Located in the Tuscan hills near Montelupo Fiorentino and Florence, just 5km from Montelupo Fiorentino (where you’ll find shops and other amenities that you might need), 8km from the town of Empoli, 21km from Da Vinci’s hometown of Vinci and within easy day-trip distance of San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, the Tuscan Coast, and Siena, you will find that a stay at Cottage Colle Di Sotto will leave you able to well and truly make the most of your time on holiday in Tuscany.
Cottage Colle Di Sotto sleeps up four guests in two bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living space allows up to two more guests to stay, if required. The old hayloft building has been carefully and thoughtfully converted into a charming little cottage with interiors that have been completed with a delicate touch, giving the house an endlessly welcoming and pretty appearance. Tuscan country elements can be found all throughout the house from the exposed beam ceiling to the visible use of brick and the exposed stone areas of wall, the use of bright colours on the walls, the interesting works of art sprinkled here and there, the wooden window shutters, the ample use of lamps for soft lighting, the antique furnishings, the built-in old stove in the kitchen and big old fireplace in the living room, the sink curtain in the kitchen, and more. The charms of traditional Tuscan country design are well and truly embraced.
Split over two floors, these sweet interiors include a kitchen with an oven and stove, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and espresso coffee maker as well as a spacious country-style dining table and access to the two double bedrooms (both with air-conditioning for your comfort), and two bathrooms. Upstairs, in the loft space, the house is rounded out with the living room with a ceiling fan and the double sofa bed.
Outside, however, is where you will get to most enjoy those views and appreciate the incomparable uniqueness of this villa in Tuscany. There is a large garden to the rear of the house, taking in those sweeping scenes, with a gorgeous pool area that is surrounded by sun loungers and that boasts a whirlpool portion so that you can sun yourself, unwind in the swirling waters, splash around, lie out with a good book, or all of the above. A veranda with a dining area and barbecue also means that you can make the most of the scenery while dining al fresco or sit out with a glass of wine as you watch the sun set over those famous rolling green hills. Parking is also available on the property grounds.
Available from just €244 per night, Cottage Colle Di Sotto is quite the bargain for the opportunity to live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world for a little while. So, if you have been dreaming of a holiday in Tuscany, check this gem out today.
