Amarrante, formally a monastery, is a beautiful old farmhouse which has been carefully restored and stands on the edge of a small cluster of stone farmhouses approximately 1.5 miles from the hilltop village of Montaione.

From the garden there are outstanding views to the village of Montaione and to the surrounding countryside. The village has a good supermarket, two banks, a pharmacy, several shops, bars and good restaurants. Horse riding and tennis courts are available nearby and there is a good golf course with 18 holes at Castelfalfi approximately 7miles away.

This property is well placed for touring in central Tuscany - San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, Florence and Siena are all within easy driving distance. There is a train station in Castelfiorentino.

There is a delightful well kept lawned garden with shrubs and trees, table tennis, barbecue and a good swimming pool for shared use (8m x 5m) with sun beds. Two mountain bikes are available for guests. There is a laundry with a washing machine for shared use. Most mornings the local baker passes and it will be a great opportunity for you to purchase fresh Italian bread. The caring owners live in nearby Montaione and they will do everything to make sure you have a most enjoyable stay.

The farmhouse has been carefully divided into three individual properties and finished to a very good standard in typical Tuscan style with beautiful terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. Furnishings are comfortable and tasteful in rustic style with some beautiful antique pieces and much attention to detail. Central heating is available if required. A cot can be supplied on request.
