About The Experience

In the Chianti countryside, with a lush garden and natural stream running through the property, this spacious, beautifully renovated farmhouse in Tuscany was once a mill in the 15th century and today, its rustic charm offers comfort, spectacular views, and privacy. Farm holidays in Tuscany mean that you’re in a perfect location for day trips throughout the region, including the medieval town of Siena, which is only 15 minutes away by car. After a day of sightseeing, it is pure bliss to return to this Tuscany accommodation for an afternoon of relaxation with a glass of local wine, a swim in the private pool, a meal in the outdoor barn, or a stroll in the beautifully landscaped garden, where all you’ll hear are the sounds of nature.
