Condominio for Køb i Volterra, toscana

This farm complex is a 9th century restored hilltop hamlet ('Borgo') nestled in the heart of historic Tuscany. The development, completed in 2008, comprises 21 individual units. The restoration utilized skilled craftsmanship and materials in keeping with the ancient ruins. The buildings are furnished with traditional copper piping, oak beams, terracotta tiling and old Tuscan brickwork, while furnishing all modern conveniences. In a commanding position, the panoramic views from all four buildings are breathtaking. It is certainly one of the finest and most sympathetic restorations in the region and a joy for all visitors. Accommodation Living area: The front entrance leads into a spacious open-plan kitchen/sitting room and dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with every modern convenience and a door leading out onto the terrace. The terrace is fully furnished for al fresco dining and has a covered pergola to keep shaded on those balmy summer days. Bedrooms: The house has 3 good sized bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom is a large double and has double doors which open onto the terrace and its beautiful views. Upstairs off the large landing there are 2 further rooms used as double bedrooms. All bedrooms are bright but have the added benefit of heavy wood shutters on the windows and outer doors to enable the rooms to remain cool and allow for well deserved lie-ins. In addition the furniture is typically Tuscan, in good quality dark wood and the fittings are equally in keeping with the style of the house. Each room in the house is air conditioned for maximum comfort. Bathrooms: There are 2 bathrooms, both large in size, one of which is downstairs next to the bedroom and has a shower and the 2nd of which caters for the two upstairs bedrooms and also has a shower.
