Spacious cottage on top of Tuscan Apennines offering a blissfully peaceful and unforgettable stay for families of up to 6. Come enjoy our fabulous pool-with-a-view or explore Central Italy's treasures like Firenze, Ravenna or Bologna! Located at 700m above sea level. the place is cool and ventilated even in the hottest months Al Volo del Nibbio offers groups of friends or families from 4 to 12 guests (+ 2 children/teenagers) the possibility to spend a great holiday in an ancient villa on top of the Apennines between Tuscany and Romagna, near the town of Marradi. At Al Volo del Nibbio you’ll be able to decide whether to spend your day lounging by our fabulous pool-with-a-view, explore the woods nearby (on foot, horseback or by mountain bike) or visit one of the many art centres of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The property comprises a spacious stone farmhouse and a Casetta (detached Cottage), which enjoys great privacy and brilliant views of the surrounding vineyard and valleys. Both buildings were restored about 10 years ago by my parents, professional architects, with great care for the interiors and original local materials. NB: The property’s peaceful and secluded atmosphere is ensured by approx. 4 km of unpaved road that from the tiny town of Popolano, near Marradi, lead to Al Volo del Nibbio. We therefore strongly recommend you avoid driving up to the property with cars with low floors or sports cars as the drive up can otherwise get bumpy. The Casetta, only about 50 meters away from the pool, offers its guests a fabulous and secluded location. It comprises a spacious and bright sitting room, a double bedroom, two twin rooms (one above the other, divided by mezzanine, ideal for kids) and two nicely decorated bathrooms, together with a fully equipped kitchen with direct access to the patio overlooking the vineyard. Our private swimming pool, with wonderful views on the surrounding woods, enjoys the rays of sunshine from morning to sunset and is strategically placed to provide our guests with that particular peacefulness that characterises every stay at Al Volo del Nibbio. NB: the swimming pool is not heated and is usually open only during the summer months (June-September). A heating surcharge will be applied in the colder months (October to May) based on the guests' effective consumption (according to the gas meter), to be calculated and paid for at check-out.
