The farmhouse (10 beds), which has recently been renovated maintaining the original beamed ceilings, terracotta-tiled floors and brick archways, leans against a hill between Montepulciano and Pienza, in Val d`Orcia, in the province of Siena. A magnificent terraced garden surrounds the farmhouse, which commands the typical Tuscan hills, covered with olive groves, vineyards, pines and cypresses. The farmhouse is provided with a private swimming pool, situated on the upper terrace, where there is also a paved and partially covered area equipped with sunloungers, table sitting eight people and built-in kitchen unit with barbecue, sink and fridge. Provided with all comforts (dishwasher, washing machine, satellite TV with DVD player, heated towel rails, Internet connection, heating system and ceiling fans in the bedrooms), the farmhouse is an excellent starting point for trips to San Quirico d`Orcia, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza, the abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore and Siena, of course.
