Description
Monteguidi is a tiny village unknown to many but the cradle of the love between Mara and Bebo in the famous book of 1960 “La Ragazza di Bube” by Carlo Cassola; now a pretty village with a breathtaking view over Val d'Elsa and Val di Cecina.
The property comprises: private access door and a cellar on the ground floor; on the first floor, kitchen and living room; on the second floor bedroom 1 and bathroom; on the third floor bedroom 2, and another small living room, plus access to the panoramic terrace.
The house is in good condtion having been renovated a few years ago. The terrace is a fantastic spot to sit and admire the beautiful village and the spectacular views of the hills.
In the village of Monteguidi you will find a friendly community. There is a bar 'circolo', and a good trattoria 'Il Piattoforte' close to the house. Daily bread delivery to the door as well as weekly fresh fish. There is a play area for children and a charming medieval church offering services every Sunday. There are beautiful walks in every direction all with panoramic views. Close by, there are three renowned vineyards selling wine, olive oil and honey. Throughout the year they all offer tasting events. There are horse riding facilities and stables close by.
A regular bus service links the village to Casole d'Elsa and the larger town of Colle Val d'Elsa. Casole d'Elsa is a delightful medieval town, a 10 minute drive away, with a weekly market, a good choice of grocery stores, bakeries, butchers, a pharmacy, banks, post office, bars and restaurants.
