Location
For visitors who would like to discover the delights of Tuscany, this farmhouse is the perfect location. Set in the hills of Crete Senesi, halfway between Siena (40 minutes), famous for its main square, Il Campo, where the Palio horse race takes place every July and August; and Pienza (45 minutes), which is well worth a visit for its Renaissance palaces, as well as its famous Pecorino cheese.
Wine lovers should not miss the town of Montalcino (40 minutes) where you can taste and buy the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine directly from the producers.
For pure relaxation visit the thermal springs at Rapolano Terme and indulge in a day of spa treatments.
There are excellent restaurants throughout the region, but if guests are keen to cook for themselves, the local markets are not to be missed. Asciano (5 minutes) has a weekly market every Monday.
