The house is only 1.2 km on a dirt road from the picturesque medieval village of Roccastrada where you will find groceries, bakers, a butcher, a supermarket, 2 banks, a drugstore and a postal office for all your needs. There are a couple of restaurants/pizzeria’s in the village and plenty of outstanding trattoria’s and little restaurants in the nearby small villages or in the countryside where you’ll enjoy great wine and food. It's an excellent home base for daily trips to the world famous art cities Siena, Florence and Pisa; it is only 45 minutes by car from the beautiful sandy beaches of Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala, from the wonderful wine region of Montalcino, the deeply wooded Orcia valley and the volcanic peaks of Mount Amiata, the highest mountain in Tuscany (1738 m), covered with snow in the winter with ski facilities.

Hi everyone! After many many years of love, challenges, work and satisfaction, I’m selling my family home in Tuscany. The time has come for me to embark on a new path.
This house is a special place where it is not unusual to find oneself in the rustling of trees or the singing of birds, to breathe nature and peace.
If you have always dreamed of buying a house in Tuscany, get your chance now and live it to the fullest. Feel free to share!
