The units are part of a seventeenth-century hamlet, made up of a noble villa, a church and a cluster of houses surrounded by the splendid Tuscan countryside.


The farming estate covers more than 1000 hectares (2470 acres) in the hills near Siena, in the "Crete Senesi," distinct landscape of almost-lunar clay hills interspersed with green cultivated fields and cypress-lined lanes. You will be in the middle of the most famous and celebrated Tuscan scenery! Every season brings its own hues and beauty.


The farming estate grows organic wheat, extra-virgin olive oil, and cereals for its own livestock, including the famed Chianina cattle breed, which you can enjoy in the farm’s own restaurant (open only to guests of the complex, by reservation).


The villa and the hamlet have been beautifully renovated into comfortable vacation houses, preserving the traditional architectural elements of the stone and brick buildings. There is a reception with staff available for anything you need. At the reception is also available a spacious, welcoming salon with sofas and a fireplace, as well as a computer with internet available for guests’ use.


Each apartment has its own private terrace space, in addition to the ample, tended gardens with tables and seating areas scattered about the estate (shared with other guests). There is a sizable sparkling swimming pool, a tennis court and a well-equipped children's playground, shared with other guests, as well as romantic panoramas to enjoy. Guests appreciate the timeless beauty and tranquility of the estate and the relaxing atmosphere. There’s plenty of space to unwind, read a book and enjoy a glass of local wine at sunset.


Hikers will enjoy the many marked trekking trails that meander around the estate and the nearby countryside and cyclists like the challenge of the hills.

The staff was So helpful - answered all our questions. They provided names of chefs to cook at our villas as well as a contact for side trips. I would HIGHLY recommend Summer In Italy!

The villa is extremely spacious with fabulous garden and pool area
The villa is extremely spacious with fabulous garden and pool area. Location is rural (you need a car) and is very tranquil. Pool is cleaned daily and gardens are well maintained with plenty of seating. The villa is very clean, spacious and well equipped. The villa has its own private entrance and parking area. The hosts are very friendly and extremely helpful. There is a tennis court, beautiful scenery and a small restaurant in the resort. There is a good supermarket (Coop) only approx 10 min drive away. I would recommend this villa for a very relaxing and scenic holiday.
