearest motorway exits from both the south and the north. About 1 km from the property, in the historic town of San Donato in Poggio, a tiny borgo that preserves its medieval heritage intact, as evidenced by the old town walls and the watchtower, you will find all main services, restaurants and bars (a supermarket, the pharmacy and a restaurant/pizzeria area just 300 m away).
