Holiday home with a view, walk to restaurants and shops, car is not required | Cottage in San Casciano in Val di Pesa
2 Bedroom Cottage in San Casciano in Val di Pesa
"Il Visciolo" was a typical Tuscan barn. We converted it to a modern home in 2006 respecting the rural tradition of the Florentine province, preserving the exterior aspect and recycling the original materials whenever possible.
At a glance: single-family home; private terrace with a view on Tuscan countryside; garden; two car parking space inside the property; walk to supermarket, shops and restaurants; bus to Florence takes 30 minutes; free Wi-Fi (fast Internet 30 Mbps).
# EVERYTHING AT WALKING DISTANCE
Our converted barn is located few steps away from the centre of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, a village set in the Chianti area of Tuscany. The village of San Casciano in Val di Pesa has got many shops, bars, some good restaurants and pizzerias. All of them can be reached on foot, as our holiday home is at just 350 metres from the village centre. A big COOP supermarket is 7 minutes walk from the house.
# EXPLORING TUSCANY
Florence centre can be reached in 30 minutes by public coach service, departures are at 650 metres from the property. Our holiday house is much appreciated by those who want to visit Florence without a car or to explore Tuscany. A dual carriageway leading to Florence and Siena is 3.5Km away. For guests with one or two cars, we have a private parking inside the property.

# A RELAXING TUSCAN EXPERIENCE
Unlike other places in the province of Florence, San Casciano is not a small town crowded with tourists. You will find a lively and typical environment of the Tuscan countryside. Although the village suffered great devastation during the Second World War, some historical parts of medieval origin were saved.
