Overview
Podere Ripa is a very well renovated country house just outside San Casciano dei Bagni, a very charming medieval village located in southern Tuscany, 20 minutes drive from the highway (Rome-Florence) and the rail station of Chiusi (Intercity trains to Rome or Florence-Milan). The village has fine restaurants, shops, banks, pharmacy, etc.
This is an unspoilt part of Italy, recently being discovered by those who enjoy and appreciate it’s quiet beauty, central location between Rome and Florence and its flourishing artistic and social life. The local ancient Roman Spa (Centro Termale Fonteverde), after undergoing an 8 year, $ 40 million renovation and development program, is one of the most appealing health farms in Europe. It now provides various hot spring water pools (indoors and outdoors) and any kind of health and beauty treatments.
The annexed Hotel Terme de Medici, with its restaurants, bars, boutiques, and huge terraces with views, is worth a visit. A tennis court is available on request. Ripa has been gorgeously restored by it’s owners in a polished and stylish manner with every comfort in mind while retaining the beautiful antiquity of the beamed ceilings, tiled floors, and original stone. One can lose oneself in the “million” mile views over the Tuscan countryside.
