The charming country house

An ancient Agostinian hermitage is now a charming country house with swimming pool (dipped into a natural reserve area) in the very heart of the etrurian Tuscany, between Volterra and the sea.
A specially “neat place” since it has been constructed with bio-compatible material and in total absence of electromagnetic fields. There are no electric pylons, and the only energy source there, consists in a modern micro-generator that produces hot water and electricity at the same time, there is no source of pollution.
The rooms are built on the very principles of feng-shui, they are named after the five chinese elements, and are furnished with valuable old pieces that have been choosed and cared for by Francesco and his wife themselves.
