La Lodola, old farmhouse in Foiano della Chiana

La Lodola is an old farmhouse in Foiano della Chiana, in Tuscany, which dates back to the 1750's.
Its restoration, carried out in several phases, brought life back to a decadent structure, reestablishing in it the atmosphere of the past.
The owners, who are antique dealers, chose to give the interior of the house a rather unusual look, ranging from classical to eclectic, according to the different and suggestive environments of the various rooms.
In particular, each bedroom has a personality of its own, with an equally unique and refined bathroom.
One musn't be surprised if, upon returning for a second visit, the furniture in the rooms has changed, because many of the objects and furnituer is for sale.
The house, which overlooks a beautiful valley in the heart of the Valdichiana area, has an optimal location, as it is easy to reach and not far from many interesting places to visit.
What's more, it is also possible to reach every corner of the world 24 hours a day, by connecting one's computer to the LAN internet network available in each bedroom.
The guest room I, the only one found on the ground floor, is painted in inviting shades of amber and powder blue.
Brightness floods the environment from its windows and doors, illuminating the wrought iron four-poster canopy bed.
A mirror hangs over the small fireplace, reflecting the intimate feeling that the room holds.
The guest room II: this bold, bright room has a late nineteenth-century style, both in its decoration and its furniture.
With lively green-striped walls and a large, elegant walnut-framed bed, this spacious room has an incredibly refreshing and comfortable atmosphere.
Although smaller than the others, the guest room III is in no way less enchanting.
One relishes its furnishings, which include a comfortable queen-size bed and red and black lacquered furniture.
The buff walls and moss green ceiling help to create the intimate atmosphere in this special and restful place.
The suite (guest room IV) is composed of two levels and overlooks the garden, the swimming pool, and the valley beyond.
On the upper level, the sand-colored walls meet an intricately hand-painted grey cornice.
On the first floor, the bathroom is panelled in black marble and has red drapes painted on the walls, a motif which is repeated above in an alcove, which houses a ninetheenth-century bath tub, next to the bed.
The room has a very luxurious decor, yet it retains a feeling of comfort.
With its cheerful, bright atmosphere, this room (guest room V) gives immediately gives one a sense calm and tranquility.
With its refreshing yellow tones and its eighteenth-century style furnishings, one's stay in this peaceful environment is marked by a feeling of relax and repose.
