There is only one rental unit at "Cucule"!

This private tranquil haven lies off the beaten track, in the Chianti wine region. It nestles on a hillside just below the tiny hamlet of S. Vincenti with beautiful views over a secluded valley across to the hilltop village of Montebenichi.

Our simple farmhouse, originally built in the 1800’s, has been lovingly restored, literally from ruins, by its owner, using traditional Tuscan materials including chestnut beams and terracotta ceiling and floor tiles. The apartment reflects the traditional country style of the house and includes many of the owners finds from trips to India and Africa as a textile designer, whilst having up-to-date modern appliances and high quality fixtures and fittings. From the wonderful smell of lavender and other herbs planted around the house, to the eclectic furnishings that decorate the rooms inside, Casa Cucule is truly a home.

Casa Cucule is a perfect base, for exploring the local hilltop villages nearby or the wonderful renaissance cities of Siena (35 minutes.), Arezzo (40 minutes), Florence (60 minutes), and San Gimigniano (90 minute); all of which are within easy reach. It is also a great location if you enjoy walking and trekking; there are many local country roads, tracks and marked walks to follow.

The timeless relaxing quality of the area, the personal quality of the accommodation and the ease of reaching many tourist attractions make Casa Cucule perfectly situated for solitude or exploring whatever you want your holiday to be.

Accommodation:
The private, self-contained and spacious, 60 square meter, one bedroom apartment is located on the ground floor of the left hand side of the house. It can sleep two to four people and includes a roomy double bedroom with en-suite shower room. A comfortable living space with a sitting area (sofabed), a dining area, and a fully fitted 'cooks' kitchen allow for plenty of space to lounge, cook a wonderful meal with local ingredients, or just relax and enjoy the peace.

The large private terrace area to the front and side of the apartment is comfortably furnished and is perfect for leisurely "al fresco" meals, napping on a sun lounger soaking up the Tuscan sunshine, enjoying the surrounding aromatic garden, and gazing at the stunning views beyond by day or the star lit sky at night.

Access:
Main roads, country tarmac road and then approximately three kilometers of country track road.
