In the heart of the lush Bolgheri countryside, this beautifully renovated farmhouse opens to a life of quiet and beauty.

The main house, now home to the owners, is harmoniously combined with four independent apartments, each a small retreat for those dreaming of a summer getaway in the heart of Tuscany. These apartments, rented during the summer season, offer an excellent opportunity for hospitality and income.
However, it is possible through simple interventions, to be carried out in a few hours, to unify the rooms according to one's needs.

In conclusion, buying a home in Castagneto Carducci offers the opportunity to live in one of the most fascinating and historically rich places in Tuscany, in an environment that guarantees quality of life, natural beauty, cultural richness, and unparalleled food and wine opportunities. nn Carefully renovating an old farmhouse, making it comfortable, in line with the most modern prescriptions both in terms of energy saving and anti-seismic, is not an easy task, and if this beautiful property today looks authentic, faithful in its details to the Tuscan tradition but at the same time a home usable at any time of the year, without the typical flaws of country houses such as rising damp and poor thermal insulation, we owe it to the patience and precision of the current owners.
It would have been easier and more cost-effective to forego the renovation and proceed directly to demolition and construction from scratch,
but we would have lost forever the charm of the ancient walls, which speak and tell us the history and life of times long gone by, when houses were built with what was available: stones (have you ever wondered where the name of the famous "Sassicaia" comes from) and wood. Stone, such as the pink stone that came from the quarries near San Vincenzo, a short distance away and which also provided the inspiration for the coloring of the plaster, which does not cover the walls but fills in the spaces between stones in the interior and exterior walls left face to face.
All materials used respect bio architecture, to enjoy life within these walls without exposing oneself to harmful factors, and many elements, such as the gratings, handcrafted to a unique design and not mass-produced, or the bathroom and floor coverings, are of design and very high quality.
A mini swimming pool with counter-current swimming, heated and accessible directly from the house, allows for a relaxing bath or a refreshing swim even outside the summer season.
The four apartments that are rented with great success during the summer season, enjoy very high ratings on dedicated portals, should you decide to continue this type of activity, you can count on an excellent start-up, otherwise it will be possible to reunite the spaces with a few simple interventions, in total or in part, reserving for example an apartment for guests. nn
