Welcoming farmhouse in Tuscany with fabulous designer decoration

For over 12 years I”ve been scouring Italy in search of the perfect agriturismos. Authentic on the outside, modern inside, located in a nice environment and of course with friendly owners. 

Places where I”d like to spend my  own holiday and which I can therefore recommend to my customers with confidence. These places are not easy to find. But sometimes you get lucky and you just suddenly discover a beauty of an agriturismo. Such is the case with this agriturismo. 

I was welcomed by the friendly owner who lives on the property together with her husband. She told me that her husband is an interior designer, hence the magnificent interiors of the apartments! Very special is the view you have from the agriturismo of a nearby castle. I was there during the day but at night it must be wonderful when the castle is illuminated.

When I was there the agriturismo had just opened a few months before and full of enthusiasm the owners make sure their guests are enjoying their stay. The agriturismo is located in a quiet area, but still pretty close to Florence. You can drive to the city in 20 minutes or near the agriturismo you can take the train to Florence. Also Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo are easily and quickly accessible from the property. Shopaholics can indulge in a sumptuous designer outlet, only 5 minutes away.

Swimming pool and restaurant

The agriturismo has a large and splendid swimming pool with sun loungers, parasols, an indoor lounge terrace and a playground. In summer, the owners organise an aperitif with dinner in the former cellar once a week. All guests of the agriturismo can sign up for this, and I can really recommend it! They prepare the most delicious Tuscan cuisine with purely local products and vegetables from the vegetable garden. There’s a washing machine at guests’ disposal and free wifi is available on site.

The apartments

The agriturismo has four apartments, three on the ground floor and one on the first floor. All apartments have aprivate terrace or garden with table, chairs and parasol or pergola and grill. The furnishing of the apartments is very tasteful, in a modern yet homely country style, with warm colours. The kitchens are equipped with dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator with freezer. There is no air conditioning in the apartments, but a ventilator.

In short

This is a beautiful agriturismo with very tastefully furnished apartments. Very friendly owners who will do everything to make sure their guests have a wonderful holiday in Tuscany. The property is centrally located and the main Tuscan cities are all easily accessible. A real winner and at a good price!
