Tuscany House

Recently restored 4 en-suite bedroom historic 18C farmhouse (sleeps 8 plus 2 cots) plus an optional 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, lounge/kitchen studio sleeping an additional 5 (not let separately), and a large private pool. The properties have been recently subjected to the highest, no expense spared restoration. Set in the Tuscan hills, in a protected area of outstanding natural beauty, overlooking the fabulous Lake.

The main property sleeps up to 8, plus a couple of cots for children. There is additional optional accommodation in the adjacent, 1 bedroom studio for an additional 5. To ensure complete privacy and tranquility, the studio is only let to those renting the main house on th estate.

The historic historic farmhouse, Casa Padronale, set in large, fully fenced secure grounds in the hills of eastern Tuscany, overlooking the beautiful Lake. The English owners, Robert, an orchestral conductor and Sarah, a potter, live in a neighbouring house on the farm estate, and have won acclaim for their restorations of listed historical properties in the United Kingdom from the Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times, Period House, and Period Property.

Robert and Sarah looked at over 60 properties around Tuscany, before they stumbled upon Calcinaia and it's neighbouring town Anghiari, and knew instantly this was the place where they wanted to be. The location is truly breathtaking and unspoilt.

Calcinaia has recently been subjected to a no expenses spared restoration, of the most exacting standards, using original and antique materials, that is, every ceiling is beamed and has the original hand-made panelled tiles. There are cut stone door and window surrounds throughout, and all the original terracotta floor tiles have been re-laid. All the rooms have high ceilings and the generously sized double bedrooms are en-suite. The house has it's own 12 x 6 meter pool. The farmhousehouse is over 250 square meters or 2690 square feet.
