Villa Valpiana, charming ancient Farmhouse, private Pool - dogs allowed

About Tommaso & Nanette

Buongiorno, we are Tommaso and Nanette, we live in the barn house nearby casa Valpiana and we take care of the Villa with its surroundings. Valpiana was originally an old farmhouse, since 1645 in our family. In the past, even 24 people lived here and worked in the vineyard and in the fields around the house. A few years ago we transformed Valpiana into a holiday-house, saving the original Tuscan atmosphere, while offering all the essential comforts. We are a friendly family with two children, olive groves, oil-milll, vineyard and small winery. We do everything in an organic way out of respect for the nature and the next generations. Tommaso is a wine and olive oil expert and Nanette is the one with green fingers. We both speak English.

Tommaso & Nanette purchased this Farmhouse in 2010
