Il Pietraio is an old country house immersed deeply in the wild woods of the Carline Natural Reserve, a hidden pearl in the province of Siena amidst deer, porcupines and wild boars.

The house, on a secluded hill with beautiful views, is 3 kms into the woods bordering only with a restaurant and an ancient thermal bath 2 kms away.

The whole property has recently been completely restored using traditional Tuscan techniques. A lot of attention was given to detail, all rooms are carefully decorated and furnished with antiques, most rooms has heating and air conditioning, satellite tv with flat screen; all rooms have mosquito nets on wooden frames on each window.

Il Pietraio is made up of two separate units which can be rented as a whole or separately.

The main unit sleeps up to 12 in 6 bedrooms. It develops around the cosy inner yard hosting on the ground floor 3 en-suite double bedrooms with air conditioning and satellite tv, a large panoramic lounge/dining room, BBQ and open air wood oven. The first floor features a large open kitchen/living area with satellite tv and 3 double bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The first floor rooms have no air conditioning.

The self-contained independent studio flat at the back of the house sleeps up to 4. It is made up of a large open living area with kitchen, table, bathroom and double sofa-bed on the ground floor and a double bedroom on an open split floor. The flat has air conditioning and satellite flat tv. This unit has direct access to the swimming pool and a private terrace with outdoors eating facilities.

Il Pietraio has a panoramic swimming pool with shower, deckchairs and parasols.

The ancient Thermal spa of Le Galleraie is a beautiful structure offering all sorts of treatments and access to the geothermic spa waters.

The neighbouring restaurant Porcignano is an incredible place where some of the most ancient and traditional Tuscan dishes can be savoured with homemade jellies and preserves of the rarest berries picked patiently by the solitary lady who runs it with her young chef to be son.

Both venues are nice walking to from Il Pietraio.

The area abounds in marked walking routes, beautiful rivers, genuine restaurants, organic farmhouses, scrumptious food and breathtaking views.

Food shopping, restaurants, bars, chemist, bank, post office can be found in either Belforte or Radicondoli which are 7 and 12 kms away.
