Guado al Sole is a typical Tuscan stone farmhouse lying in the hills of the Val di Cecina, an area between Volterra and the sea of the Etruscan Coast. The property is located within the territory of Sant'Ippolito, a naturalistic and scenic area of high prestige with its 500 hectares of woodland, bordering the state-owned oasis of Monterufoli, located in the centre of the Metalliferous Hills where woods, areas of natural vegetation and biodiversity are crossed by a dense network of streams such as the Sterza and the Trossa. In the surrounding area are numerous geysers and fumaroles, conferring on the area an exotic aspect. Guado al Sole has always been devoted to hospitality, ever since the old family to which it belonged welcomed friends and guests for hunting parties, with dinner in front of the fireplace. Today the property has the same charm as the typical Tuscan farmhouse but has been expertly restored to enhance the original elements such as the stone arches and finishes of the windows and the wooden ceiling beams, with the addition of modern comforts. The property consists of a main house divided into separate, but adjoining, units and an adjacent annex. Guado al Sole has large common areas, both indoors and outdoors, and is therefore particularly suitable for groups of friends or large families wishing to relax with friends but also to enjoy total independence. The internal common areas, in the main house, such as the large, welcoming living room or the professional kitchen, offer guests moments of conviviality. The large, fully-equipped outdoor areas and the swimming pool, set in the large park, are the perfect place for you to admire the beautiful hilly countryside that surrounds the property.
