Chianni, in the heart of Tuscany, is a pretty well-kept and perfectly Tuscan town, covered in pots of red geraniums and full of cobbled narrow lanes which open onto intimate little piazzas: stunning churches are around every corner. The ancient little town rises above the rolling Tuscan hills, so there are open views in all directions. There are good services including shops, banks, restaurants, post office, friendly cafes and interesting events throughout the year, such as the olive oil festa and the wild boar festa. Pontedera, nearby, is an interesting town and has the main train station on the Pisa- Florence line. The property is ideally located and transport links are good.

The beautiful town of Casciana Terme is a Roman spa town with natural thermal waters known for their curative properties. It is a pretty place with a friendly community and offers all the services necessary: excellent local restaurants, bars, shops, banks, post office, supermarket and a busy weekly market in the main square. Set halfway between the medieval town of Volterra and Pisa, the whole of Tuscany is within easy distance: the coastal reefs of Castiglioncello and the golden sandy beaches of Versilia can be accessed within half an hour and day trips are on hand to Florence, Siena and Lucca. The town is located in an area called Valdera, in Central Tuscany, between Pisa and Florence. This colourful landscape of rolling hills dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees epitomises the Tuscan countryside.. Here Andrea Bocelli was born and it is in the heart of Valdera, in Lajatico, that the famous Teatro del Silenzio (the Theatre of Silence) is found, where the natural landscape creates a breathtaking setting and in the summer months some of the biggest names in international music gather for a spectacular performance.
