About this property
Lovely stone house for 2 people in the heart of Tuscany
Casina di Rosa is a cozy vacation house in Tuscany and a perfect base for sightseeing trips to the most famous sites in southern Tuscany. It is also the perfect place for a romantic and relaxing break in a medieval hiltop village, where you get to experience authentic daily life in a traditional Tuscan setting. The house has recently undergone a complete remodeling and consists of 3 rooms (kitchen, bedroom with lounge area, bathroom) and is furnished with original pieces and new items in traditional Tuscan style. The kitchen has all major appliances (including washing machine) and a working fireplace. The bedroom has a lovely lounge area with sofas and a library of guidebooks and maps for our guests to borrow. Ideal to experience authentic life in a hilltop village in Tuscany and to explore the most beautiful areas in the region. Very romantic, perfect for honeymoons. The little loggia is great for relaxing under the Tuscan sun and enjoying the view of the village life. Parking space available nearby. Free wifi and air-conditioning for the summer months. Plenty of very positive reviews available online.

About the host
Hosted by Marcel and Gloria Gordon
We do our best to make our guests' stay as pleasant as possible, and to make them feel at home and most welcome. We have worked in tourism and communication for a long time and this has allowed us to meet many great guests, most of which we now have the pleasure to call friends. We are an Italian-Canadian couple with two children. Marcel is Canadian and works as a programmer. Gloria is originally from the village where Casina di Rosa is located and where her entire family still lives. She is a University professor.
Why they chose this property
Casina di Rosa was built by Gloria's great-grandparents and has never left the family. In fact, Rosa was her great-grandmother's name. The owners have a very special bond with Casina di Rosa and treat it as their own home, and not just like a vacation property. The house was renovated at the beginning of 2010. It is a romantic and cozy home for two in a non-touristy hilltop village in the heart of the Tuscan countryside.
What makes this property unique
Casina di Rosa is very conveniently located to explore many diverse areas of Southern Tuscany, the most popular and beautiful area of the region. The village has easy access to one of the main roads, E78 that connects Florence, Siena and the coast of the Maremma. Montalcino, Pienza and the Val d'Orcia are also an easy day trip and so are the coast of the Maremma and the chestnut groves of the Monte Amiata. The house is very well equipped: we make a point to go out and buy what our guests could not find. We have installed air-conditioning and heating system, we provide internet access for free, and fire wood for the open fireplace located in the kitchen. We also provide guidebooks and maps.
