Take a break in the countryside in this charming historic renovated farmhouse dating from the 1700's with sea views, yet a real country feel. There are only six apartments here so you won't feel like you are in a tourist centre.
Because the house is located on a hill, you can enjoy great sea views overlooking the bay of Follonica and Elba in the distance. You will find the lovely pool of 7 x 14 m. 1.37 m deep in the large garden, and several tables with matching chairs and umbrellas and a communal barbecue.
There are many places for interesting day trips in the area, you could try Follonica just 2 km away, Massa Marittima 15 km and Siena 70 km.

The only downside to the place is that the Via Aurelia passes just 150 metres from the house. As a result you are able to hear a bit of traffic noise when you stay outside here. Although you cannot see the road due to the trees and the hills.

Location was excellent, perfect for exploring the surrounding areas of Tuscany, the facilities exactly as described. Very calm and quiet, except for traffic noise from highway below and behind (not bothersome to us). Pool was wonderful for kids, parking very narrow in the designated parking areas, great risk of getting a dent in your car door from other vehicles opening their doors.
There was very little in the apartment as far as necessities, no napkins, no salt/ pepper, no paper towels, a half roll of toilet paper, so we had to buy these items. Hadn't counted on that.
Cleaning fee (cash only) is 35 euros, I think your web site said 40.
Would visit again.
