This barn was completely renovated in 2016, retaining its original structure of stone walls and an imposing central column. Enter from the private gravel court through a glass door into the ground floor – a living space with sofas, a fireplace, dining area and ultra-modern kitchen nook. A panoramic window overlooks the private garden, which has a shaded pergola for al fresco dining. Follow the steel staircase to the lofted double bedroom, with en-suite bathroom.
We love the subtle elegance of this unit, with its gentle nods to Africa, and its seemless blend of historic with contemporary design. A real gem.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Private garden, air conditioning, floor heating, wifi, stereo, fireplace, washing machine, hairdryer, barbecue. The kitchen has a gas range, stove, electric oven and fridge with freezer. Baby cot and high chair are available on request.
AROUND
This vacation home for rent in Italy is located only 7km (15 minutes by car) from the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Siena, in the Chianti region. It’s also within easy reach of Florence and other Tuscan villages and cities.
Day trips to Siena and the small, walled medieval town of San Gimminano (known as the Town of Fine Towers) are highly recommended — as are visits to quieter local towns like San Giovanni d’Asso (with its 12th-century castle), Radda and Greve.
