La Vecchia Scuola - newly renovated 3 bedroom house in medieval village
Vecchia Scuola has been restored and modernised to a very high standard. The modern dining kitchen is very well equipped and has a dishwasher. Both the bathrooms have power showers and one is fully accessible.
The main house has two bright double bedrooms and the separate sun house has the en-suite twin bedroom with sitting room area and glass patio doors with privacy blinds.
The restored school house is a place to enjoy a family holiday in a traditional Tuscan village.
The outdoor area has been restored to a high quality using the same stone from the mountain that it sits on. On the good sized patio there is a good out of ground pool, newly built gazebo and quality outdoor furniture as well as a good BBQ. The views from this house are fabulous.
