Charming house and village

After a week in the turbulent region of Siena, we arrived in Prata and liked the calm and original atmosphere of the mountain village. We discovered small shops, bar and restaurant so we did not necessarily had to leave the place. The owners, Mario and Odette were very friendly. Mario gave us a lot of good ideas what to visit in the surrounding. Odette opened her well equipped house for us. We felt very welcome, even with our dog. The house is very nice with a lot of stairs that allows privacy. The view from the big terasse is overwhelming. Thank you for the lovely stay.

De très belles vacances dans un endroit magnifique

Notre famille a passé de merveilleuses vacances dans un cadre idyllique. La maison est située dans un village perché sur une colline, tranquille. La vue est imprenable sur les collines toscanes et l'ile d'Elbe au loin. Nous avons profité de la terrasse spacieuse, et de toutes les fonctionnalités de la maison (trois salles de bain). Pour compléter le tableau nos hotes Odette et Mario ont été charmants et serviables. encore un grand merci à eux deux.

Je trouve que l'évaluation de M.me Gaubert, que nous avons été ravis d'accueillir, a bien saisi le caractère particulier de notre maison de Prata, dans ses aspects structurels. We were of course delighted to receive Séverine Gaubert and her family. I find her review especially descriptive of some of the main features of our house: the view, the spacious terrace, the three bathrooms, the tranquillity of the village.

Why they chose this property

This property belonged to my family for the last 170 years. The house is documented since 1650, and stands right on the place of the outer walls of the medieval castle were in the XII-XIII century.
Since the castle dominated the place, a magnificent view can be enjoyed, encompassing most of the Tuscan archipelago (the Islands of Elba, Giglio, Montecristo, the Argentario promontory) and, when visibility is good, even the French island of Corsica.

What makes this property unique

Splendid views and green valleys (with very few houses) reaching down to sea.
