*** THE PLACE***
Casa BANDITELLO, is one of the 2 stone houses that are part of the Capanne di Sopra estate. Although close, their arrangement allows a totally autonomous stay.
The site is located 1.3 km from Montefollonico and 7 km from Montepulciano, in a secluded and panoramic position, with a wide view of the Montepulciano valley, the temple of San Biagio, the summit of Monte Amiata and the hills of the Val d'Orcia .
To preserve the rural character we have chosen not to have a swimming pool.
In the property there are 4 cats, with adequate shelter, well cared for and under veterinary supervision.
About 400 meters from the provincial road, the house is accessible only through a private dirt road in an environment of peaceful Tuscan countryside, with olive groves, vineyards and woods.
