Relax in this cosy and characteristic flat, located on the first floor, which can accommodate up to 6 people, of a historic building that housed a convent until the mid-18th century: witness the small bell tower on the roof and the frescoed chapel adjacent to the house. The property was renovated in the 19th century into a manor house and divided into 3 spacious and comfortable flats, each one independent. We are in the small historic centre of Catignano, 4 km from Gambassi Terme, much appreciated for its spa centre located on the Via Francigena. The property offers a sunny and panoramic position over the vineyards to the horizon of the Apuan Alps. The swimming pool has an equipped solarium area for pleasant moments of relaxation. The owners, very kind and helpful people, will welcome you ... in their private wine cellar where you will have the pleasure of tasting their wines. It is ideal for friends or families looking for a quiet place to visit the Chianti region and the famous Tuscan cities.
The flat is accessed by an internal staircase. The entrance opens onto a large open-plan area divided into a living room with sofa, a beautiful 18th-century open fireplace and satellite TV and a beautiful kitchen-diner. From the living room there is access to a lovely covered terrace equipped for pleasant outdoor dining. The flat is tastefully furnished in the Tuscan tradition and offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped with electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, 4 gas rings, toaster, refrigerator with freezer.
