Vacation Rental Description
Benvenuto.
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to La Simpatica. Our house nestles in the castello area of a medieval village called Codiponte near in the comune of Casola, Tuscany. Our village dates back to medieval times,and we believe La Simpatica is around 400 years old.
La Simpatica is perfect for romantic getaways with tranquillity in stunning settings or the more adventurous type of people enjoy walking/hiking the mountainous regions of Tuscany with some of the most spectacular scenery. Our house is a wonderful “get away from the routine” place where relaxation happens naturally.
There are hundreds of walks around and about with some some fantastic lakes that you can swim in/picnic by, or to just chill out by. Then of course there is the food and wine, try out the Ristorante and Agriturismi for some of the absolutely finest home cooked food and the local vino.
Behind the house you will find a small piazza where the local villages hold there festivities and the local communal drinking water tap.
Parking is availble in the car park below the houses. Access to this via an unmade road from the village.
