Je recommande vivement les villes toscanes de Montepulciano, Montalcino, Corona et Pienza (il y a un super bar au coucher du soleil, nommé Idyllium, situé derrière l'église). Prendre plaisir!

The cow hides are genuine. There is also leather in the house in some room. The hides are generally a cool weather feature and thus not present in the rooms in the Summer but we also move them on request for example when we have Jains come to stay.

Hello Jenny, I only just saw your question, so apologies for the lateness of my reply. There is no reason for us to close the pool other than the pool is not heated. In early October, daytime temperatures here are in the mid twenties Centigrade. I imagine the pool will be at about 20C - so, it really depends on your constitution ! It is the sort of temperature that you would need to plunge in and adjust. If you have any further questions, I would appreciate you contacting us via our website as I do not get notice of pending emails from TripAdvisor. Kind regards, Malvin

Dear Julie, Thank you for your interest in the House. I honestly cannot advise coming to us without a car. Walking to the nearby restaurants would entail passing along Italian rural roads. The roads do not have foot paths/ side walks and Italian drivers are quite lax with regards to the rules of the highway. Kind regards, Malvin
