It has a view of the vegetation and of the hills. The house is part of a farmhouse which covers 20 hectares (50 acres) where you will find six apartments. The guests of the farmhouse share the gardens, two swimming pools, a tennis court, the olive grove, the vineyard and the wood. The house has a parking lot. Casa Bonaventura has three bedrooms. One bedroom has a double bed, the other two have two single beds. There is a large living room with fireplace and cooking area, two bathrooms with shower, and a reserved area in the garden where you will find a table, a beach umbrella, chairs and deck chairs. It is located at the first floor of a nice and ancient stone house, which is part of a tiny historical burg made up by four buildings. The buildings are connected by terracotta pathways and surrounded by lawns and flowerbeds. This tiny burg is just at 1 km (approximately half a mile) from the small medieval village of Montaione. In past ages the four buildings were used to grow the olive grove and the vineyard. They have been carefully restored and transformed into holiday homes in a way that keeps the atmosphere and the charm of the ancient Tuscan farm houses. The walls of the houses have the warm pink and orange colors of the stone and of the terracotta, which stand against the green of the very well looked-after lawns that surround them. The lawns are broken here and there by thriving rose bushes, groups of irises and slender dark green cypresses. From every observation point in the burg your sight will embrace a wide horizon of gentle and wavy hills, some of them decorated at the top by bunches of houses, clenched around a watch tower or a bell tower. It is a splendid view upon one of the most beautiful and history-rich territories of Tuscany, among San Gimignano, Volterra and Florence. A short pathway among the flowers will take you to the area where you will find a swimming pool for adults and a swimming pool for children. The swimming pools are equipped with shower and solarium, as well as with beach umbrellas and deck chairs. All around there is only vegetation, trees and view of the hills. The swimming pool for adults is 14 x 7 meters (46 x 23 feet), 1 meter to 2.5 meter deep (3 to 8 feet deep). The swimming pool for children is 7 x 2.5 meters (23 x 8 feet), 50 cm deep (1.5 feet deep). They are open from Easter until the beginning of October. You will be able to buy locally olive oil and wine made by the owners, and there is also a small vegetable garden where you will be able to pick up free of charge the season produce. The owners live on the premises, and they will be happy to answer questions and give you information. You will reach Casa Bonaventura climbing approximately 20 steps of an external stone stairway, at the top of which there is a graceful small covered loggia. You will enter the living room, where there is a nice fireplace, a sitting area equipped with satellite television and telephone, a large dining table and a cooking area. A divan bed provides two sleeping places. From the living room you will be able to enter the bedroom with a double bed, which has an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Descending a couple of steps you will reach the two other bedrooms, each of which has two single beds. Next to these two bedrooms there is the second bathroom, with a shower. All the rooms have windows with an agreeable view of the vegetation. The furnishing is in the characteristic style of the Tuscan countryside: the floors are tiled with terracotta tiles, the ceilings are made of wood beams and terracotta flat tiles, the furniture is made of wood, in a rustic style. The rooms are decorated with objects of the country life. Everything is graceful, well-kept and welcoming. The kitchen is well equipped, as well, with four-burner cooker, oven, refrigerator with freezer, dishwasher coffee maker and Italian-style coffee maker. As a guest of Casa Bonaventura you will have a reserved corner of the garden, hidden from the view by hedges and flowered pots of Geraniums, and with a nice view of the hills. Here there have been arranged a wooden table with a beach umbrella, chairs, deck chairs and a small barbecue. You will be able to organize your outdoor meals “al fresco”, and you will have first-row seats in front of a magnificent view of the Tuscan countryside. The villa is equipped with central heating and it has a direct phone line. A broadband Internet connection is available for your laptop at no charge through a standard Ethernet port. Wood for the fireplace and a shared laundry room are also available. You will be able to rent bicycles and scooters, and join guided mountain bike trips. Casa Bonaventura is at approximately 1 km (half a mile) from Montaione, where you will find shops and restaurants.

In the medieval hamlet of Montaione be sure to visit the church of San Regolo, where the “Madonna del Buon Consiglio” (school of Cimabue, XIII century) is kept, the Palazzo Petrorio, with its Natural History Museum, and, just out of the center, the chapel of the Santissima Annunziata, with a remarkable fresco painting of the seventeenth century. Around Montaione there is also a large number of burgs and cities to be visited. Besides the famous cities of art, Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca, which can be reached in a one-hour drive, close by you will find the medieval burgs of San Gimignano, Volterra and San Miniato. Do not forget to visit the monastic complex of “San Vivaldo”, with its “Sacro Monte”, located at only 5 km (3 miles) from Montaione. It represents, with its series of small chapels, a scaled down version of Jerusalem as it was at the time of the Crusades. The closest train station is Castelfiorentino, at 10 km (6 miles).
