Pian
del Colombaio ( Grosseto ) is a traditional, stone farm building
where the refurbishment has been executed to maintain the original style
but with modern, efficient interiors. Arched, cotta ceilings and wooden
beams have been lovingly restored to keep the character intact.
The
owners, who live on site, obviously have a keen eye for design which is
also displayed in their very pretty garden - a rarity in these rural parts
of Tuscany. Lush green lawns are dressed with flower beds, trees and shrubs.
An 8mt diameter swimming pool has been placed to the far front of the
garden and the entirety is surrounded by amazing vistas reaching to a
back drop of Monte Amiata where there are some very well planned walking
itineraries.
Each
apartment has its own garden furniture for eating al fresco. Montenero
is 3kms distant where there is a supermarket, smaller delicatessen stores
and a post office. Within a half hour drive is the sophisticated resort
of Punta Ala which has fabulous beaches and where everybody who wants
to be seen strolls the promenade in the evenings. The delightful village
of Paganico is a twenty minute drive and has a regular railway connection
with Siena.
Ground
floor entrance into spacious sitting dining room and spacious kitchen
having cooker, oven and fridge/freezer. A double bedded room and a bathroom
also having shower cubicle, WC etc. The pictures on this page are indicative
of the style to be found at this site and are not necessarily of the property
described here.
