2间卧室半独立房屋, 145 m²

基安尼, Pisa (省)

Semi-detached house set in a quiet and private area of Chianni, just five minutes walk to the centre, with private parking space, large private garden and balcony. The area is a little higher than the main town, allowing for beautiful, far-reaching views.

Accommodation is arranged over two storeys, as follows:

First floor (93 sqm): External staircase (in common with the next door property) leading to private balcony with panoramic views. Sitting room with fireplace, kitchen, bedroom, bedroom / study, and bathroom. This part of the house was renovated in 1970 and now would benefit from some modernisation.

Ground floor (53 sqm): Connected to the first floor via a spiral staircase, on this level there are three large rooms, each opening into the garden, plus a bathroom. All are currently classified as storage rooms, but (with the appropriate planning consents) offer the potential to create a living area and kitchen opening onto the garden.

The garden is beautiful, with fruit trees and some olive trees. Measuring approx 400 sqm there is potential to install a swimming pool (subject to planning permission); it is a very precious outdoor area, and a very rare find within the village.

Chianni is a lively small town in Tuscany with some nice shops, good coffee bars, a great new bistro and a lovely hotel with small spa (open to non-residents) which is all just a very short stroll away. It is just 40 mins from Pisa airport. The coastal cities of Castiglioncello and Cecina, the golf courses of Pisa and Castelfalfi, and the historic towns of Volterra and San Gimignano are all close by, and each make a wonderful day out. The town is located in Valdera in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence. This colourful landscape of rolling hills is dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees, all of which epitomise the Tuscan landscape. The nearby città d’arte (cities of art) include Volterra, San Gimignano, Palaia and Florence, each offering splendid art and architecture to admire.

In Lajatico, Andrea Bocelli, the famous tenor, was born and it is in the heart of Valdera that his Teatro del Silenzio (the Theatre of Silence) draws some of the biggest names in opera, when he hosts a summer festival each year in July. The spa town of Casciana Terme, also in the area, has thermal water pools, indoor and out with a spa which is open to visitors to enjoy. It is a pretty town with piazzas and cafeès serving the local wine.
