Rent a house in tuscany for 3 or more months.

 

The Podere

The property is set in the beautiful tuscan countryside between the medieval capitals; Siena, Arezzo and Perugia. It stands on an outcrop of travertine rock, and looks over a wooded valley to the castle of San Gimignanello.
Originally erected as a monastery in 1354, the structure was built around a central courtyard and is surrounded by spacious gardens, woods and an olive grove. There is a lake 3 minutes walk through the woods, and an ancient cave which travels under the courtyard and hill, exiting in the local village (blocked).
The courtyard has a floor of travertine bedrock. It is decorated with wisteria, jasmine, a clump of bamboos and a fig tree.
The gardens provide open spaces for sunbathing, surrounded by trees and flowerbeds. There is an arbour with a view across the valley, perfect for reading a book or having a bbq.
The garden is equipped with deck chairs for sunbathing, bbq’s, and tables and chairs.
