Description
Set in the magnificent framework of a historical, 16th century, Tuscan stone house, our delightful apartment offers you a romantic, relaxing stay. The antique charm of this old, but carefully restored, house has been brought to new light through the respect and sensitivity of those who love the history of places, people and things. The materials used for its restoration were chosen carefully and the ancient stones, bricks and the old wooden beams, have almost all been reutilised. The task was long and arduous, but the result is a magical place, rich in atmosphere, from the far reaches of Tuscan history.
The house lies in the typical mediaeval village of Pietraviva, or “living stone”, in the heart of Valdambra. This area is an ideal place for those who wish to discover an unspoilt corner of Tuscany, unchanged by tourism and authentic. In this valley you will experience the daily life of common people, their good-natured sense of humour and their warm hospitality. The Valdambra enjoys an extremely fortunate geographical position, in the heart of the most beautiful areas in Tuscany, yet still genuinely animated by a truly rural way of life. The main activities are still bound up with agriculture: with the production of wine, extra virgin olive oil and tobacco.
