Pecciolino is located within a two hundred year old “casa colonica” — one of several traditional farmhouses on a large Chianti wine estate. Conveniences like a bakery and grocery store are found just a mile away in the small village of San Vincenzo a Torri. Three miles away is Montelupo Fiorentino, an important center for ceramics during the middle ages and the Renaissance; today, visitors can explore its intriguing ceramics museum. Florence is just ten miles away and can be reached by a public bus from a nearby town. The closest train station is at Montelupo (6 km). Although it is possible to use public transportation for some destinations, a car is required for guests who stay at Pecciolino.

The surrounding landscape is dotted with medieval hill towns. Destinations like Siena and San Gimignano are within easy reach. Follow the SS222, the Strada Chiantigiana, the ancient wine road that traverses the countryside between Florence and Siena. Pecciolino is strategically located for visiting Lucca, Pisa, and the beaches of the Versilian Riviera. A swimming pool, golf course, tennis courts, and horseback riding facilities are located nearby.

Occupying half of a traditional farm cottage, Pecciolino enjoys an outstanding view of the countryside, olive groves, and vineyards, and has access to a pretty terrace, furnished for al fresco dining.

An entrance hall leads into a cozy living room with a fireplace. The rustic, comfortable furniture sets a warm tone that is maintained throughout. A small, fully equipped eat-in kitchen with a dishwasher is also located on the ground floor, as well as a single bedroom and two bathrooms.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and the other with joinable twin beds. One bedroom has an en suite bathroom; guests in the second bedroom have to use the bathroom downstairs.

Pecciolino is centrally heated, and has a clothes washing machine.

Piccolo Peccioli occupies the other half of the cottage. Rented together, the two properties are ideal for two families traveling together who desire separate living quarters.
