Tuscan vacation villa for rent between Rome and Florence
AN ITALIAN VACATION VILLA FOR RENT, ROUGHLY HALF WAY BETWEEN FLORENCE AND ROME
Just
fifty miles south of Siena stands Villa
Le Terme,
an ancient and beautiful stone farmhouse dating from the 15th century, located
in one
of Tuscany's
most
charming areas. It stands in the vicinity of the mediaeval village of San Casciano
dei Bagni - a famous spa resort that draws visitors from all over the world,
and at the centre of a wine- and olive oil-producing estate.
The name Le Terme (the
word Terme means 'spa') derives from the warm, natural water that gushes out
from a spring on the property. An attractive swimming-pool and changing rooms
have been built to exploit the thermal water which maintains a constant temperature
of 28 Centigrade - come rain or shine.
The spring brought monks to settle
and meditate here more than a thousand years ago and so the origins of the
house
go back many centuries. The villa has recently undergone extensive renovations
and has all mod-cons, though its typical Tuscan style has been carefully preserved.
Set in a beautiful, two-acre within a larger farm estate, Le Terme is
an ideal sanctuary for those in search of peace and relaxation.
The house and
its gardens enjoy truly magnificent views of the Tuscan countryside stretching
as far as Montepulciano and Pienza.
