 Located
at the foot of the mountains of Pistoia,
surrounded by 30.000 square meters of trees with typical olive-grove
from Tuscan hills, here it is the ancient "Villa
Cappugi", built at the end of the XVII century. It has
the name of "Cappugi" a noble family of Pistoia
that built the country-house and owned it till 1987, year
in which it was bought by the actual owner, who has rebuilt
it, restoring its original beauty: the "cotto fiorentino"
floors, the vaulted ceiling with fresco paintings,
the attic with secular beams at sight. The main hall in the
ground-floor is used for special events like congresses, cultural
events, banquets, dance parties. Still in the ground floor
the bar (which doesn't serve alcoholics) serves both the country-side
and external sport facilities. Next to the bar, a little hall
where breakfast is served, with an ancient marble fireplace
perfectly preserved. On the opposite side, still next to the
bar, a little hall with a big rustic fireplace
refined with beams and a big television featuring satellite
channels. The ancient hayloft and the farmhouse adjoining
to the country-house is now an elegant and comfortable restaurant,
rebuilt preserving the original architecture.
