Casa Genziana A

Rigomagno 2 br Vacation Rental Villa

Casa Genziana A is an apartment of 65 square meters (approximately 750 square
feet), which sleeps six persons, with a swimming pool and a garden. It is part
of an ancient, large, Tuscan country house.

There are two bedrooms, one bathroom, a roomy living room from which you will be
able to enter the garden going through a glass door. An area of the garden, next
to the living room, is reserved for your use and is equipped with a large beach
umbrella, table and chairs.

The swimming pool, which is 112 square meters (1200 square feet) and the large
garden are shared with the guests of four other apartments.

The living room of Casa Genziana A is decorated with a large fireplace, around
which you will find armchairs, which provide two sleeping places. The decoration
is very pleasant, and the ceilings are authentic centuries-old brickwork vaults.

In the living room you will find a dining table with chairs and a kitchenette
equipped with a four-burner cooker, oven and refrigerator.

You will reach the two bedrooms and the bathroom along a short corridor. Both
bedrooms have a double bed. The bathroom has a shower.

Casa Genziana A is located on the ground floor of an ancient Tuscan farmhouse,
built in the seventeenth century with thick stone walls. The farmhouse has been
tastefully restored with love, keeping the original architecture intact.

You will reach the villa along a driveway that unwinds in the vegetation of the
hillside. You will be welcomed by a large wrought iron gate, and you will be
able to park your car inside. The first thing you will notice, at a level above
the parking area, is the large stone building, framed by the green of the trees.
Climbing a stone stairway of approximately ten steps you will find yourself in a
large flat area, in the middle of which there is the villa, surrounded by a
large lawn. The nice stone building matches the bright green of the lawn and the
red of the terracotta pots filled with geraniums, which decorate the terraces
and the windows, magnificently. Among the grass, here and there, you will see
large terracotta jars filled with flowers. And it is among the green of the
grass that the inviting blue of the swimming pool opens.

Everything is beautiful, well-kept and well ordered: you will fall in love with
this place at first glance and will be happy you chose it for your vacation.

Sun lounges are available all around the swimming pool. On one side of the pool
there is a large covered wood patio, which is furnished with table and chairs, a
perfect place to relax "al fresco". Not far away you will find a stone barbecue,
as well as a well-equipped wood-burning oven, which you can use to experiment
making pizza or your own bread.

Beyond the lawn there is the side of the hill, along which you will find marked
trails that invite you to stroll in the woods.

The air is clear and bright, perfumed by the smell of the wood. Your eyes will
rest on an uninterrupted horizon of vegetation.

From every point of the premises you will only see the blue of the sky and the
green of the surrounding hills, and no other building. As a matter of fact, the
villa is inside a protected natural park of 7 hectares (17 acres).

The villa is divided into five apartments, all of them equipped with central
heating and satellite television.

The interiors are full of charm and of testimonies of the ancient way of life of
the locals: in each living room, in all of the apartments, there is a large
stone fireplace. The ceilings are made with beams made of wood and terracotta
tiles, or, at the bottom levels, they are splendid ancient brickwork vaults
carefully restored.

The furniture is made of natural wood and wrought iron, according to the typical
style of the Tuscan country side, and it is elegant and welcoming.

The villa is equipped with telephone and with Internet connection.

A token washing machine and dryer are available in a shared laundry room, along
with an iron and ironing board.

For each guest a swimming pool towel is provided, along with bed linens and
towels. Every day a gardener is on the premises to look after the garden, and it
is possible to request maid services. Breakfast in the garden is available upon
request.

Small-sized pets are welcome.

Mountain bikes are available at the villa for you to rent, and a horse center is
nearby.

To stay at the villa you will need a car, as there is no bus stop within walking
distance.

Upon your arrival you will be met by the landlady, who will be gently and
discreetly at your disposal during your stay for any kind of information or
request.
