Practical

Living Here A While

For people staying a month, a season, or working from the hill.

Some guests come for a week. Some come and then rearrange their year. If you are thinking about a long stay — a month in the off-season, a winter of writing, a base between contracts — this is what the practicalities look like.

The practicalities

What works, and what is coming

AIR CONDITIONING — forward-commitment rule. This sentence states the installation, not an availability season, and must not appear in any amenity list, OTA amenity field or search filter until it is installed and working.

Winter

The off-season is the better product

Wood fires in stone fireplaces, the jacuzzi steaming among the olive trees on a cold clear morning, truffle season in the hills, fewer people on the roads, and a version of Tuscany most visitors never see.

A walking circuit around the estate is being cut this winter. When it is finished we will tell you how long a lap is.

Deep winter: fire, mist in the valley, bare vine. The photography window v9 already schedules.
