About this property

Agriturismo Le Capanne: organic farm tucked away in the Tuscan hills-apt. Amelia

Apartment Amelia can easily accommodate 4 people. Comfortably renovated, it offers a covered veranda with a wonderful view of the sunset and the nearby faithful fig-tree with its gentle shade. The apartment is accessed by steps and comprises an open plan kitchen and living area, two bedrooms (one double, one twin) both with private bathroom (with shower). The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with oven, fridge and freezer, etc. and is open to the living area which has a traditional fireplace and comfortable sofas. The small terrace area is perfect for dining al fresco or for relaxing in the tranquil surroundings.

Agriturismo Le Capanne organic farm is immersed in the greenery of the Tuscan countryside and ideally located between Florence, Pisa and Siena. You will find yourselves in the heart of the countryside, tucked away in the enchanting hills but, at the same time, just a short drive from some of Tuscany’s most beautiful places such as San Gimignano and Volterra.

Agriturismo Le Capanne was originally our great grandparents’ traditional stone farmhouse. Without sacrificing modern comforts, it maintains the traditions of the past, with the vegetable garden and farmyard animals. At our agriturismo you can deeply inhale the peace offered by Nature. It may not be luxurious here, but there is simple comfort for your health and wellbeing: aromas, landscapes, sounds, tranquillity. Hopefully they will help you reconnect with your inner rhythm and Nature.

The agriturismo contains only three apartments (Maria, Amelia, Andreina) to ensure a comfortable and exclusive holiday. They are fully furnished and each has a fireplace, private outside space and self-contained entrance.
A common area in the ancient heart of the agriturismo is available to read a book, browse our collection of farming and domestic implements that tell the story of country life in Tuscany over the last century (our “farming museum”) or or have a cup of tea.
Upon arrival you will be greeted by our 'organic 0 Km welcome basket'.

Swimming pool (6 m x 12 m, seasonal opening) shared among the guests of the 3 apartments. Availability of extra beds. Barbeque. Private parking. Pets are welcome.
All utilities (electricity, gas, water), linens (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen – change once a week), parking and the use of swimming pool are included in the rate. The tourist tax of 1 euro/per person aged above 13/per day (for a maximum of 6 nights), the initial and final cleaning and the heating are not included.
Our wonderfully rich organic extra virgin olive oil and eco-cosmetics are available to buy.

We deeply value and respect the privacy of our guests but at the same time we are happy to share suggestions and tips about our area and its amenities. Our family house is within a 3 minutes walk of the agriturismo and we are always around in case you need anything or just feel like a chat.

Only 1 Km far, in the tiny village "Iano", there is a restaurant, a grocery and a horse-riding.
In the surrounding area there are several organic farms which sell their products (do not miss the lovely pasta made with old grains!).

From our agritourism you can go for a walk in marvellous woods and landscapes, reaching the ruins of an old village.
Golf green is 6 Km far (Castelfalfi).
Nearest railway station is 18 Km far (Castelfiorentino).
Florence is 65 Km far.
Unmade road of about 1 Km (you need a car to get to our agriturismo).

Rustic Countryside Tuscan Lodging on Generations-Old Family Farm
We stayed in Le Cappane as our Tuscan base for exploring the region, including day trips to Siena, Florence, and San Gimignano. This working farm has been in the family for generations, and you will not meet nicer, more hospitable people in all of Italy! The accommodations were basic, comfortable, and quiet with a lovely swimming pool overlooking the Tuscan hills. Not for the fancy pants or party animals; great for a family or couples looking to escape from the bigger cities and savor the countryside, including hearing the melodies of various chirping birds (and roosters!), seeing wild deer bounding on the property, and enjoying butterflies galore fluttering near the pool. If this sounds like you, Le Cappane is a great place to stay.

Why they chose this property

This property was passed down through the generations of my family. My mother was borne here and I spent the first two years of my life in this wonderful and peaceful place, so special to me.

What makes this property unique

In our agritourism you can deeply breathe the peace offered by Nature. There isn't luxury, but comfort for wellbeing. Aromas, landscapes, sounds, tranquillity. Hopefully they are of help to reconnect with one’s own inner rhythm and nature.
