Kitchen/dining room - living room with sofa bed - 1 double bedroom - 1 bathroom

This delightful independent apartment entirely occupies a barn that is part of an ancient farmhouse complex that careful restoration transformed into three separate apartments. They all belong to a group of locals, and one is occupied by relatives of the owner of Casuccia.

There are ample opportunities for walks through the woods of the area and the position is ideal for visiting the major wine estates of the Chianti Classico region. On clear days, Siena is visible on the horizon. The farmhouse is reached by the asphalt road that connects Radda in Chianti with Lecchi. The road passes by the outside walls of the farmhouse gardens but as it is a road of little traffic, it does not disturb the peace. Lecchi with basic shops is at 3 kms, while Radda in Chianti with all facilities, public tennis courts, shops and restaurants is at 6 kms. Castellina in Chianti is at 15 kms as is Pianella, both with public swimming pools. Siena is at 30 kms and horses can be hired near Radda in Chianti.

Casuccia is located at one side of the farmhouse's internal courtyard. The access road leads to its private wrought iron access gate with internal parking. The dirt road continues on past the gate, leaving it on the left and ends at a second parking area up above the barn’s level that is used by the apartment in the main farmhouse that is occupied by a relative of the owner.

On this upper level is a first furnished terrace that is private to the barn, offering views over the surrounding countryside. From this upper terrace, down a few stone steps is the lower private furnished terrace located directly in front of the barn’s entrance. This terrace is protected by hedges and a stone wall that incorporates a wonderful barbecue. It is on this level where the carefully kept gardens lead to the barn’s private, round swimming pool that measures 4.5 meters in diameter and is 1.10 meters deep.

Panoramic glass doors open from the terrace into the spacious living room with comfortable sofa bed, fireplace and satellite TV. Through an open archway is the dining room and kitchen corner that is complete with gas range, electric oven, microwave, toaster, American coffee machine, and fridge with freezer. A short hallway leads from the dining room to a utilities room and to the complete bathroom with both bathtub and shower. Doors in the kitchen open onto the terrace which makes access to the outside barbecue and dinner table quite comfortable. This terrace is ideal for enjoying one’s meals in total privacy while gazing at the beautiful countryside below with vineyards, olive trees and woodlands.

Next to the fireplace is a wood paneled-partition wall that separates the double bedroom from the living room. The double bedroom has a door opening onto the internal farmhouse courtyard. The apartment is tastefully and comfortably furnished in typical Tuscan style, with wood beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls and cotto floors. There is a baby cot and central gas heating. Gas is payable on consumption during heating season together with firewood. One side of the living room has large panoramic windows that provide wonderful luminosity. The house has WIFI.
