The large, open layout of this house makes it a favorite for family/friend reunions, and its location provides lovely morning views. The space Casetta al Padule (sleeps 8-10) is our most recent renovation at Spannocchia. Completed in 1999, the house is located on the site of a medieval tannery. The large, open layout of this house makes it a favorite for family/friend reunions, and its location next to the cow pasture provides lovely morning views of the cows. The house has 4 bedrooms, one downstairs and 3 upstairs. One master bedroom has a private bath with shower and a small terrace. There are two additional full baths with tub/shower – one upstairs and one downstairs. Many decorative details in the house feature the local yellow Sienese marble : a buttery yellow stone marbled with ochre and bronze veins. The table in the kitchen required 8 people to move it in and the main wall of the house features original stonework from the tannery. The living room features an unusual heating system for the house, which incorporates both firewood used in the fireplace, and a natural gas furnace, with vents to the upstairs, allowing for heating with both wood and/or gas. A large dining table runs along the far wall of the living room, seating 10 comfortably, and the bench along one side was made from the old hay manger. A large covered terrace on the back of the house provides ample space for outdoor dining and gathering. The kitchen is stocked with all the items needed to make and serve meals.
