LOCATION
This property for sale in the Chianti enjoys a peaceful location in the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by historic castles and prestigious wine estates. The photos illustrate that the property enjoys a truly Tuscan view, overlooking olive-groves and rolling hills, however they unfortunately do not do justice to the beauty of the panorama which really must be seen in person. Although set amongst olive-groves, vineyards and forests, the house is only a short drive to a number of scenic small towns and villages. Barberino Val d’Elsa, Certaldo, Colle Val d’Elsa and San Gimignano are all within a short distance rendering them viable options for an evening out. The town of Poggibonsi (10mins) offers a train station and large supermarkets.
