country house, panoramic view and smart-working
Description
Country house, with a breathtaking view of more than 180 ° of Volterra. Excellent starting point to reach the most interesting places of the region of Tuscany and the sea. Ideal for a group of friends or families, surrounded by pastures, olive groves and woods, cozy, casual setting, relaxation and parties. The space In a country house looking out over 180° of the enchanting Volterra panorama, you will discover a holiday that you’ll immediately enjoy: this country house will transport you to a world that will take you in and let you finally escape the humdrum of everyday life. The Podere Casa Vecchia is located in Chianni (Pisa), 10km from the hot springs of Casciana Terme and is a very convenient starting point to explore the major artistic and cultural meccas of Tuscany. The Podere Casa Vecchia is a wonderfully remodeled colonial structure, surrounded by meadows, woods, and olive groves, and houses antique furniture that will make you feel right at home. The entire second floor is for our guests and is composed of 120 square metres with its own entrance, a lounge area, a kitchen, and a large, cozy fireplace that will help you relax. I live on the ground floor, and I can assist you with any needs you may have. I can also suggest some places to visit, off the beaten track. Your privacy is my utmost priority. The Podere Casa Vecchia is a perfect getaway for groups or families. In the large meadow behind the house, you’ll find a large terrace complete with a barbeque grill, a picnic table, and a spacious area where you can relax in the shade of a majestic oak tree. We can host up to 12 people. The pricing can vary according to the number of guests and duration of stay. Guest access The structure can host up to eight guests, with an option to add spare beds if necessary. We offer autonomous use of the apartment with kitchen. All the rooms and washrooms are complete with heating, and wood for the cozy fireplace is provided. Also available are baby beds and high chairs for our infant guests. Pets are allowed, keeping in mind the animals already living with us on the farm (cats, chickens). Ascending a beautiful stone staircase, you come to the rooms furnished with vintage furniture. Available are: a double-room connected to an adjacent room with single beds, sharing one bathroom; a double-room separated from an adjacent room with single beds, sharing one bathroom; and a large double-room having its own bathroom. There is also a large living space with kitchen facilities and a beautiful stone fireplace designed for relaxation and meals. All linens are furnished and have been purchased with special attention given to the quality of their materials (goose-down comforters and quilts, anti-allergy and/or orthopaedic feather pillows, made of cotton of highest Italian quality). IN THE PROPERTY Around the house you will find terraces and verandas complete with tables and lounge chairs for basking in the sun, as well as a patio with a large wooden table, ideal for barbeques. There is also a shaded area where you can simply take a nap or enjoy your favourite book under the gentle branches of a majestic oak tree. Other things to note Near the village of Chianni, you can explore on foot, by bicycle, or on horseback a labyrinth of footpaths and trails rich in natural and historic treasures. We can supply you with maps to plan your itinerary. You can also rent mountain bikes in the nearby town of Casciana Terme, where it is also possible to rent a Quad (a small, 4-wheel motorscooter) and go on a guided excursion. In the woods surrounding the Farm there is a lovely little brook and, from the beginning of June as the summer sun warms the earth, you can go there to refresh mind and body, taking your place in the environment of wildlife including squirrels, tiny tree frogs, and, towards dusk, porcupines and wild boar. In the valley of the farm runs the Sterza river where you can go swimming at Garetto place. The village of Chianni (also accessible on foot) there is a swimming pool facility and a children's pool. You can also find swimming pools in the towns of Casciana Terme and Peccioli; the latter is particularly interesting and also has a prehistoric park for children. In the valley of Chianni lies the community of Terricciola and the famous Wine Path (la Strada del Vino), where local producers of fine Chianti delle Colline Pisane wine open their vineyards for wine tasting.
