Property Summary
Nestled in the evocative landscape of the Crete Senesi, Alborata is a rustic Tuscan farmhouse built entirely in stone, dating back to the early twentieth century and situated a short distance from the charming town of San Giovanni d'Asso, in Italy. This exceptional vacation rental has been lovingly and carefully restored to preserve the soul of its original peasant architecture, while offering guests a refined and comfortable retreat. The restoration brought to light a magnificent travertine staircase, precious Tuscan terracotta flooring, and characteristic vaulted attics on the ground floor, alongside exposed beams and brickwork on the first floor. The choice of furnishings reflects the sober yet elegant style of Tuscan tradition, creating an atmosphere that is both authentic and welcoming. The property is surrounded by a lush garden of approximately 3,000 square meters, offering ample outdoor space for relaxation and leisure.
