Our country house is the ideal place to spend a quiet holiday not far from the sea. Ideal for small family groups who love nature and comfort, a dream for children. The location is optimal. In a few minutes by car you can reach the small town of Cecina, where you can buy everything you need: shops, supermarkets, restaurants of all kinds and the characteristic weekly market that every Tuesday morning winds its way through the streets of the centre: it is one of the largest markets in Tuscany, its stalls offer everything from shoes to clothes, from fruit to vegetables. The main tourist centres of Tuscany are easily reached from here. Pisa with its important airport (the most important in Tuscany) is only 30 minutes away by car. Volterra and San Gimignano can be reached in 30 minutes, and Florence and Siena in about an hour. During the summer, from May to November, the beach can be reached in 5 minutes by car. Approx. 300 m² on 2 levels. On the ground floor: the large Tuscan-style kitchen with its original fireplace. At your disposal: a beautiful La Cornue cooking block (La Cornue is one of the best manufacturers in the world) with 5 gas burners and 2 ovens, dishwasher and a large sideboard in the middle of the room where you can prepare your meals. A door connects the kitchen with the dining area in the living room. The kitchen leads to a large gazebo with tables and benches and a second outdoor kitchen and barbecue where you can cook outdoors during the summer months. The large living room (approx. 100 m²) furnished in rustic style has an area perfect for relaxing on an armchair or on a sofa in front of the authentic Tuscan fireplace (one of the sofas is a double sofa bed). This part is separated from the dining area, where there is a beautiful wooden table, by a brick arch. Behind another arch is the TV room (satellite TV) with comfortable upholstered armchairs. From the TV room and the dining area there is access to the covered terrace (approx. 30 m²): another lovely spot to relax. On the ground floor there is also a bathroom with washbasin, WC and washing machine. The sleeping area on the upper floor, consisting of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, is accessible via an old stone staircase. The first bedroom has a double bed and a private bathroom with a large shower, washbasin, WC and bidet. In this room there is a loft with two beds. The second bedroom also has a double bed and a full bathroom with shower, sink, toilet and bidet. The third room has two single beds that can be joined. There are two single beds in the lovely loft (this room is especially suitable for children). The fourth room has a double bed. The occupants of the third and fourth rooms can share the third bathroom, which is located in the corridor leading to their rooms. It also has a shower, washbasin, toilet and bidet. The adjoining holiday flat, approximately 50 m² in size and suitable for 4 persons, has a separate entrance (on the other side of the house) and is located on the ground floor. It consists of a living/dining area with a double sofa bed and an equipped kitchenette (4 gas rings, cooker and dishwasher). From the living room, a large French door leads to the garden and swimming pool. Sleeping area: Bedroom with double bed and direct access to the garden. Complete bathroom with shower, washbasin, WC and bidet. Tuscan terracotta floor, ceiling with wooden beams. Independent underfloor heating. Washing machine, satellite TV. Throughout the house there are Tuscan terracotta floors and ceilings with wooden beams. The farmhouse has underfloor heating. The large park surrounding the house extends over 12 hectares, from the large green area around the house to the vineyards surrounding the property. The swimming pool (20 x 18 m, open from March to the end of November) is our pride and joy. By designing it down to the smallest detail, we tried to integrate it into the landscape. This was done really well: the first part of the pool, with shallow water, gives the impression of a sandy beach, then the water slowly becomes deeper, allowing you to swim in the 'sea' towards the horizon. The 10-person whirlpool is part of the pool; thanks to its shallow water, both children and adults can enjoy themselves. Near the pool there is also a furnished gazebo where one can enjoy the tranquillity of the place. Tropical parasols and deck chairs create the perfect ambience. You can buy our own wine and oil directly on the farm. During your stay at the villa we can organise dinners with Tuscan cuisine, birthday parties, cooking classes for adults and children, pizza parties with our chefieren. The position of the villa is strategicIn a few minutes by car you can reach the village with all the basic services and in a few minutes you can reach the beach Basic information - Pets allowed: 10 - Total number of floors in the building above the ground floor: 1 - size of property: 120000 m² - year of construction: 1800 - Year of the last complete renovation : 2017 - detached house - not observable from the street - Number of bedrooms: 5 - Number of bathrooms: 5 Top features - WiFi - underfloor heating: Everywhere - garden: For sole use - dog-proof by a fence (completely fenced in) - outdoor pool - ㄴ for sole use - ㄴ maximum depth: 140 cm - ㄴ length: 1800 cm - ㄴ width: 2000 cm - infinity edge pool - Total of private car parking spaces: 4 - ㄴ of which private outdoor parking spaces: 4 Sleeping bedroom 11 - double bed (1.80 m width) bedroom 14 - double bed (from 1.31 m to 1.50 m width) - 2x single bed bedroom 2 - double bed (1.80 m width) - double bed (from 1.31 m to 1.50 m width) bedroom 5 - double bed (1.80 m width) bedroom 8 - double bed (1.80 m width) in the living area - 2x double sofa bed for 2 people Bathroom bathroom 11 - shower - basin - toilet - bidet - daylight bathroom 14 - basin - toilet bathroom 2 - shower - basin - toilet - bidet - hair dryer - daylight bathroom 5 - shower - basin - toilet - bidet - daylight bathroom 8 - shower - basin - toilet - bidet - daylight Cooking/Living - coffee machine: espresso coffee pot, filter coffee machine, capsule coffee machine - fridge/freezer: deep freezer, fridge - stove: gas hob - oven - toaster - microwave - electric kettle - dishwasher - size of kitchen: 30 m² - number of dining tables: 2 - number of seats: 18 - number of living rooms: 2 - fireplace Entertainment - TV: satellite TV Utility - washing machine: For sole use in the object - iron Outside area - veranda - grill/barbecue: Charcoal grill - outside shower Surroundings - view: garden, forrest, lawn, valley - Nearest town centre: 3,0 km - beach: 5,0 km - sandy beach: 5,0 km - sea: 5,0 km - water sports: 5,0 km Distinctive features - Heritage-protected - country estate - vineyard - farmhouse - historical building
