Porcilaia tiny countryside property, shared pool, ideal base to discover Tuscany

Borgo la Chiusa has 3 independent units: 2 semi-detached houses (Legnaia and Porcilaia) and 1 independent villa (Fienile):

PORCILAIA (sleeps 4) this unit
LEGNAIA (sleeps 8) https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p8669997
FIENILE (sleeps 10) https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p8669998

Borgo la Chiusa was part of an ancient convent just outside the walls of Siena, offering guests wonderful views, peaceful environment and one independent villa and two deliciously restored to detached houses with Siena terracotta floors, stone walls, beamed ceilings and very beautiful finishing touches.

Porcilaia, whose name means pigsty, was converted from the original pigsty of Borgo la Chiusa, part of an ancient convent.

The house sits on the left side of the property and is accessed from a welcoming terraced patio at the front of the house.

Porcilaia is endowed with an open living area, cleverly organised to fit a comfortable sofa and armchairs, a modern kitchen and dining area.

The double bedroom and the twin bedroom sit on the back portion of the house, overlooking the beautiful paved backyard ideal for breakfast in the morning!

Two full bathrooms with shower, one next to the living room and the other next to the double, in the sleeping area.

The outside offers a well kept private garden and a lovely patio equipped with table, chairs, loungers, BBQ and umbrellas for outside eating and relaxing.
