La Leopoldina 6

La Leopoldina is a 19th century Tuscan farmhouse, located in the hamlet of Giuncarico in the Grosseto Maremma, rich in the history and evidence of the period having been completely renovated by recuperating the original materials such as the terracotta floors, the characteristic exposed ceiling beams, the doorsteps and the stone walls. The interiors are bright, the furnishings reflect the eclectic taste of the owners who have managed to create a blend of classic and modern. The house has practical French windows that allow access to the surrounding park, with views of the verdant landscape with the Morellino vineyards below, that contains the beach pool and the pond with water lilies.
