The second 25m² loggia was recently fully glazed, so it can also be used during the colder months of the year.

The big pool (5 x 12 m) with Roman steps is 30m from the main entrance to the house. It has a shower also suitable for the disabled. Recently guests will also find a beautiful whirlpool. The sunny terrace around the pool offers a gazebo, sofas, a games table, sun loungers, deckchairs, chairs and parasols.

The site includes a park with centuries-old oak, chestnut, stone oak, acacia and pine trees, surrounding guests with colours, fragrances and fruits at any time of year and where you can feel like a true part of nature. If you cross the park, where you may encounter wild rabbits, squirrels, owls and buzzards, you arrive at the villa, which owing to its location offers a view of landscapes that appear as paintings: the pilgrimage destination della Verna in the east, the medieval castle of Poppi in the west.
