Villa / Farmhouse / Home in Barberino Val D'Elsa with 3 Bedrooms Sleep

Fattoria Quercia al Poggio was once a rural village home to a small community of farm workers consisting of around 10 families, first share croppers then dependants of the estate. Vallombrosan monks also resided here until two centuries ago. At that time, the village was truly self sufficient: shepherds, farmers and woodcutters exchanged their goods and the remainder was then sold at the market. Today the owners have converted the village to offer guests the chance to enjoy a truly relaxing stay immersed in the Tuscan countryside. They personally follow each phase of the wine-making process in order to achieve a quality wine, sold both locally and internationally, to satisfy lovers of a genuine Chianti Classico. <b>The property is composed by 2 main parts: the apts "Cappella" with pool of mts 12x22 and about 400 mt far from these, the apartments "Proneta" with pool of mts and 7x14. The pools are open from the last week of May till the last week of September.</b>. Our staff are delighted to welcome you and provide all the assistance you may require during your stay. Aside from the 2 stunning swimming pools, there is also a tennis court for our guests's use ( also used as a volleyball court or five-a-side football pitch) and a games room with billiards, ping pong and table soccer.
