Podere Calza is a restored cottage whose foundations date back to medieval times. Sitting on the side of a hill, surrounded by olive trees and shaded by a secular oak tree, Podere Calza is the perfect base for a quiet and romantic holiday in a part of Tuscany which is still very pure and unspoilt. Completely restored by its owner, a lady who lived there permanently for 10 years. The house has a real welcoming feel. It develops around a very bright living area with a large fireplace and high windows offering stunning views over the country. A glass door takes you out to the terraced garden shaded by a lovely oak tree under which is a table for alfresco dining. Off the living room is a reading room equipped with a good stereo, TV and a double sofa bed. The reading room hosts a split floor with another double sofa bed.
The back portion hosts a double bedroom and a bathroom with bathtub. The house is easily reached via a 500mt gravel road.
