Podere Erta, 5/1, Monteguidi 53031 Casole d'Elsa (Siena)
Near Casole d'Elsa, in a corner of the countryside where animals live free and people rediscover symbiosis with nature, the farmhouse has been renovated in line with traditional local architecture.
The farm produces an excellent wine, free from chemical additives, and cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil, aromatised with rosemary or chilli. Tomatoes, artichokes, onions, courgettes and other vegetables are grown in the vegetable garden using eco-friendly methods. Guests can therefore sample tomato sauce, onion chutney, fig and blackberry jam and other products.
The 3 apartments all have bathroom, masonry kitchen, period furniture and mainly artisanal accessories; the floors, arched ceilings, wooden beams and colours of the rooms re-evoke the past. The Rosa apartment has 2 double bedrooms, a sitting room and a garden for delicious meals in the shade of the jasmine. Geranio boasts wall decorations and has a double bedroom, a sitting room with two single beds and access to the garden where guests can sip a glass of fine wine. Lavanda is a charming and romantic one-room apartment.
The swimming pool, open from May to September, is set amidst rose bushes and olive trees. The terrace of the agriturismo is the ideal place for dining as you admire the sun set behind the hills.
The rural tradition gains expression in the authentic dishes offered by the restaurant; the basement lounge, created following the renovation of the old pig shed, has been enhanced by a fireplace and furnished exclusively with typical country materials. There is still the original wood fire oven, which is used today to bake the tasty “Pizza di Varno”.
