The kitchen is equipped with an oven, dishwasher, fridge, and stove with four rings. A hallway leads to the bedrooms, two with a queen size bed and one with two single beds (each 80 x 190cm).

The central piazzetta faces the private pool (15 x 7m), which is next to a vineyard and is surrounded by a lawn. On the piazzetta there is a gazebo with sofas for relaxing. On one side there is an antique wood-burning oven, which is still usable. Guests can benefit from an approximately 2-hectare garden. The annex provides access to a large veranda under the loggia, which has a dining table for 14 people. On the northern side, behind the owner’s house, there is a park with centuries-old trees that stretches as far as the Arno River (300 metres away). Those who would like to can go fishing in the river (two fishing rods can be provided on request). Some bicycles are also available for use free of charge. There is a parking space on site. In another annex there is a hobby room with table football and a table tennis table, to which guests have free access. The site has a private church and an ancient wine cellar, which guests are welcome to visit on request (guided tour). From June to September (opening times of the pool) it is only possible to rent the whole house (for 14 people). During the other months of the year, the first floor can be rented separately (for six people), or together with the annex (eight people).
