Charming, very nicely decorated stone cottage with air-conditioning in the hills near San Gimignano. The owners of Fonte delle Fate (‘Spring of the Fairies’) have achieved the perfect balance between old and new. Set in the lush hills south-west of Florence, this lovely old stone cottage still boasts the traditional high-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors but has otherwise enjoyed a thorough updating. The centrepiece is a large open-plan living-dining room with a fitted kitchen and a working fireplace. Enlarged windows flood the room with light and French doors open to an extensive terrace furnished with comfortable chairs, market umbrellas and a dining table. Contemporary comforts include private bathrooms for each of the two bedrooms, air-conditioning and satellite television. Outside, the cottage’s fully fenced lawned garden boasts lovely old olive trees and a pretty private swimming pool.
