A Little Piece of History

A Little Piece of History: Tuscany

Once an old watermill, this apartment sits within an estate of cottages, just a stone's throw from Siena. Prepare meals in the kitchen, or head to the communal terrace to grill dishes on the barbecue. The designs are somewhat dated, and at full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the mezzanine, but with a shared pool, garden and multiple spots to enjoy the beauty of this rural setting, you’ll likely spend most of your time outside. Your host can guide you to the area's hidden gems, from picturesque freshwater swimming spots to the Royal Golf La Bagnaia course. With the charming town of Sovicille nearby and easy access to Florence, every day holds a new adventure.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
*This apartment is part of a collection of seven cottages – you'll share the gardens, laundry room, pool and terrace with the other guests. There is an old mill in a separate building next to the apartment, where small events sometimes take place, too.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*The double beds can be reconfigured into singles upon request.
*The pool is for seasonal use from Easter to mid-October. It’s unfenced, so if you’re bringing little ones, they’ll need to be supervised at all times. Your host can also provide a cot and high chair upon request.
