Thirty minutes from Florence in the heart of Tuscany sits Casa delle Campane,
a wonderful Italian country house set on a thirty-acre rolling patchwork of olive
groves, woods and fields. All around are spectacular views of the fabled Tuscan
landscape, and the faint sound of church bells drifts up from the valley below.
It is a perfect spot for an Italian idyll, offering quiet relaxation in a secluded
natural setting as well as a convenient home base for explorations of the region,
from the historic cities of Florence, Siena, Lucca, and Pisa to the smaller towns
of San Gimignano and Volterra and the tiny villages along the ancient Chianti
wine road. Facilities for golf and horseback riding are a short drive away. Shops
and services are found in the nearby towns of Montespertoli, San Casciano and
Tavernelle.
Set on a hillside, the house is surrounded
by grass, trees and it has a lovely pool (12 x 6 meters), its deck furnished with
loungers and sun umbrellas. A large terrace off the farmhouse provides a cool
spot for outdoor dining under a shaded loggia. Casa delle Campane strikes a balance
between elegance and rusticity. Terracotta floors, whitewashed walls and beamed
ceilings accent its spotless, light-filled interiors, and carefully chosen traditional
furnishings and chandeliers complement the building's immaculate restoration.
On the ground floor a central hallway gives access
to all the ground floor rooms, a comfortable living room with fireplace, a pleasant
dining room, and a kitchen combining a wonderful traditional ambience with first-rate
amenities including dishwasher and microwave. Also
on the ground floor are a snug study, a utility room with washer, dryer and an
extra refrigerator/freezer, two bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom, and a bathroom
just next to the other bedroom (which is considerably smaller) but with common
access from the hall. Upstairs are four more bedrooms (air conditioned), each
with en suite bath. Four bedrooms
have twin beds that can be made up as twins or queen. The other bedrooms have
king-sized beds. Bedroom windows are screened. Four bathrooms have shower and
two have tubs. The villa is centrally heated, and provided with satellite TV,
CD stereo, phone, fax, security gate and barbecue grill. |
