The Villa del Cuculo, (280sqm, 10 people, 5 double bedrooms, 6 bathrooms), has been recently renovated and refurbished while maintaining the characteristics that make the ancient rural residences of the Tuscan countryside unaltered.
With great care, the character of the old substance was preserved, high-quality materials were used and Italian design was combined with regional craftsmanship.
