The name Le Terme (the word Terme means 'spa') comes from the warm, natural waters that gush from a spring on the property. An attractive swimming pool and changing rooms have been built to make the most of the thermal waters which are at a constant 28°C, whatever the season.
More than a thousand years ago, those waters brought monks to settle and meditate here — the origins of the house go back many centuries. The villa has recently undergone extensive renovations and has every modern convenience, though its typical Tuscan style has been in no way compromised. Lying in two acres of its own, very pretty grounds, within a larger farm estate, Le Terme is an ideal sanctuary for those in search of peace and relaxation.
