GERMAGNANA 10

Toscana - Pisa - San Miniato

Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE (CIR CODE: 050 032 AAT 0020). This old farmhouse, set amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany, is located within the protected nature reserve of the same name and enjoys a sublime panorama over unique medieval borghi such as San Miniato or Montopoli Val d'Arno. Upon arrival, the guest will find an old farmhouse that has been artfully restored and which still shows signs of the various eras and the consequent modifications made over the centuries. The picturesque 11th century lookout tower, still intact, keeps watch like a sentinel over the privacy of this property. The farmhouse, surrounded by a green lawn, offers unique views and relaxing corners where you can enjoy the scent of the flowers and herbs, leaving you with indelible memories for a long time. Close to the house, set in greenery as in a panoramic terrace, is the swimming pool with its soft colours typical of the local tufa rocks where you can spend unique moments relaxing with a cocktail at the poolside or stretched out on a sunbed, kissed by the Tuscan sun. Indoors, you will find many typical materials of the area, such as the roof and ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, stone walls, arches in stone or red brick and floors in hand-crafted terracotta which, combined with the good taste of the owners, have produced rooms of antique flavour and modern comfort. The structure, spread out over three levels, consists of two apartments on the ground floor, one on the first floor. There are bedrooms with air-conditioning that face the various areas of the park, elegant living areas, a splendid kitchen that combines the modern with the old - a stainless steel worktop with the original 19th century fireplace, a large dining room, a tea area and a reading area in the tower, an outdoor dining area shaded by large umbrellas, all completed by the panoramic swimming pool. The strategic position of this property allows you to get quickly to main tourist destinations such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Montecatini Terme and Siena as well as to the Tyrrhenian coast with the renowned golden beaches of Versilia with its pearl, Forte dei Marmi. The house is an excellent starting point for going off on bike rides or else you can just relax in the large garden with its various cosy set up areas and be in contact with nature, enjoying the lazy rural atmosphere. For spa lovers, about 50 minutes away is Grotta Giusti with its thermal cave baths or Casciana Terme with its outdoor thermal pool. Beach lovers can take advantage of personalised discounts at the bathing establishment “Bagno Italia” in Viareggio. On request, there are various hiking trails or you can go riding at the nearby stables which offers special prices to our guests. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.

The layout worked very well for our family as everyone could have their own private areas for sleeping and the common areas were large enough for all 11 of us to be together comfortably. The pool was most appreciated however as it was so hot while we were there and the pool was extremely clean and well maintained - and huge! It was perfect! (So clean in fact that we found my daughters pearl earring and backing the next day at the bottom!)
