Located in the medieval hamlet of Montefienali, this two
floored property sits amidst other finely restored homes and shares
amazing views of the surrounding Tuscan hillside. Winding roads lead
through lush green woods and onto a suggestive path that reveals the
medieval hamlet. The serene and peaceful setting reminds us of times
past whilst we walk down the stone path and into the heart of the
hamlet. Casetta Montefienali is located on the upper part of the hamlet
and sits on two floors. The main entrance is next to the covered
terrace and opens into the main sitting room and kitchen area complete
with fireplace. Upstairs one will find two bedrooms and a bathroom.
This 70 sqm holiday home is the perfect size for a small family and has
been working quite well with rentals as well.
Two swimming pools, a large pool and a smaller one for children, are

and of the surrounding hills. There are plenty of areas to sit and
enjoy the setting as well as the quaint little chapel at the far end of
the hamlet. A reception hall complete with telephone, fax and computer
is available for guests and owners.
A separate parking area has also been created for guests. The hotel
Albizzi is located in Montefienali and is of historical importance
