Home description
Casa Vacanze Scopeto is a lovely hamlet at the slopes of the "Montagnola Senese", a hilly territory covered with chestnut and oak trees. Marbles of rare beauty were extracted here as from medieval times and were used to embellish some of the most important Italian monuments. Churches and medieval castles are spread around in the surrounding hills. A particular mention goes to the Abbey of San Galgano, an astonishing roofless church where one can visit the world-known sword in the rock.
The hamlet has been entirely renovated and transformed into a cosy, well-kept country residence in the green hills of Tuscany, full of woods. The restoration of the structure was carried out with great care and particular attention was given to every last detail. The complex is made up of the main body of the building , a small out buidling 20 m away and an independent house, located approx. 80 m down from the complex.
For the lovers of good cooking and excellent wines, the surroundings offer many restaurants where you can taste simple and ancient Tuscan recipes cooked with genuine and tasty ingredients, or enotecas where you can taste the best Tuscan wines such as Chianti, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, or Brunello di Montalcino.
