Guests
are warmly received in the heart of Tuscany
"The Terrace
below the cedar"
Welcome to Castelnuovo
Val di Cecina, a peaceful small village with a breathtaking
thousand-year-old old "borgo" on top of a majestic
mountain surrounded by ancient chestnut tree forests. Castelnuovo
lies between the Chianti and the Maremma, and is in the
centre of the culturally most fascinating locations of Tuscany;
important archaeological sites and breathtaking beaches
such as the Gulf of Baratti, Rimigliano, Punta Ala and Castiglione
della Pescaia.
Our house lies
directly next to the town hall. From the large terrace one
has a wonderful view over the Pavone valley and the two
hills that are typical of our landscape, the Carlina and
the Cornata. The house has a high terrace and a vast garden
in which centre lies a gigantic old cedar, after which our
house is named.
The bedroom lies
in the quietest part of the house with a window leading
to the garden, which includes a secretive small grotta surrounded
by hortensia flowers. The furniture stems from the 19th
century. The bedroom is very spacious and one can easily
set up another bed. There is a separate entrance and a bathroom
that includes a full size bathtub that rests on the classic
lion's feet. The path to the garden leads through a small
office. During the summer you can have your breakfast on
the terrace. Otherwise, you can also have your breakfast
in the living room, a lovingly decorated, comfortable room
with furniture from the early 20th Century, and a marble
fire place in which a fire is lit on cold evenings. (Of
course we also have central heating.)
If you are interested,
Fabrizia the houseowner will give painting lessons or can
show you how to prepare and cook classic Italian dishes
and depending on the season you can collect fruit and cook
jams.
We are there
to make suggestions for day trips into the area and will
inform you about celebrations and events and will happily
show you the Borgo and the little treasures that can be
found in Castelnuovo.
