Historic Farmhouse in Tuscany for Families: Your Escape to the Sienese Countryside

Nestled in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, just 10 km from the historic city of Siena, is a charming farmhouse, the perfect place for a rejuvenating holiday. The property lies among centuries-old olive trees, at the foot of the “Montagnola,” a hilly area west of Siena, offering an atmosphere of peace and serenity. It is reached via a picturesque two-kilometers dirt road that crosses a forest dominated by oaks, holm oaks and broom, heralding the isolation and natural beauty of the destination.

On arrival, the rural area reveals itself in a complex of historic buildings, once the beating heart of a farmstead, with peasant houses, stables and barns. Today, these spaces have been meticulously restored: some host private residences, others have been converted into welcoming guest apartments, such as “La Corte,” while others still retain their function as technical rooms supporting the still-active farm. At the centre is a square overlooked by, in addition to some of the rural houses, the imposing manor villa, the ancient church and a characteristic shed.

The Villa, with its 19th-century appearance, preserves clear traces of a rich and complex architectural past. Two arched windows stand out on the first floor, evidence that the entire building rests on the remains of an ancient tower probably dating back to the 12th century. Today, the Villa houses two apartments dedicated to guests, “La Torre” and “La Scala,” each with bedrooms equipped with air conditioning. It also contains the kitchen and laundry, as well as a common area with dining room and terrace, ideal for moments of conviviality and relaxation.

The small church, dating back to the 18th century and now deconsecrated, is a typical feature of villages and fits harmoniously among the ancient parish churches and rural chapels scattered throughout the Sienese countryside. The shed, while maintaining its traditional exterior appearance, has been completely renovated and now constitutes a private residence. The paved farmyard in front, with its almost perfectly preserved brick paving, evokes the past, when it was used by sharecroppers for threshing wheat and celebrating the end of the harvest with dances and festivities.

The east side of the villa opens onto an enchanting garden, surrounded by a high stone wall and accessible both directly from inside the villa and through a gate from the car park. The upper part of the garden hosts small vegetable plots bordered by tuff bricks, a charming path of aromatic plants and some olive trees providing shade, as well as a terracotta-paved terrace perfect for enjoying the view. A row of vines and two pergolas visually and physically separate the upper part of the garden from the lower one, where the refreshing swimming pool is located.

Services and Comfort for Families and Children
This farmhouse is designed to best welcome families with children, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The presence of a swimming pool offers an excellent opportunity for relaxation and play, especially during the warmer months. 

The property also welcomes pets, allowing you to bring your four-legged friends for a complete holiday. The apartments are equipped with air conditioning for maximum comfort in every season and with satellite TV for entertainment. The possibility of using a private barbecue and a shared kitchen facilitates meal preparation, offering flexibility and a more homely experience.

Activities and Experiences in the Sienese Countryside
In addition to relaxing at the farmhouse, the location offers numerous opportunities to explore and experience the most authentic Tuscany. Cooking classes are available to learn the secrets of local gastronomy, an engaging experience for the whole family. 

The large garden and historic farmyard offer safe open spaces where children can play freely, while adults can relax in the shade of the olive trees or on the panoramic terrace. The proximity to Siena (only 10 km) makes it easy to organise day trips to discover the Cathedral, Piazza del Campo and the artistic wonders of the city. The dirt road that crosses the forest invites to walks and nature explorations, perfect for nature lovers and those wishing to disconnect from everyday routine.

Modern Comfort and Services in a Historic Setting
Despite the historic and traditional atmosphere, the farmhouse guarantees all the modern comforts necessary for a pleasant and carefree stay. All bedrooms in the apartments are equipped with air conditioning, ensuring an ideal temperature even on the hottest days. Heating is available for stays in cooler periods, providing a welcoming environment all year round. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, allowing you to stay connected with the outside world or plan excursions.

The bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers and offer complimentary toiletries, with some units also including a bathtub. Each apartment is provided with bed linen and towels with weekly change. Breakfast is a special moment, with simple or international options (sweet and savoury), carefully prepared to start the day in the best way.
