Family cottage Tuscany

After our cappuccino on the terrace of restaurant Le Murate it is only a 5 minute walk to the family cottage of Graziano. Great to have a local restaurant and mini-market within walking distance! We are in the so called ‘Metallifere hills’ today. This hilly part of Tuscany probably does not ring a bell right away, but that is part of her charms. The position, panorama and large garden with private pool of the holiday cottage ensures a perfect balance. We visit Graziano in spring rime. In this time a year we are treated to a colourful panorama full of flowers. ‘In the summer the view over the sunflower fields is amazing as well’, Graziano tells us. ‘And then there’s autumn when the vineyards basically turn gold.

Inside we find a cosy Tuscan atmosphere, with wooden beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. This traditional, rustic style in combination with modern conveniences such as dishwasher and Wi-Fi ensure the perfect mixture. Another cleverly detail is that all rooms are on the ground floor with opening doors to the garden. The space outside to run and play also makes the holiday home of Graziani one of the best pet friendly cottages to be found in Tuscany.
