Farm Le Capanne di Sopra is located 1.4 kilometers from the medieval village of Montefollonico and is situated to provide panoramic views of the Montepulciano valley.
The property includes two stone farmhouses, each sleeping six, that are surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and woods. A Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG wine and extra virgin olive oil are produced here. Both houses have been restored in accordance with Tuscan traditions and carefully furnished to offer a genuine and cozy atmosphere.
To preserve the rural character of the site the owners chose not to build a swimming pool. However, there are several pools and thermal spas nearby. Both houses and gardens enjoy a marvellous view of the valley with the skyline of Montepulciano to the south, Mount Amiata to the west, and the hill of Montefollonico to the north.
Montefollonico itself provides everything you will need day to day with food shops, post office, bank, pharmacy, restaurants, and bar. Also, check out a number of good local markets at Montepulciano, Sinalunga, Montefollonico and more.
A private drive links the house to the main road ensuring that you will be holidaying in the quiet and undisturbed Tuscan countryside. Le Capanne can be reached in just 30 minutes by auto from the Valdichiana exit of the Rome-Florence Highway.

There are three swimming pools within 10 kilometers and tennis courts, horseback riding and mountain biking are nearby.
