Location:
This farmhouse cottage is set amongst vineyards and olive groves in the heart of the Chianti countryside. The property is located about 3 kilometres from Mercatale Val di Pesa, approximately 25 kms from Florence, 55 kms from Siena and 7 kms from San Casciano Val di Pesa. Mercatale is the closest town for general shopping and public transport. From Mercatale there is a daily bus service to both Florence and Siena. The location is ideal for touring and discovering Tuscany.
Description:
The recently refurbished ex-barn is situated next to a larger home (belonging to the owner’s brother) and in front of the shared swimming pool. The house measures approximately 100 square meters and is set up on two levels. The ground floor has three glass doors. One door leads into the kitchen (with a table for 3, fridge, stove, microwave, oven), and two doors lead into the living/dining area (table for 6/8, double sofabed and a working fireplace). Approx. 15 steps (no handrail) rise up from the living area to two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with two twins) each with an ensuite bathroom (both with showers). An exterior staircase (approx. 15 steps) also accesses this upper floor.
There are wood beam ceilings and hardwood floors. The interior of the house is furnished in a decidedly modern style. It is equipped with an alarm system, dishwasher, DVD, safe, washing machine and television. Linen and kitchenware are supplied. There is no telephone.
The garden area includes parking space. There are chairs and a table for outdoor dining. The house next door uses the same entrance drive but does not split outdoor space except for around the pool. The swimming pool measures approx. 6 X 10 meters. The pool would be shared between both properties.
Sleeps max. 4 plus 2 guests.
Positive aspects:
A new, fresh and different style, wonderful location, comfortable and spacious, good sunlight.
Negative aspects:
Close proximity to the other property and a road, shared swimming pool (situated close to the house), a guest must pass through a bedroom to access either ensuite bathroom.
Our personal opinion:
“An unusual and attractive home with a minimalist approach, situated in a typical, Tuscan country location.”
