Description
Property Summary
Nestled within the medieval hamlet of Palazzavelli, just one kilometre from the centre of Sovicille in Tuscany, Italy, La Capanna di Franca is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse that offers an exceptional vacation rental experience for those seeking authentic rural charm combined with modern comfort. Originally an old barn, this characterful country house was meticulously transformed in 2006 through careful restoration work that preserved and celebrated its original architectural style, resulting in a warm and inviting retreat that harmoniously blends rustic heritage with contemporary living. Set in an independent position within a lush garden of approximately 5,000 square metres, the property enjoys breathtaking views from the first floor windows over the surrounding Tuscan countryside, with the city of Siena visible in the distance. Guests benefit from private parking accessed via a driveway bordered by rows of cypresses, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, and a stunning infinity pool set within the beautifully landscaped grounds. The expansive yard, rich with typical Tuscan flora including cork and holm oaks, mulberry and olive trees, palms, pomegranates, roses and broom, creates a serene and private atmosphere that invites relaxation and outdoor living at its finest.
Outdoors
The grounds of La Capanna di Franca are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape, extending across approximately 5,000 square metres of predominantly lawn-covered parkland. From the entrance gate, a cypress-lined driveway guides you through a well-tended, blooming garden where seasonal flower beds border the stone path leading to the pool area. The atmosphere throughout is quiet and reserved, encouraging guests to spend long hours outdoors. Directly outside the living room French window, a large porch furnished with a table and chairs provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and leisurely gatherings in the shade. Please note that the garden photographs were taken in spring, and the appearance of the flowers and grass may vary depending on the season of your visit.
The centrepiece of the outdoor space is the magnificent non-heated infinity pool, positioned just 15 metres from the house and immersed in the surrounding garden. Rectangular in shape and measuring 6 x 12 metres, the pool features a border in Tuscan travertine and is internally lined with mosaic tiles, lending it an elegant and distinctly regional character. The depth varies from 1.20 metres to 2.20 metres, and access to the water is made easy via large steps. The pool is equipped with chlorine purification, as well as lighting both inside and outside the water. Along one side, a discreet hedge provides a sense of privacy, while fragrant roses frame the perimeter and a carpet of well-kept lawn surrounds the sunbathing area, which is furnished with sunbeds, an awning, and a hammock. A wooden gazebo with table and chairs completes this outdoor retreat, and an outdoor shower is also available for guests' convenience. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
