HOLIDAYS IN AN ANCIENT TUSCAN FARM - THE BASILOCCO

The apartment (52 m2) is spread over three levels and owes its name to the legendary figure of the brigand Antonio Magrini, called Basilocco, who was killed here by the carabinieri in 1904. But don't be afraid: the ghost is not there!

The door at the back of the building leads to a living room with fireplace, table, chairs and a kitchenette with a small fridge. Some steps lead to a raised living room, with a single sofa bed and a half, illuminated by a large window that opens towards the panorama.
Going down a staircase you come to another 'entrance with glass door to the garden, to the bathroom with shower, and then to the double bedroom.

The garden of the apartment opens onto a terrace with a lawn overlooking the surrounding landscape, dominated by the Montemassi castle. On the back there is a pergola of paved strawberry grapes, equipped with table and benches.

The Peruzzo farm is the centerpiece of the ancient Peruzzo estate which, starting from the plain, extends between vineyards, olive groves, cork and Mediterranean scrub woods between the castles of Montemassi, Roccatederighi and Sassofortino. Located 300 meters above sea level, which appears in front of it with the shape of the island of Giglio, it dominates the plain below, extending for an area of about 500 hectares in a still intact and unspoiled natural environment. In Peruzzo you can spend a quiet holiday, relax in the swimming pool or read in the garden in the shade of pergolas and plants, or go on suggestive naturalistic itineraries, on foot, by bicycle or on horseback.
A part of the old farm is reserved for guests, surrounded by a large park, and a little further upstream, immersed in the shade of the woods, four farmhouses divided into recently renovated apartments. The buildings, built in the nineteenth century in stone and terracotta, maintain the typical characteristics of Tuscan farmhouses and the traditional furnishings of country houses, partly from family furniture. The apartments, which can accommodate from 2 to 8 people, are independent and equipped with every comfort. Each one overlooks a private garden, with ever green, irrigated and shaved lawns, centenary trees and flowering bushes in all seasons. Inside the enclosures live two horses, the Maremma cows, a donkey from the Amiata and deer, fallow deer, mouflons, roe deer and wild boars. In the aviaries there are turtle doves and various species of birds.
The sea is not far away and so are the many places of artistic, archaeological and naturalistic interest in which the Maremma is rich. The most famous tourist destinations, such as Siena, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Volterra, Montalcino, Pienza and even Rome, can be reached within the day.
