Location
Tuscany is known for its stunning countryside, beautiful cities and delicious cuisine. This farmhouse allows guests to enjoy it all. It is located halfway between Siena (40 minutes), famous for its Il Campo square, 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.
The closest airports are Perugia, 1 hour and 15 minutes away and Florence, 1 hour 30 minutes.
