Villa Il Colletto is a renovated barn in the countryside outside Montelupo Fiorentino - a town on the immediate outskirts of Florence and so famous for its ceramics that it's called "The Town of Ceramics".

This charming, quaint Tuscan building,surrounded by olives and cypress trees covers 100 square meters, and can sleep up to six.

With a 360� panoramic view from a green and quiet hillside, the barn gives spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside and provides a swimming pool with hydromassage.

Il Colletto is the ideal place for anyone who wants a mix of art, history and relaxation in rural Tuscany. The house has a beautifully light, colourful and fully equipped kitchen with the latest conveniences.

There are two double bedrooms with double antique iron beds and two bathrooms with cabin showers. Upstairs there is an open-plan upper gallery with a large sitting room with two sofas (one is a sofa bed for two people), equipped with Satellite TV, DVD player, stereo with CD player, books, a fireplace with firewood and an antique Tuscan chest of drawers.

The original architectural details have been preserved and incorporated into a new, elegant and comfortable design. The barn has been restructured using traditional materials: local stone,exposed wooden beams and Florentine terracotta floors, giving a touch of simple elegance.
