Set on a working wine-growing estate, the Agriturismo Monsummano is located approximately 40 km from Florence with other cultural towns
and cities, including Pistoia, Lucca, Pisa and Siena, also close by. The beach is also within easy reach, just 45 km away. The nearest town,
Monsummano, is less than 4 km away where you will find the famous Terme Grotta Giusti. Also nearby is the medieval town of Vinci
where Leonardo da Vinci once lived. The Montecatini Golf Club (18-holes) is just 1 km away.
Situated in the heart of the Chianti wine region and surrounded by vineyards and endless rows of the "Chianti Montalbano" grapevine, as well as
approximately 3 hectares of olive groves, the old estate house has been fully refurbished and there is a large garden with oak trees
and a swimming pool 6x12 m. The garden is completely enclosed ( see pictures below), ideal for families with small children and dogs.
There is also a shaded outdoor parking area available.

In front of the house is a terracotta paved terrace, semi- covered and shaded with 2 large umbrellas with tables and chairs at guests disposal. On the ground floor of the house there is a 2-room and a 3-room apartment.

A central staircase leads upstairs to 2 further exact apartments. All the apartments are furnished to a high standard with terracotta tiled floors, tiled bathrooms
and dark rustic wooden doors and windows. There is also a laundry room available and a barbeque area in the garden. The accommodation is without board.

TERME AND WELLNESS:
Grotta Giusti, Terme Grotto
http://www.grottagiustispa.com/deu/t_thermal_grotte.htm
The Agriturismo Monsummano is less than 4 km away from the world famous "Grotta Giusti".
Special entrance prices have been arranged for our guests!
Grotta Giusti Terme is one of nature's gifts!
The temperatures rise the further one descends into Grotto. From the entrance to the deepest part of the grotto one
passes through 3 very different rooms,
each with its own traditional name, "Paradiso", "Purgatorio" and "Inferno" .
In Limbus there is a small pool which has a constant water temperature of 36°C (in winter and in summer). Even the air
temperature differs only slightly from season to season, from approx. 31°C to max. 34°C, and in the deepest part
of the caves the humidity reaches almost 100%. The air pressure is reasonably constant in all the grotto rooms. A natural,
but still not fully clarified process allows proper air circulation creating a pleasant and endurable atmosphere for
visitors to enjoy their stay. The steam and vapours rising from the thermal baths are very healthy for the body and its
organisms due to the high mineral content of the water which stimulate an overall feeling of well-being.
In the 19th century Giuseppe Verdi proclaimed the Terme-Grottos as the eighth wonder of the world and today visitors are
still fascinated by them. The grotto was discovered in 1849 when workman, who were digging on the grounds belonging to the family
Giusti, came across hot steam rising from the earth. They immediately continued digging further until the caves were discovered, a hidden grotto.
The moderately warm temperatures of the water lead instantly to ideas and theories for the use of the source for medical purposes. Today,
as back then, the grotto filled with its stalagmites and stalactites has a very special atmosphere. A different world in which visitors
move between the secret shadows and the unreal stillness and warmth of the caves, Paradies, Purgatorium and Inferno. On your
journey through the grotto the temperatures rise slowly until you reach the depths at 34 C°. This allows the body to slowly adjust and adapt to
the environment and enables you to prolong your stay, for example a good 50 minutes duration stay in the steam baths helps release
all the impurities and strains from our bodies. The terme centre, as it is today, is a result of continual innovation and modernism,
constantly adapting to the changes in our lifestyles. What will always remain, however, is the nucleus, the heart ; the thermal grotto.
Along with the thermal steam baths in Grotta Giusti, there is also a range of treatments and therapies available, including fango-therapy,
an ozone pool with thermal water, a thermal exercising pool, massages, inhalation treatments, as well as a range of individual
treatments all carried out by highly qualified staff under the supervision of medical specialists.
The beauty and cosmetic institute, with its own laboratories and research centre, completes the range of treatments offering new
Avantgarde - therapies.
Why not give yourself a real opportunity to pamper and revive yourself and make your vacation a truly relaxing and
replenishing experience!!
