Description
Leccio Del Corno is located in the beating heart of Tuscany in central Italy, a short distance from some of the most famous towns and cities such as Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, and Volterra. Its great position makes it an ideal base from which to explore this region.
Inside the lovely holiday home, you can find wooden ceiling beams, pale terracotta tiles and a modern, fully-equipped kitchen. All five bedrooms are designed with minimalism, with large double or twin beds and wardrobes. In addition, the entire property boasts high ceilings, light colours contrasting with the wooden beams overhead and the occasional antique armoire.
Outside, there is a majestic pool, and it’s clear why guests love spending most of their time here. Soak up warm sun rays on one of the sun loungers and tuck into a good book whilst enjoying the sweet melody of birds nestled in the surrounding trees. The pool will be sure to keep both adults and children entertained. This property has a charming rural ambience, from the covered outdoor dining area to the rear terraces and the garden’s terraced surface, presenting plenty of options for al-fresco meals.
In less than 10 minutes by car, you can discover the charming local village Castelfiorentino, which has a fantastic array of amenities, such as bars, restaurants, family-owned cafés and shops, as well as a theatre and a small boutique museum with frescoes.
Fancy a change of scenery? In just 30 minutes, you can be walking around winding paths in the mediaeval town of San Gimignano. Its Porta San Giovanni is an imposing stone gate from the 13th century, with an external segmental arch and a guardroom which would interest history lovers. Other towns such as Pienza, Vinci and Monteriggioni are also a comfortable driving distance away.
You’ll love being so close to Tuscany’s famous cities, such as Florence, Pisa and Siena. Notably, Florence is renowned worldwide for its Renaissance architecture and metropolitan feel, and it’s known to be one of the most beautiful places to visit in Europe.
Pisa, with its famous leaning tower, is also just an hour’s drive away. Apart from the majestic building that reaches 56.67 metres on the highest side, the city is a gem for foodies, full of restaurants serving delicious Italian dishes alongside superb wine and desserts, including tiramisu and first-class gelato.
After an entire day exploring Tuscany’s cities, you’ll love returning to your comfortable abode. You can recharge with family and friends before setting off for another adventure the next day.
