DescriptionIn true Tuscan style, magnificent cypress trees border the driveway leading up to Villa Il Poeta. It was a favourite place of Italian poet Giosuè Carducci who gained inspiration for his writing from the harmonious views over the Amiata and Cetona mountains and the luscious landscape below. The farmhouse, renovated to a high standard, is composed of four separate apartments, decorated in warm tones and colour coordinated soft furnishings. All four apartments have their own independent entrance and can be rented either separately or together, to accommodate groups of up to 15 people.
A swimming pool is set in the gardens in a beautiful panoramic position, making Il Poeta an ideal spot for true relaxation.
