Description from owner
Description
Nestled in a centuries-old complex of farm-house buildings, just 10 minutes drive from the medieval "skyscraper" fortress town of San Gimignano...Le Fontanelle is the perfect place to soak in Tuscany's sunshine, culture, food and fun.
An easy drive from Pisa, Florence and Siena...Le Fontanelle is a perfect base for exploring Tuscany. The charming villages and wine-tasting caves of Chianti are less than 30 minutes away. But with its shared 18 x 8m swimming pool, shaded pergola for eating 'al fresco' and acres of wooded hillside you might not want to leave!
Nearby Volterra is another popular attraction, especially for fans of the best-selling "Twilight" series of vampire books and films.
Our 2-bedroom/2 bathroom property will sleep up to 5 people. Furnishings include TV/DVD, charcoal BBQ, wood-burning fireplace and fully-kitted out kitchen.
Bikes and scooters are available for rent locally. Horse-back riding stables are a short drive away. Tours of the area's historic sights, vineyards and olive presses can be easily organised.
And if you're planning a holiday with friends, neighbouring units on the same property are also available for hire.
Further details indoors
You will be staying in the Villa Agrifoglia.
At ground-level, with south-facing views of the property's hilly 6-hectare forest and stream, the 90sq.meter property contains 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a double bed in each of the rooms. With a day-bed in the larger of the two bedrooms, the property easily sleeps 5. There is also room for a baby's travel cot, if you bring one.
On the first floor, overlooking the 18 x 8m swimming pool and a valley of perfumed vegetation, there is an open-plan living and dining room with TV, DVD and small library.
Should you get bored of the region's world-famous cuisine, our kitchen is fully-kitted out to satisfy even the fussiest chef, with enough seating and tableware to throw a dinner party for 8.
Even at the height of summer, the house's traditional Tuscan construction keeps it cool and breezy. During the colder months, the property is warmed by centrally-heated radiators and a child-friendly raised wood-burning fireplace.
Further details outdoors
We overlook a wooded valley, where locals find truffles in the fall. At night, you can sometimes hear the wild boar snorting at each other! The property is safely fenced and gated, but if you open the gates, you are free to walk the wooded paths down to a creek at the bottom of the small valley. Completely charming.
