The property includes a cluster of four houses that once served as a stopping place on the ancient salt road (there's still a trace of the road in the path which goes by the pool) as well as approximately 10 hectares (20 acres) of land, including four hectares of vineyards, an olive grove, a stand of cypress trees, meadow and woods. When we bought the farm in 1994, it was semi abandoned and the buildings were in terrible disrepair. Since then we have dedicated ourselves to restoring them as closely as possible to their original form, using only local and environmentally compatible materials and personally supervising every phase of the restoration down to the last details.
We have now finished restoring three of the four buildings of the original settlement: we live in the largest where we have obtained also an apartment for our guests furthermore we've made two apartments out of the second, the former storehouse. The third, once a barn, we've converted into another apartment. We added also a large swimming pool to the complex
This year, we can offer our guests four completely restored apartments.Two of them are in the former storehouse: one, “la Cantina” is on the ground floor and the other, “il Forno” is above the former baking area, both with lovely views of the vineyard. A third apartment, “la Capanna” is in what was once a small cottage and is completely separate from the others.
At last "la Piazzetta", a two floors apartment that belongs to the main building.
All the apartments are very well maintained and elegantly appointed. They combine modern conveniences with furnishings typical of rural Tuscany to ensure a relaxing and enchanting vacation.
