Capella Nunziata was restored about five years ago to the highest standard, now creating a beautiful three bedroom home that is perfect for holidays. There is central heating for the colder months. The house stands alone on a small hill, 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 few apartments in the nearby farmhouse. Nunziata is reached by a winding white road with little traffic, but is not isolated, sharing a large communal garden with the old farmhouse. There are lots of walks in the area, details of can be found at the house. Nearby is Monte Voltaio, a remarkable rocky hill which is easily climbed for magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.
