Profile


 
Casa al Prato is an ancient farm house located in the small village of Lamole, in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone, 30 km south of Florence and about the same distance north of Siena. The location is ideal for visiting the numerous vineyards of the area and for going on relaxing walks through the surrounding forests. The house has two private gardens, one in front, one behind, and perfect for outdoor meals.
 
Upon request, we can serve breakfast or dinners composed of typical Chianti dishes. Casa al Prato, with its style of architecture, authentic restoration and furnishings entirely coeval with the house, is ideal for a vacation providing contact with nature and Chianti traditions. On the ground floor, from a little porch, you enter a living room with two beds and which opens onto a garden of mature plants and with an area of about 300 sq m.
 
From the living room, you pass to a small kitchenette and then a passage with a wardrobe and a bathroom with bath and shower. At the end of the passage, you find another double bedroom with private shower. From the living room, a staircase takes you to the first floor from which you may also descend directly to the garden down an old stone staircase.
 
The large first floor living room is truly the heart of the house, with wooden beamed ceilings, stone architrave and a fireplace dating from the 16 C. Opening off it is a large and ancient kitchen with a fireplace and antique furniture. From the living room, you pass into a passage which accesses a double bedroom with private bath and a wooden staircase that ascends to the top floor which occupies a smaller, turret-like part of the house where you find another double room with private shower.
 
In front of the house is a small rustic alcove containing a genuine and perfectly functional wood oven in which the farmers used to bake their bread. Casa al Prato combines the fascination of the antique with all modern comforts to provide real tranquillity during your holiday. Central heating, washing machine, telephone, television and a small library of books about Tuscany and the Chianti in particular are all at your disposal.
