Climate

A historic stone house behaves differently from a modern city apartment.

Summer

Use the house itself

The thick historic walls help La Novellina remain naturally cooler in summer. During hot days keep windows and shutters closed, then open them in the evening when outside temperatures fall.

Heating

Central heating

Heating is centralized. The temperature can be adjusted using the thermostat near the small wooden library in the living room.

Hot water

Give it a moment upstairs

Hot water is available throughout the house, although it may take longer to reach taps on the upper floor.

Water

Use water thoughtfully

Tuscan summers can be very dry. Please use water thoughtfully, especially during prolonged hot periods.
