Casa Tosca enjoyes unique views of the hills with vines and olive trees. Montaione is a pretty old centre full of charm, located walking distance (500 meters uphill steep and narrow road) with restaurants and shops. A CAR IS ESSENTIAL due to lack of public transports. Inside, the pattern is traditional of a Tuscan country home with wood beamed ceilings and delightful views. This location is perfect to visit San Gimignano, Volterra, San Miniato, Pisa, Lucca, Florence. Casa Tosca is a comfortable villa with private pool for up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms located 500 meters/0.3 miles walk to the centre of town with shops and at least three good restaurants. This home offers airy, clutter free rooms furnished with style and comfort. All the bedroom windows are screened, air conditioned along with the kitchen. The cooks in the group will enjoy a fully equipped kitchen and the large wooden dining table in the verandah. The kind and accommodating family who owns Villa Casa Tosca will happily greet you on arrival and provide you with all the information you require to fully enjoy your stay. Their assistant, Serena has prepared a detailed villa book to source for genuine advice on what to do and see in the area. From your exclusive large pool (7m x 14m; Depth: 1.4m - open: May - October) and outdoor dining gazebo with barbecue you will enjoy far reaching views across the valley dotted with olive trees and vineyards. The villa is part of a very small hamlet called Cavasonno, that literally means leading to sleep: indeed an open invitation to relax! Whenever you will draw away from your peace of heaven, there are several options to keep you active: mountain bike tours, wine tastings and walking in the countryside. San Gimignano’s towers are 15 minutes away or Volterra with its alabaster workshops and Roman amphitheater to be leisurely reached on scenic routes. Lesser known and equally worth visiting towns are a breeze from this location with Certaldo or San Miniato just to name a couple..
