Casa San Martino

First floor apartment on the farm where also the owners live. A few km from Castiglion Fiorentino, in southern Tuscany. Large garden, swimming pool and view on the ancient Castle of Montecchio. Also available for stays of 3 nights.

Description

Casa San Martino is an old farmhouse situated a short distance from Castiglion Fiorentino, a lively town with shops and services of all kinds, and where throughout the year you can attend folkloristic, historical and artistic events. Castiglion Fiorentino will be the destination for your evenings in some typical restaurant, for a glass of wine or just for a walk in the cool of the summer nights in the ancient stone alleys.

The apartment, comfortable and well furnished, is situated on the first floor of the farmhouse and has a cosy private staircase leading down to the garden from the pool side. The owners live on the ground floor and with their discreet presence will be a sure reference point for any information or need.
All around the farmhouse is the certified organic farm where they produce seasonal vegetables and excellent wine and extra virgin olive oil that you can taste and buy on site. It will be a pleasure, if you wish, to have fresh organic vegetables for your dinners to accompany the famous Chianina meat which can be easily purchased in the butchers' shops and supermarkets of the village.

In the large garden you will find a wooden gazebo furnished with table and chairs for outdoor dining, barbecue, children's playground, five-a-side football pitch and a large swimming pool (size 6 x 12 m, depth 1.20 - 2.20 m - open from 01st May to 30th September ) which is occasionally used by the owners.

The view from the garden is something you will remember. From here you can admire the beautiful Montecchio Castle, which is still inhabited in parts, and still has its walls and high tower intact and is situated on the hill overlooking the farmhouse. Every time you look at the castle it will be like being catapulted, for a moment, into another era.
On request, the owner can prepare typical Tuscan breakfasts and dinners.
