Capella Nunziata was restored about five years ago to the highest standard, now creating a beautiful 3 bedroom home that is perfect for holidays. There is central heating for the colder months. The property is attached at the back to 3 other homes. It is all on one floor. Surrounded by a grassy private garden overlooking rolling Tuscan countryside. The typical Volterra Balze countryside is all around, with deep eroded gulleys and wooded hills. The house has outdoor furniture for alfresco dining, and shares a large pool with a farmhouse and a few apartments. Nunziata is reached by a winding white road with little traffic, but is not isolated, sharing a large communal garden. There are lots of walks in the area, details can be found at the house. Volterra is full of shops, restaurants and Etruscan ruins. Jazz festivals in the summer and a mediaeval pageant. Car essential.
