Lovely country house ideal for families with plenty of opportunities for an actice holiday

Casa Carbonaia is situated high in the peaceful hills of Tuscany near the medieval towns and cities filled with lots of history, culture and traditions.

The country house was originally built in the late 1300-century, but has since been renovated in 1998 to 7 comfortable, rustic apartments with modern kitchens and bathrooms. The brand new swimming pool (7 x 14 m) is surrounded by beautiful gardens and offers an excellent view over the green hills with churches and villas. Here is a communal barbecue and pizza oven, which is often used by guests.

This is a place where you can dive into the wild either by walking on unfamiliar trails in oak and chestnut forests, or try a guided tour either on foot or by mountain bike professionals who will give you the opportunity of experiencing the birthplace of the world famous artist Leonardo da Vinci, as you drive past to get to the farm house.

There is a minimarket with a wood owen (fresh bread) a few miles from here, and also the the owner, Giovanni, is always happy to recommend good restaurants, or other valuable local knowledge. Giovannis father, Simone, is mountaineer by profession and knows the area exceptionally well. He is happy to arrange canyoning, rappelling, etc. Or maybe just recommend a good running route.

Most Fridays in high season there is a pizza party in the garden arranged by the owners. 

It is possible to get a fan in the apartment. It is only apartment Garzetta that has air condition but all apartments have mosquito nets in the windows so you can keep them open during night.
