This amazing rental villa stands halfway between Florence and Siena, immersed in the marvelous hills and the vineyards of Tuscany – where the sound of nature pervades over silence and privacy. In this oasis of green amidst centuries-old olive trees, it is still possible to experience the life in the countryside of times gone by.
Here the frenetic rhythms of modern life really do leave space to peace and tranquility of a farmhouse in the countryside, where guests can experience the old traditions of Chianti, still unaltered over time, where the relation between man and the earth is still so strong as to be considered a bond not dissimilar from that between family relations.
The villa for rent is a historical building, a hundred-year-old farmhouse completely restored and elegantly renovated yet preserving its original structure with open beam ceilings, brick arches and terracotta floors.
In 10 beautiful bedrooms it can accommodate up to 20 people and is perfect for large groups of friends who want to maintain their privacy or as a venue for events or weddings.
