The name Casa al Bosco - 'House in the Woods' - conveys the sense of privacy and peace afforded by this lovely old stone house, but fails to pay tribute to the wonderful airiness of its rooms and the sweeping views of the Colle del Val d'Elsa from its terrace and dining loggia. Terracotta floors, high beamed ceilings and a quiet blend of contemporary and antique furnishings combine to create an interior that is cool and welcoming during the summer months and warm and cosy when the temperatures fall. A broad lawn studded with olive trees and cypresses leads downhill to a large pool where loungers provide a leisurely alternative to sightseeing. This highly sought-after region hosts some of the finest wineries in Tuscany, whose products can be sampled on the spot at their fattorie or in any one of the many fine restaurants in the nearby villages.
