Casa Giuseppe

43.0000° N, 11.8600° E · Tuscany, Italy

Casa Giuseppe is a 300 m2 house sitting in an opening in a wooded grove and surrounded by old oak trees which blend sun and shade on the lawn in front of the house. Beyond are open fields and views across the valley to the Radicofani fortress on the far-away blue hills. Swimming pool. Capacity : For 10 people (or 14, with the guest house). On the ground floor what used to be the cows' barn has been converted into a large summer room leading out to the garden. Seven windows flood the room with light, the mangers have been turned into benches with cushions. An open fireplace, comfortable sofas and armchairs make this room pleasantly informal and comfortable. A double room with an en-suite bathroom opens out onto the garden and has been adapted for wheel chair use. A spiral Renaissance-style travertine staircase leads to the upper floor.
