Podere Cipressi

The description of the house in John Mortimer's famous book Summer's Lease might have been written to describe Podere Cipressi, but for the fact that the 13 x 7m pool is every bit as large as it looks in the photos! A masterful conversion of an ancient Tuscan farmhouse - a cavernous kitchen and vast drawing room with grand piano at one end, with characterful vaulted hallway ceilings, vast arched doorways and chestnut red shutters all cherished at the point of restoration. There are tiled floors, beamed ceilings, a bread oven and an obligatory collection of sun-hats on pegs in the entrance hall. Surrounded by thick green forestry and evocative castellated hilltops, Cipressi is as perfectly Chianti as it gets.

Podere Cipressi is culturally in the heart of Tuscany halfway between Florence and Siena. The property has modern, large bathrooms with a selection of stylish bathtubs and good working showers. The style is traditional, in keeping with its tile and stone clad floors and beautiful beamed ceilings. The spacious kitchen is the hub of the house with working fireplace and many doors and windows that can be thrown open to let in fabulous light. Outside the property is idyllic Chianti, with beautiful, well-tended gardens, pot plants, a lane of aromatic herbs, lawns and a wonderful kitchen garden. The stunning pool, with its pool house and terrace is in a perfect setting with plenty of room to take lunch or dinner, to while away the hours or cool off and there are several other outdoor spots with tables and chairs that are designed to take in the best light of the day and provide a variety of different aspects on the countryside.

The above benefits are not offered lightly. Red Savannah clients receive all the advantages and protections listed above, without paying a penny more. And remember, apart from the inability to match-make the right client to the right property, ‘Rental by Owner’ sites could expose the user to fraud. The City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, report that in 2016, fraudsters stole £7.2 million from 5,826 unsuspecting travellers via online scams. Why risk it?

*Best Price Guarantee applies only at the time of enquiry and before the booking has been confirmed and paid. If you find a cheaper price for exactly the same property on a like for like basis and over identical dates, and where in the sole opinion of Red Savannah, no substantive pricing error has been made or private discount offered, Red Savannah will match the price. This guarantee is valid only when prices are advertised and compared in the same currency. Please note that no further amendments to prices can be made following payment of deposit.
