This late 19th-century farmhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms is built of alberese stone. It is situated near the Mediterranean coast, in the Tuscan countryside two and a half miles from the village of Guardistallo. The French doors leading into the living room can be secured with tall shutters; the kitchen also has French doors leading outside. An arched stone doorway connects the living and dining rooms, and the floors throughout the house are of terra cotta tile.
The kitchen has a typical Tuscan sloped timber ceiling, and arched windows overlook cypress trees and rolling hills. There is one full bath off the living room; the other, upstairs, has decorative tile. All three bedrooms are upstairs. The ground floor has a completely separate two-bedroom apartment that could be reintegrated. Currently, the house is used as a vacation rental.
The property is about 900 square meters (almost a quarter-acre) in size, more than 500 meters (a third of a mile) from the nearest house. In the garden, a pergola on high ground offers al fresco dining. There is a wooden deck beside the swimming pool, and the grounds are planted with herbs and olive trees. Grain fields around the house turn green in the spring and gold in the summer. The nearest beach, Cecina, is on the Mediterranean coast about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) away. It takes about an hour and a half to drive to Guardistallo from Florence, and an hour from the airport in Pisa. Guardistallo and nearby Montescudaio both have train stations.
