From the owner

With a beautiful location set below the small, medieval hill village of Sorana, this is a traditional stone farmhouse retaining all the usual beautiful Tuscan features of cotto floors, chestnut beams and an open fireplace.

Outside there are private olive groves for the children to play in, a terrace for al fresco dining, BBQ for outdoor cooks and a pool for cooling off in the glorious summer days - all with spectacular views of the Pescia valley. Two of the best restaurants in the area are just down the road or there is further fine dining in and around the local town of Pescia, less than 15 minutes drive away

Open all year around, this house offers a quiet retreat from which to explore the surrounding hills on foot to local villages such as Vellano, Castelveccio, Fibialla or Medicina.

Further details

There is a 300m walk from a car park through the village and down a path to get to the door, which is a little steep in places. Whilst this makes for a quiet and private location it means access would be difficult for elderly, infirm or disabled guests

Further details indoors

The accommodation is on two floors with the kitchen, shower room and one lounge/bedroom downstairs and the master bedroom and second lounge/bedroom upstairs

The main bedroom has a king size bed with chest of drawers. wardrobe and air conditioning unit whilst the upstairs second room has a large stone grate with cast iron fire, large sofabed and cabin bed. Downstairs, the lounge has a sofabed and is also equipped with an air conditioning unit.

The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils and pans, with a 5 ring gas bottle-powered cooker complete with oven. There is also an under-house storage room which contains the garden furniture and washing machine

Further details outdoors

The house is part of a working olive farm so the groves are open and available for exploration, although care should be taken down some of the steep slopes. There is also a hand-built stone barbecue and outside dining area, ideal for summer evening cooking and eating outside. The pool is a 15ft by 8ft plunge pool, perfect for cooling off during the long hot Tuscan summer days.
