Property Description

Casa Frantosina is an intimate little house immersed in the Pisan hills and surrounded by the tranquillity of the typical Tuscan countryside. It was once a barn which has been restructured with the greatest regard to detail by the owner himself. Thanks to its strategic position, the house is the ideal choice for beach, art and nature lovers. Just a few kilometres from the main historical-medieval towns of Tuscany like Volterra, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, Florence, from the renowned Costa degli Etruschi with its many and various beaches and from the numerous cellars for tasting famous wines such as Sassicaia and Ornellaia; it is also possible to take local naturalistic excursions.

The house is a few metres from the property Frantosa but at the same time manages to maintain total privacy.
