Metranino - Self-catering house in Tuscany
53013 Gaiole in Chianti, Siena
Tuscany,
Italia
It's basically just one big room (it used to house the gardener for the main building) but it's well put-together, a place for everything and everything in its place, so you won't feel at all cramped. There are plenty of books to read and a wood-burning stove for chilly evenings but mostly you'll be outdoors on the deckchairs facing the trees, eating al fresco or swinging in the hammock – it's all well lit in the evenings.
The kitchenette along one wall has an oven/microwave, double induction hob, kettle, toaster and Nespresso machine, so it's fine for preparing meals for yourselves and you're left a few basics like oil, salt, pepper etc. Head straight out to the Eroica route for some fine cycling, and walks will be sublime.
Come for total peace and quiet, to recharge your energy levels in the great outdoors and feel at one with nature. Cookery classes and wine tastings can be arranged.
