About the host

Hosted by Sandra

Host profile image
After holidaying in Italy for 10+ years, we purchased Casa Ruspiano in 2005. We completely restored the villa and barn during 2007 and more than doubled the available living space. Plus added all features that you would expect of a modern villa without loosing the classic Italian style. Of course to enjoy those long hot Italian summer's we added a large swimming pool too.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location - set in it's own private grounds with stunning views. Also located just 1.5 kms from major town - we can enjoy our stays but also access the daily essentials supermarkets, restaurants, train stations etc with ease.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location. Nearest restaurant 10 mins walk, just 1.5 kms from a major town, 40 mins from the nearest international airport, 40 minutes from Bologna and 60 minutes from Florence - just perfect!
