Description of the Holiday Apartment in Chianti, Florence
Holiday Apartment in Chianti, Florence: Holiday Apartment in Pontassieve is in a villa which divided into three very separate apartments complete with their own patio, private garden and swimming pool. They provide a great way to experience the relaxed Tuscan country while being close enough to Florence to pop in and explore the city. A wrought iron and glass door reminiscent of the castle gate opens to an entrance room with a cloak room to one side. Round the corner a large modern kitchen and cosy original brick fire make cooking a pleasure. The dining area stradles the space between the kitchen and the lounge room, taking advantage of the warmth of the fire and the views from the lounge windows. The books lining the lounge shelves are perfect for winter evenings curled up infront of the fire or for summer days lazing on the patio. The extra room can be used as fitness room (we can arrange an exercise bike). There are many tracks leading from the villa to the lake or the local village through olive groves and grape vines for running or walking. The 3 bedrooms are on separate levels upstairs so maximum privacy is achieved. The bedrooms are simply decorated in a country theme, with a focus on comfort. The owners once lived in this part of the villa so the bathrooms and kitchen contain all the modern appliances. Central heating and a fire in the dining area makes this villa perfect winter retreat. Windows along three sides of the villa offer views over the grape vines.
