This beautiful barn develops on two levels. Recently restored, it sits on the hills that dominate Poggibonsi. The town centre is about 4 kms away. There is a really good supermarket about 1.5 kms away in direction of Colle Val D’Elsa, and the town of Poggibonsi offers all shops, restaurants, and facilities including a modern hospital and public tennis courts. San Gimignano is at 12 kms, Siena is at 15 kms, Volterra is at 20 kms and Firenze is at 35 kms.

The barn is across a paved terrace from the owner’s house. They have maximum respect for client privacy and use a totally separate entrance so as not to intrude. The paved area is reserved for the guests in the barn and there is also a private parking area for guests just past the entrance pillars. The pillars lead into the property from the external dirt track, which is well kept and only used by locals, but, as there are neither fence nor gate, children need to be watched. Opposite the entrance and protected by a thick row of olive trees is the swimming pool that measures 5 X 10 meters (1.6 meters deep) which is for exclusive guest use.

Private entrance to the barn is from the paved terrace, through a door, into an entrance hall. A stone arch divides the entrance from the living room on the left, while straight ahead is the modern, liveable kitchen that is fully equipped with gas range, ventilated oven, dishwasher, fridge that is set under the counter, Espresso coffee maker, and toaster. A door at the end of the kitchen opens into a utilities room with freezer for guest use and where the garden furniture is stored when not in use.

In the luminous living room that has an enormous arched window with fixed glass panel facing the paved terrace, are the fireplace and the dining area. The large window is provided with wooden shutters on the outside if guests want to close them for extra privacy. There is a satellite TV with DVD and a CD player in the living room. From the living room, a short hall with two doors, leads also to a beautiful travertine staircase leading to the upper floor. The first door in the hall opens into a comfortable service bathroom with washbasin, bidet, WC, washing machine and window. The second door opens into a twin bedded room with beds that can be united into a double if requested at time of booking.

The staircase leads up to a small landing with doors to the double bedroom and to the complete bathroom with shower stall. The floors are in cotto and the ceilings are part with wood beams on sight and part whitewashed. The furniture is very comfortable and there is a baby cot available for guest use. Small domestic animals are allowed and there is central gas heating. Gas is payable on consumption during heating season together with firewood. The windows all have mosquito screens.There is also a barbecue provided and the garden, terrace and pool areas are all furnished.
