Italy, Buonconvento (near Siena), San Nazario, Casa Rasa


We went to this beautiful Casa Rasa farmhouse in 2002 (amazing I still remember this...). The house is on a hilltop with panoramic views. It was recommended by word of mouth to Marketa R. and our whole group consisted of 4 adults and 5 kiddies, all staying in the spacious apartment on the first floor, which has a 10m long loggia with open arches, kitchen/living room and four bedrooms, two with private bath or shower rooms and two that share a study and bath/shoer room reached down a short staircase. The fourth bedroom has direct access to the loggia. The rooms are tall and birght, with beamed ceiling and beautiful floors laid in travertine and terracotta. Nearby is the medieval town of Buonconvento and the Benedictine monastery Monte Oliveto Maggiore. We took trips to Siena, Florence and many smaller towns nearby. Beautifull Tuscany!!! At the time we were there, there was also a small pool near the house. The owners live in the apartement downstairs. We had such a great time there - for me it was one of the best vacations ever.
