About this property
Cottage Murlo stunning hilltop castle peace & quiet countryside near art cities
Situated in a strategic position halfway between Florence and Siena the castle S. Andrea a Cellole is within easy access of all the most important tourist sites, yet immersed in the quiet of the countryside where the birds sing and in the hot summer evenings the fireflies glow. Far from major roads and motorways the only sound you will hear is the odd tractor ploughing the vines. What better way to spend a relaxing holiday in our mature garden , taking a dip in the large (12X6 m) pool and sunbathing on wooden sun loungers with mattresses, lunching under the shady pergolas or just sipping a glass of wine, or perhaps reading a book under a shady tree. With both Florence and Siena little over half an hour away by car what could be easier than sightseeing the wonderful art treasures that Tuscany has to offer, returning in the latter part of the day to enjoy a quick dip before dinner in the garden or a foray out to one of the many typical restaurants in the area… of which still very good value. Cottage Murlo is a spacious two bedroom cottage for up to four people. Entering on the ground floor through glass doors from the garden is the spacious fully fitted kitchen /dining /sitting room. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, one twin and one double with high beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The bathroom is ensuite in the master bedroom, and has a bath and shower.

About the host
Hosted by Marzio Bonomi
After working severalyears in the Hotel industry, i have decided to move back home and use all the knowledge and experience gained up util today in order to make our guests feel like highly appreciated ones and welcomed. What better than to set up a rental business and share our home with others and impart my extensive knowledge of accomodation and of the Tuscan land with our guests? We enjoy having guests on property and many have now become good friends and return frequently, its a part of our lives and often we all go out to dinner together or even to events and concerts to make their visit (and yours) special. Hope to Welcome you soon at Cellole!
Why they chose this property
It took an age to find the right property. There was always something wrong with each one we found until this one. Our guidelines were, no near neighbours, no main road, no through road past the property, no electric pylons , fabulous views, near enough to nearest town for comfort. We found it!!!
What makes this property unique
Peace and quiet are the best way of describing Cellole. In the summer months the odd tractor ploughing the vines can be heard in the distance otherwise its just the crickets chirping in the garden thay you can hear. The views are stunning from all angles to say the least. Within less than ten minutes you are in Tavarnelle where there are shops, restaurants, atm's and all other requirements. All the main tourist sites such as Florence, Siena, San Gimignano are a short drive away making this an ideal place to explore Tuscany whilst having a peaceful environment to relax in away from the crowds.
