Mandorlo is the latest apartment to be converted in this Tuscan farm. It has a kitchen with a beautiful terracotta barrel vault, a double bedroom and ensuite shower room, and a lounge that can become a second bedroom but only if the guests don't mind crossing the main bedroom - it would suit a family, for example. The village of Casole is within walking distance, you will have a shared swimming pool at the bottom of the garden, and the house is well placed to explore central Tuscany, Siena, Chianti, Monterriggioni and more.
Being close to a village is a wonderful experience: you are in your own little parcel of countryside but a brief walk will take you into Casole d'Elsa, which boasts several cafes and restaurants, a couple of grocery stores, and even a couple of tiny art galleries for resident artists. Walk up for breakfast, then buy some fresh produce and wander home for a fresh lunch and spend the afternoon by the pool; it's a real Tuscan delight.
The walk into the village is just over 1km and takes between 15 and 20 minutes. It's uphill on the way in, but there is a lift to help you up the last steepest climb.
