Le Vignacce is a beautiful stone country house in the Casentino area, the valley of the Arno river which reaches Florence. This area is covered with woodlands, with monasteries and parish churches where a visit to the Sanctuary of La Verna is a must, rich in works of art and surrounded by a vast wood of enormous trees. Green is the dominant colour of the landscape making this a truly relaxing and stress-free holiday. The property includes traditionally cultivated fields, olive trees and vineyards. The country house is surrounded by a fenced lawn where children can play, a beautiful swimming pool (14x7, 0.80-2.00m deep)(14/05-30/09) with deck chairs, sunbeds and umbrellas, a lovely shady terrace furnished with a table and chairs where you can dine in summer in the fine weather. If you dont feel like cooking, or you want to learn a Tuscan recipe, you can request a chef who will be only too willing to give away some little secret. Whats more? You can also dedicate some of your time on excursions to cities like Arezzo, Cortona or Florence, easily reached even on the ancient road crossing the hilltops. A beautiful golf course is located nearby. The accommodation has central heating and wi-fi Internet connection. You can request a maid, a babysitter, a chef and cookery courses, all to be paid for on location. Car park on the property. PLEASE NOTE: pets are allowed against the payment of 30 euros/pet/week.
