Cassiopea To

The estate consists of a large farmhouse which has been lovingly restored and cleverly divided into five spacious apartments, each on two floors and each with their own private garden or terrace complete with table and chairs for dining al fresco. In a sunny position in the grounds below the farmhouse is a swimming pool (12m x 6m), the perfect spot for relaxing whilst enjoying the peace and tranquillity. From all corners of the estate there are lovely views of the countryside and olive groves set in the terraced land so typical of this area.

Cassiopea To is perfect for smaller families or two couples. You enter at Cassiopea To through the private garden that leads into the eat-in kitchen that can accommodate 6 people. The kitchen is complete with oven, stove, and full size refrigerator. Along with the kitchen, the main floor also has a small storage space. The two bedrooms of Cassiopea To are located on the second and third floor of the apartment. Each room can comfortably sleep two adults and have ample space for your belongings. The apartment’s bathroom is located on the second floor and is complete with bidet and standup shower. Included in this apartment is a private, south-facing, covered terrace. The terrace overlooks the town of Lamporecchio while showcasing the beautiful Tuscan landscape.

In a separate building, the attentive owners have added a little reception and a laundry room with washing machine. There is also WiFi internet connection, a built in barbecue for guests use and even a vegetable garden in the grounds where you can pick your own produce in season. Also on the estate is a separate private villa with its own swimming pool which is also rented (see Villa Cassiopea).
