Agritourismo = Farmhouse
The farm (300 ha) consists of several locations:
First The estate with some smaller apartments, pool (not yet operational in April), office, restaurant (2x per week)
Second Several former farm worker houses scattered in a radius of 800 m.
Our apartment was in a house, which was about 800 meters away from the farm on a hill with a magnificent view. The apartment (1st floor) was pre-heated, very clean, simple and functional with local design including fireplace (used 1x, Carla Wood a time). The living room consisted of kitchen with gas and electric stove, oven and refrigerator Eisschrankkombi. Facilities: large dining table, sofa and chair, dresser with TV. Everything is large enough.
Three bedrooms (nice but not luxurious furnishings), simple, good beds (not saggy). We slept well.
The bathroom is spacious, simple and functional. Only the water pressure is a bit flabby (fundamental phenomenon in It).
Service:
The manager Carla was very helpful and always there when something needed to be established. She also takes care of the wine and oil sales, the reservation for the farm restaurant and are always helpful tips for trips. Upon arrival, you receive the same a few copied maps. Communication in English.
The situation:
The main town of Colle di Val d'Elsa is about 3 kilometers. The estate is situated on a hill with views in every direction (in clear weather to San Gimignano). The wind umstreicht it and it has plenty of space around it. The road is a little traffic circle road in good condition. From there you can reach quickly the following locations:
San Gimignano (20 min), Volterra (30 minutes), Siena (25 min), Florence (60 minutes), Pisa (120 min)
Special features:
Sales of olive oil, wine and sausages from our own production.
Courtyard restaurant open on 2 days (. 20 € / pers 5-course meal, yummy). Be sure to book!
Conclusion: Highly recommended accommodation.
