This old farmhouse is part of a large agricultural estate in the hills around Siena, and after a long period of renovation, which has beautifully restored the stone-facing, they have created a country home equipped with all modern comforts to satisfy even the most demanding clients. On the ground floor, with two entrances - both from the courtyard and from the side with the swimming-pool - you will find the sport/relaxation area with a gymnasium equipped with various sports equipment and areas for doing aerobics, a Jacuzzi large enough for six people sitting down, the sauna and turkish bath. The bedrooms, each of which has its own bath, are both on the ground floor with independent entrances, and on the first floor, where you will find the large living/dining-room with fireplace and piano (decorative) and the very well-equipped and functional kitchen. The furnishings, too, have been very carefully thought-out in every detail, while maintaining intact all of the rural feeling of the villa. There is a cleaning-service five days a week to be paid at the end of your stay, and on arrangement with reception you can make use of the free food-buying service, of the visit to the wine-cellars on the farm, and of trips in a jeep in the beautiful countryside around the property. In the area around the house a private swimming-pool (6x10m) has been built, and guests may also use a synthetic grass tennis court about 1 km away at the agritourism centre on the same estate. In the old courtyard below the villa they have made an area for dining outside with a wood-burning oven and a barbecue. On request they will provide a typical tuscan cooking service. On the farm you can not only buy a very good chianti wine and extra-vergine olive oil, but you can also organize pony-trekking or make use of an agreement to use the hot-springs at Terme di Rapolano. Monte San Savino, an attractive village known for its production of ceramics, is about 10 kms away. Siena, which is visible on a clear day, is 35 kms away, Florence 80 kms.
