Outdoor living at Cucule Apartment in Tuscany
Terrace: large private terrace at the front and side of the apartment is comfortably furnished for dining and lounging; perfect for leisurely ‘al fresco’ meals or napping on a sun-lounger soaking up the Tuscan sunshine.
It’s a great spot to enjoy the surrounding aromatic garden of lavender and santolinas together with the many species of butterflies that are drawn to them all summer long…
….or to simply gaze at the surrounding views; in the evening you might be lucky enough to spot a family of wild boar or barking deer as they graze in the valley below….
…at night the star lit sky is probably as light pollution free as you can find any where in Europe and a real joy when coupled with the sounds of nightjars and tawny owls.
Swimming pool: 15m x 5.50m and 2.40m at the deep end; great for swimmers who want to exercise and have fun diving, and ideal too for those who just want to cool off and relax. The pool area is furnished with an umbrella, wooden loungers and a fresh spring-water shower.
The soft grey liner and natural local stone edging set the pool discreetly into the hillside olive grove while the infinity edge provides a sensational experience as you swim looking out over the wonderful, totally unspoilt, wooded landscape, wildlife pond and river below.
It is shared only with us, the owners, and only one of us swims! So, you have it to yourselves most of the time.
