Life in Sepia Casole d’Elsa, Tuscany

Property Description

Surrounded by acres of lush gardens, walls cloaked in traditional, touches of mahogany – this charming home is perfect for a Tuscan getaway. Not to mention the glittering pool in the garden, the ideal spot to lounge all day while listening to the chirps of birds in the trees. When you want to take a break from the baking sun, step inside and you'll instantly be cooled down by the terracotta tiled floors and high, wood-beamed ceilings. Evenings spent around the outdoor table are pretty special, too. Relax with an aperitif under the pergola while the barbecue works on dinner, playing a card game or two.

You'll love waking up to the fresh, crisp air of the Tuscan countryside with trees that seem to span for miles. When you want to get out and explore, nature lovers will enjoy the plenty of hikes and cycle routes around the area. And you're less than a twenty-minute drive away from Parco Fluviale Alta Val D'Elsa, a spectacular river park of waterfalls, streams, and lakes – it's a unique, magical place. You can hike, swim, or just enjoy the surroundings. And from there, it's just another five minutes to the town of Colle di Val d’Elsa where you can find shops, restaurants, and bars. There's so much to do and see, but you'll always love coming home to your Tuscan oasis. Enjoy a sundowner in the cosy seating area by the pool, before heading to bed for a good sleep.
