It is a unique rental home nestling on the farm, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards with magnificent views of the Chianti countryside. Casavecchia is in close proximity to Florence, Siena, Pisa, and many charming historical towns - making it a perfect Tuscan holiday experience.
The space
The entrance leads you through a large stone portal dating back to the renaissance into an impressive reception area which boasts high wooden beamed ceilings and antique furniture. A large painting of the family tree plus other historic paintings fill this room. An enormous sofa and various comfortable chairs make this area feel very sumptuous and welcoming.
A smaller Living room connects through a door from the reception room. There are two sofas and two armchairs and various other pieces of furniture including a TV. A stone fireplace is positioned at the end of this room. A door leads outside to the large walled garden, perfect alfresco dining, with a private swimming pool behind a small gate. Through a door from this living room is a large dining room, accommodating over 12 people. The room features a large fireplace and trompe lâoeil paintings on the walls; this dining room also has a door leading to the garden outside.
