|
Belvedere di Prato offers all you could want for a perfect holiday in this fascinating region. Many of the area’s most famous tourist destinations are within easy reach, yet you may be tempted just to relax and enjoy the scenery by the pool, play a game of tennis or garden chess or, in the cooler seasons, settle down by the fire with a book from the extensive library. The comprehensively equipped kitchen has everything you need for making use of the wonderful local produce, and the beautiful garden provides a choice of outside dining areas for enjoying the fruits of your labours. Furnishings and fittings throughout the house reflect the character of the region without sacrificing comfort, while many extras, such as pool towels and hairdryers, are included to cut down your packing. The delightful towns and villages nearby offer restaurants, markets, festivals, produce fairs and more at any season, and many of our guests return year after year to make the most of them all.
