The Palpable joy of stepping out in the light is in itself a golden, sunny, sensual, unique experience when you are spending time in southern Tuscany. This extraordinarily beautiful stretch of Italy sits between Rome and Florence with open, breathtaking views to the Mount Amiata, the unchanged profiles of the hills that we admire in the old master Tuscan paintings. San Casciano dei Bagni is an unspoiled medieval village, beautiful, and rather well kept secret south of Siena. It lies less than one hour drive from Perugia airport and 1 1/2 from Rome and Florence airports. Helipads are available nearby.

The old Roman spa - from which the village derives its name - has just been refurbished offering a natural hot water pool, beauty and health treatments. There are superb events in the nearby cities, but the real secret beauty lies in the old Roman roads with no traffic taking you to medieval magical towns, full of visual beauty.

La Scuola is walking distance from San Casciano dei Bagni medieval "Piazza", still totally private and secluded.

"La Scuola" a 7-bedroom with bathrooms en suite house has been designed with the new millennium mood of spiritual relaxation in mind, where harmonious surroundings are combined with all the technical communication requirements that are today important. La Scuola is the spontaneous solution for people looking at alternative places offering a sophisticated way of life and real comforts.

There is a houseman that looks after the house and a garden/pool boy taking care of the outdoors. Cook, extra help and cars with drivers can be arranged on demand.

The interior design is impeccable: crisp, white sheets, comfortable specially designed sofas, long wonderful tables to eat or work, crockery, plates, glasses to enable entertaining 24 people. Lighting on dimmers everywhere and a lot of lanterns to light up the already splendourous starry nights.

There is a choice of bedrooms: with two single or one double beds, some upholstered, some old 19th century 4-posters all with bathrooms en suite.

La Scuola houses a stunning small collection of Indonesian art, and throughout there is a feeling of well-being, peace and health in harmony with the universe!

The House Provides:
6 Bedrooms, with bathrooms en suite, one staff bedroom/bathroom, a large double volume living/dining room with fireplace, media wall with large TV, ISDN line, and music system. An outdoor terrace to work, eat, or relax. There is an outdoor swimming pool, an optional cook can prepare lunch or dinner.
