Beautiful stone house, renovated with care and attention to detail, in the 'centro storico', the historic centre, of the pretty town of Chianni. Spacious, with an open flow, presented in excellent condition throughout and ready to move into. Offered for sale to include the furniture. Lovely terrace and patio. Set on a quiet street with very little traffic and close to all the local amenities.

The house is on two levels with three independent entrances. On the ground floor is a 'loggia' at the entrance door, a lovely place to sit with a coffee, and you enter into the comfortable living room with fireplace and a beautiful brick and beam ceiling. An impressive Tuscan arch divides this room from the dining area. There is also a bathroom with shower on this floor and a large cupboard. Also on the ground floor, is another large room, also with beamed ceilings and bricks, which is currently used as a professional studio, or it could be used as an additional bedroom and there is a bathroom with washing machine, This area has its own independent entrance and large French window overlooking the loggia.

The first floor is accessed via a spectacular travertine marble staircase which leads to a graceful and romantic balcony with a view to the illuminated tower of the church of San Donato. This balcony/terrace can also be accessed via the external stone staircase. On this floor we have a large room with the well-fitted kitchen with a dining area and sofa, a large hallway with iron balustrade, and a spacious bathroom with shower. There is also a smaller bedroom (currently used as a study) with Juliet balcony, also overlooking the church tower.

The house is sold fully furnished with some valuable antique furniture, and in excellent order throughout. The quality of the finishes shines through and it is obvious that great care has been taken with the layout, to provide a flexible space perfect for friends and family in every season of the year. Wonderful as a permanent home, or as a holiday in a stunning part of Tuscany, or for rental options. A lovely place to enjoy evenings with friends in front of the fireplace in the winter or to relax and admire the starry sky with the illuminated tower beyond, on a warm summer's evening.

There is parking available (but not owned by the property) just a few meters away. All utilities are connected and wifi is available. Central heating. A wonderful selection of coffee bars and good, local restaurants are within a five minutes walk, with a friendly local and international community on hand.

Chianni is a lovely town in Tuscany with some nice shops, good coffee bars, restaurants and pizzerie including a great new bistro in the main piazza and a lovely hotel with small spa. It is just 40 mins from Pisa airport. The coastal cities of Castiglioncello and Cecina on the coast, the golf courses of Pisa and Castelfalfi, and the historic towns of Volterra and San Gimignano are all close by, and each make a wonderful day out. The town is located in Valdera in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence. This colourful landscape of rolling hills is dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees, all of which epitomizes the Tuscan landscape. The nearby città d’arte (cities of art) include Volterra, San Gimignano, Palaia and Florence, each offering splendid art and architecture to admire. In Lajatico, Andrea Bocelli, the famous tenor, was born and it is in the heart of Valdera that his Teatro del Silenzio (the Theatre of Silence) draws some of the biggest names in opera, when he hosts a summer festival each year in July. The spa town of Casciana Terme, also in the area, is a pretty town with piazzas and cafès serving the local wine and it is famous for the thermal waters and spa which are open to visitors to enjoy.
