PRATALE

The Pratale estate receives its guests in two old manors (Pratale I and Pratale II), surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan country-side, with vineyards sloping gently down to wild shrubs, pines and cypress trees. The buildings have been completely restored and are now divided into several independent apartments, all of which have a separate entrance and an open area to enjoy the quietness and the view of the surrounding landscape.
The apartments are provided with central heating for winter time and with all the facilities of modern comfort, yet maintaining the furnishings and spirit of typical Tuscan country houses. At the Fattoria the guests will find a bowling lane, swimming pools for children and for adults (2 swimming pools in Pratale I and 1 swimming pool in Pratale II), laundry service, mountain bikes and Sat-TV.
