Description

This lovely holiday home in Tuscany is located a km from Gallina, a tiny hamlet near Castiglione D’Orcia (at 7 km), on the famous Via Cassia, the ancient Roman road connecting Rome to Florence. Built during the first half of the 20th century, this comfortable stone farmhouse has recently been restored with particular attention in maintaining the traditional Tuscan characteristics. The holiday accommodation consists of five independent self-catering apartments elegantly furnished with antique furniture. Terracotta tile flooring, wooden beam ceilings and hand stained walls remain as vestiges of the typical Tuscan style. Each flat has its own outdoor private area and all guests have access to the swimming pool (12x6 open May-Sept). At guest’s disposal a washing machine, internet wi fi connection, barbecue: the owner produce delicious hand made products.
The farmhouse is surrounded by cereal fields, which change colour every season, whereas huge meadows of poppies, wild orchids and roses offer another kaleidoscope of colours. Walking along the paths close at hand one may have the chance to meet the local fauna that populates the area and from the herb garden one may enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape with the typical colours of the “Crete Senesi”.
Close to Mount Amiata, these holiday apartments for rent in Val D’Orcia are in an ideal position for all those seeking peace and quiet but also a perfect point of departure for cultural and wine-and-food visits to locations such as Pienza (20km), Montepulciano (24km), Monticchiello (18km), Radicofani, Castiglione d’Orcia, San Quirico D’Orcia, Montalcino (25km) and St. Antimo’s Abbey (24km). Also near the thermal waters of Bagno Vignoni (6 km), San Filippo and Chianciano Terme
