This beautifully restored farmhouse is a part of the magnificent La Foce estate in southern Tuscany. It is pleasantly shaded by lush oak, almond and plum trees and has its own large private swimming pool. The ground floor, which was originally the stable, has seven large windows that flood the spacious living room with light. On three sides of the room are comfy benches with cushions and the rest of the space remains open with comfortable sofas for relaxing around the big fireplace. There is one bedroom with en suite bathroom on this floor. The first floor connects with the ground floor by an outside staircase, typical of Tuscan farmhouses. An upstairs living room looks out over the tree tops and light pours in from the skylight. The adjoining kitchen/dining room has a waist high travertine covered fireplace, which makes grilling a breeze. Two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are followed by two more bedrooms, which share a bathroom. A smaller building next to the main house, called a dépendance, has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, another large living room, an open kitchen and large exposed beams running the length of the house. The magnificent garden of honeysuckle, lavender, sage, rosemary and hydrangea was designed by the famous English garden designer Peter Curzon. In its midst is a wisteria covered pergola with a large table for outside dining. Summer in this part of southern Tuscany is filled with music festivals and Pienza, Montepulciano and Montalcino are close by.
