Notes from the host
Casal Biancospino
The property is ancient “podere” that has been refurbished from 2010 to 2012 using the original materials, it lies at 3 kms from the town of Chianciano Terme, one of the most popular thermal Spas in Italy, among the hills dividing Val d'Orcia and Valdichiana. If you are interested in wineries and wine tasting there are two at walking distance from the property, 3 more at 10 minutes driving & many other it the nearby Montepulciano and Montalcino. For hiking, there are some nice paths departing directly from the property and different ones in the hills near Chianciano Terme (3km far away). The whole property is for your private use and not shared with any other person. The villa (tastefully furnished) has 2 floors with independent but communicating entries (there are both internal and external staircases), so it is also suitable for 2 families who want to go on holiday together but at the same time have some privacy. Each floor has 2 bedrooms, kitchen or kitchnette, dining/living room, terrace with panoramic view. The first floor has a room with kitchen and double sofa bed, this room can also be used as 5th bedroom. The ground floor has one bathroom the first floor two. All the bedrooms and the living rooms are equipped with air conditioning. Wi-fi internet connection available on both floors. There are 2 baby cots available and 1 highchair (no problem to get a second one if asked). The property has a large private garden with a 12x5 swimming pool (1,20 to 1,70 meter deep). The pool area is completely fenced so the property is suitable for families with babies/young children, there is a first gate and fence near the villa at the beginning of the stairs to the pool area and a second one just before the pool area. There are tables and chairs to eat outdoor nar the villa and there is also at disposition a barbecue. All the necessary shops are available in the town of Chianciano Terme, the nearest restaurant/pizzeria (Il Casale) is at 1 km from the villa. More restaurants are available in the town self.
