La Sassolina, Montaione, Florence and Chianti

Once a schoolhouse, La Sassolina has been thoughtfully converted into charming classic accommodation. The property is suitable for a range of guests, from a multi-generation family to a group of friends, but will be especially popular with young families, who will love its ground-floor aspect and the fact that the private pool has a special shallow end that little kids can splash about in. Located in the hamlet of Iano, La Sassolina is perfect for those seeking to simply enjoy local life. The village has a grocery shop, restaurant and bar, while the town of Montaione, with its churches and adjacent castles, is just a short drive away. The property is also ideal for day trips to Pisa, Siena and the wider Chianti region.

While the villa is based on the ground floor, a small elevated reading room creates a mezzanine effect above the spacious living areas (a gate will stop little ones advancing up the stairs). La Sassolina is furnished luxuriously with antique pieces and the bedrooms in particular have an opulent feel, including iron-framed beds and decorative wall flourishes. There may be some debate about who gets the dramatic four-poster but there is some consolation for those losing out, because several bedrooms offer views across the countryside. Outside, the furnished terrace offers a shady place to lounge and dine, perhaps from the nearby barbecue, or you may prefer the romantic gazebo by the pool during the day (close to which is a table football table that will divert restless children while you linger over lunch).
