☆ The Eye of My Little Tuscany ☆
At My Little Tuscany, we believe in transparency to guarantee you a peaceful stay. Here is our attentive look at Villa Carcenac:
☼ The assets of this property:
* A location in the heart of nature, perfect for lovers of peace and wide open spaces.
* A spacious swimming pool (12x5m) (open from May to September, weather permitting) equipped with sun loungers and parasols to enjoy the sun in complete serenity.
* Spacious terraces with garden furniture, ideal for convivial moments outdoors.
* Two wood-burning stoves for a warm comfort during winter evenings.
* A bright and spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen.
☁︎ Points to keep in mind:
- The owners, a charming elderly English couple, sometimes stay for a few days a year in the right wing of the house. However, if their visit coincides with your stay, do not worry: the swimming pool, the villa and all the outdoor areas will be entirely privatised to guarantee your tranquillity.
- A small country road passes nearby, but it is very little used.
- In high season (from the opening of the pool), our pool technician and our teams come twice a week (before your arrival and mid-stay) to check the water quality and maintain the pool. A regular attention to guarantee you a pleasant and serene swimming experience.
