Apartments in Farmhouse: Facilities & Extras
Outdoor Areas
The residence's outdoor areas are equipped to guarantee all the guests absolute comfort immersed in the tranquility of the Sienese countryside.
All of the residences are surrounded by pleasant outdoor areas and may have a garden and swimming pool, perfect for relaxing and cooling off in the summertime.
The swimming pools are open from 1st March to 30th September.
Some residences are equipped with an outdoor barbecue. Other services: covered parking, information counter.
Medieval/Renaissance Dinners
Clients can request a dinner that re-evokes the atmosphere and customs of the Medieval and Renaissance times.
For this occasion recipes from this period will be served and the waiters and cooks will be dressed accordingly.
During the dinner terracotta tableware will be used, while for silverware you will only have a wooden spoon: it is therefore necessary to use your hands to eat the meat.
But after dining you can wash them in basins filled with water perfumed with rose petals. The raw yuta tablecloth, together with the candles all help to create a truly magical atmosphere. The guests will have the opportunity to wear elegant medieval clothes, exact reproductions of those used by lords of the castles of this historic period.
An example menu:
Starters:
fruit and salad dressed with vinegar and olive oil (vinegar stimulated one's appetite and the fruit initiated digestion right away).
Second Dish:
a poor bean soup linked to the territory, whose recipe is faithfully reproduced.
Third Dish:
Roasted pork shin (1 for each person). In that period it was custom to show off one's wealth to the guests by serving large quantities of meat.
Dessert:
Baked apple chestnut cake with raisins.
The entire meal will be accompanied with gallons of red wine.
Wine Tasting
These encounters are held every week and are designed to offer a course for discovering the world of wine, by proposing the labels of the Niccolai cellar, which offer the best Tuscan products, from Vernaccia di San Gimignano, to Chianti Colli Senesi and the Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.
The wine tasting will be held in the new wine tasting hall in a closer wine farm. All of our guests will be invited to participate.
