In an area of breathtaking natural beauty, this lovingly restored stone cottage is set on the edge of the picturesque village of Castello di Comano.
La Casetta Amato is nestled beside a mountain stream, with a medieval footbridge providing access to the centre of the village. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard, whilst preserving its original charm and character, and is the idyllic place to relax and unwind.
VILLA FOR RENT IN TUSCANY
Built originally as a flour mill in 1736, the owners have restored the cottage, keeping its rustic character by retaining many of the original features that include the terracotta and stone-flagged floors, wood-beamed ceilings and some of the exposed stone walls.
The cottage is entered through old chestnut doors down stone steps into the large well-equipped kitchen. This homely kitchen has a dining table and chairs and the central feature is its stone fireplace that provides charm in the summer and warmth in the winter when the central heating is not required. It is equipped with an oven, hob and washing machine.
French doors take you onto the sunny terrace overhanging the mountain stream, with a view up to the castle and hills beyond.
An arched doorway leads you through to the cosy living room which was once the chestnut drying room. Furnished with a comfortable sofa bed, television for videos, stereo with CD player and a video library should you wish to relax at home.
Double doors lead out from the living room onto the delightful flower filled terrace - perfect for al fresco dining.
To help you make the most of your stay at La Casetta Amato we have provided books, games, tennis rackets and mountain bikes to add to your enjoyment. There is also an information pack to help you plan your days.
RENTAL ACCOMMODATION
From the kitchen, a steep staircase take you up to the attractive shower room and to a bright and airy double bedroom, with pretty views of the castle and hills from its windows.
