オリーブの木立の真ん中にあるプール付きの美しい石造りの家

The extinct vulcano "Monte Amiata" and its surroundings are very special. For people who are in search for rest and for nature lovers this part of Tuscany is a dream. It is a place where it feels like the clocks tick a little slower. Tourism hasn´t overrun yet the medieval villages. The Tuscan people have formed an incredibly beautiful landscape mosaic. This is one of the reasons why the valley "Val D´Orcia" became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. Wonderful little towns like Montalcino or Montepulciano offer wine tasting in hidden cellars and narrow streets. The famous sheep´s milk cheese "Pecorino" can be tasted and purchased in Pienza (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Beside culinary consumption you can relax in thermal baths (Saturnia, Bagno Filippo). On "Monte Amiata" you also find a charming region for winter sports from December until February with 12 ski lifts and 13 km slopes.

Podere Fortunato is located in the middle of the olive grove on a gentle hillside but only 3 km from the small town of "Seggiano". The little village offers a bar, two restaurants and a supermarket. More shops and facilities can be found in "Castel del Piano" which is about 20 min. by car. Around the house you can enjoy the sun at any time of the day. The south-west location allows an unforgettable view of the sunset in the Tuscan hills every day.
