Agritourism

As the first farm that   once   began   the    Agritourism activity,  we are  today certainly more than satisfied  that other    farmers    followed    our example with such enthusiasm. It is not easy to put in words which feelings  a holiday in our farmhouse will awake in somebody,  completely  absorbed by the silence of our country, surrounded by a magical panorama,  result of the work of generations of  farmers,  that  preserve  numerous  thermal springs and art cities.
In case you should be interested, you are most welcome to  participate  at some agricultural works (e.g. harvest of the grapes and olives). Alternatively,  you could do also nice walks or biking tours, simply  relax or go to visit all the beautiful cultural treasures in the surroundings.
Nearby our farmhouse you will find a lot of interesting places,  that   are easy to reach:
Monticchiello, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Bagno     Vignoni,    Chiusi, Cortona, Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Perugia, the Crete Senesi,    the Trasimeno lake and the Amiata mountain.
Furthermore there will be a lot of  important  and   folkloric   events   all during the year like: the”Teatro Povero di Monticchiello” (“poor theatre of      Monticchiello”),       the       “Cantiere         Internazionale       Dell’ Arte” (International Art  weeks  of  Montepulciano),   the   Orcia   Valley   Festival, the  Thrasching  Feast  in Buonconvento,  the  Cheese   Fair  in Pienza, the Palio in Siena, etc..
Lovers of the museum will find a big selection of  interesting    museums: Archaeological Museum in Chiusi,  Museum   of   the   Sharecropper   in Buonconvento, the Terra-Cotta Museum in Petroio, the   Archaeological Museum in Murlo, the Museum of the   Traditional   Tuscan   Theatre in Monticchiello.I highly suggest you also a visit to the wine cellars  of  the city   center   in Montepulciano.
For more than 10 years we are now offering to  our  guests   ample    and comfortable apartments to reasonable prices.  The  furnishing,  which  is partly composed of antique Tuscan furniture is essential and complete.
Every living room has a kitchenette, color TV  and all bathrooms  have a shower, a  hair  dryer  and   different   cosmetic   articles   (some   of   the apartments are also equipped with a washing machine).
Our linen for the kitchen, the bathrooms and the bedrooms stay  at  your full disposal during your vacation and will be  changed  every   week,   if your stay should be longer than a week. We are open   all  the  year   and accept according to arrangement  also  clients  that  are  travelling  with dogs or cats.
Spoken languages are English and French.
In case you would like to explore our region by doing a  bike   tour,   feel free to make use of our mountain bikes (no charge). Also if   you   should take delight in trying yourself as an archer we will be pleased to  provide you with all the necessary equipment.
The heating of the apartments is already included in the rate and  we  do not charge you any other additional costs.
Our prices are all through the year the same and vary  from  65,00   Euro to 80,00 Euro for 2 persons, per day or rather from 95,00 Euro to  120,00 Euro for 3 or 4 persons, per day; dependant on the type of apartment you should choose..
