Born from the careful renovation of an ancient ruin once used as a barn, this exceptional vacation rental retains all the character of its origins through its distinctive stone-clad exterior and warm, rustic interior, while offering every modern comfort expected of a refined countryside retreat. Covering a total area of approximately 170 square metres across 2 floors, the property is enveloped by a lush private yard of around 1,000 square metres, thoughtfully landscaped with manicured lawns and framed by olive trees, cypresses, and pines that create a serene and picturesque setting.

In front of the main entrance, 2 covered porches are equipped with tables and chairs, providing ideal settings for leisurely alfresco dining or simply unwinding while taking in the surrounding countryside. The private yard, extending to approximately 1,000 square metres and delimited by a hedge screen that ensures complete privacy from the adjacent property, is a tranquil haven of manicured lawns interspersed with olive trees, cypresses, and pines lining the garden paths.
The non-heated swimming pool is a true centrepiece of the outdoor experience, open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Facing south and positioned on a private terrace approximately 30 metres from the house, it is reached via a short flight of steps and enjoys unobstructed views of the rolling Tuscan countryside, as it is bounded by a low hedge screen that preserves the panorama rather than concealing it. The rectangular pool measures 4x8 metres with a constant depth of 1.10 metres, features Roman steps for water access, and is lined in clear PVC with a stone-paved border and chlorine purification. Surrounding the pool in the lawn area, a gazebo and a stone structure housing a barbecue create a perfect setting for poolside meals and social gatherings.
