This Tuscan eco-retreat offers a blend of medieval charm and contemporary sustainability. The communal pool that serves the four apartments is an eco-sustainable lake – it's surrounded by plants that naturally purify the water. Renewable energy is used throughout, and 80% of the ingredients in the optional breakfast are organic. There are modern conveniences, too, from electric vehicle charging to a courtesy iPad to help you discover local activities and eateries. A furry friend is welcome to join you, and the rolling Tuscan countryside is right on your doorstep.

Home truths
Although you'll have your own private outdoor area, the swimming pool and lobby are communal.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay. EV chargers are available to use for all models of cars during your stay.
Your host can provide a cot for free if you're travelling with little ones.
One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor, and the double bed on the mezzanine is made up of two singles pushed together. This bedroom doesn't offer much privacy, and storage space is tight in both bedrooms.
The natural pool here is a small eco-sustainable lake. It is open from the beginning of May until the end of September.
