Property Information |
|
Logistically perfect, Santa Lucia in Chianti lies halfway between Siena and
Florence and in walking distance of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa. Newly
restored, this estate consists of a farmhouse divided into these four
apartments and a separate villa, 30 yards away, housing the two units on
the prior page along with a reception office, open daily from 9 am to
10:30 am, except on Sunday.
While the pool is shared by all residents, each party has their own
furnished covered patio and garden area delineated by seamless
landscaping.
Each unit is tastefully decorated in a pastel color with country style
furnishings of the highest quality. Original terracotta floors and beamed
ceilings add to the charm. Each apartment offers an equal ratio of beds to
baths as well as air conditioning, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a
toaster and a US-style coffee maker. Mirtillo, Amarena and Pistacchio
each have one bedroom on their upper floor leading to a furnished
terrace enclosed by latticed brickwork. In Mirtillo and Pistacchio, these
same bedrooms have a separate French balcony. All of the units except
Crema have heated towel racks.
Included in the price is a morning visit to the owner’s olive oil facility
followed by a tasting. November guests get to see olives being harvested
and pressed for oil. For an additional cost, maid service, meals and tours
of local wineries may be arranged.
Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, half a mile away, offers a couple of pizzerias, three
good restaurants and some shops. A museum of sacred art opens on
weekends. The outdoor market is on Thursday. A bus with regular service
to Florence stops 100 yards from the estate.
By car, the Firenze-Siena highway is 10 minutes away; Barberino Val
d’Elsa: 15; Castellina, San Gimignano or Monteriggioni: 30; Siena or
Florence: 45; Lucca or Arezzo: 60; Montalcino or Pisa: 90.
