Excellent pool and views of the Florentine vista are a must to enjoy. The property is complete with lovely olive groves and pear orchards to enjoy in the summer, or perhaps a window side grapevine from the master bedroom. Exploring the grounds you will find an array of wildlife including rabbits, pigs, and bambis (if you are lucky). Additionally there appears to be a metal gazebo that is used regularly for the marriage of local boars, which as we understand is part of the authentic Italian villa experience. The lake is not swimmable but can still be enjoyed from the lake side veranda or for the more adventurous there is a ladder which you can climb down to tempt the lake monsters with your toes. The hills next to the lake can be used to teach old children how to ride bikes. The villa was authentic, and included a fantastic sky toilet in one of the bedrooms. Claudio the groundskeeper is a true saint, and did his very best to accomodate our exclusively English group, and saved us in a pickle. The nearby village is a challenging enough 20-30 minute walk to build up a sweat, but it does contain two restaurants and a bus stop. Taxis will have difficulties finding this villa, getting to this villa by taxi is for those who are adventurous at heart. All in all, a great Tuscan villa that will leave you with some unforgettable memories.
