Charming ancient watching tower near Montepulciano and Val d'Orcia - Siena

The farmhouse has been completely restored in 2009, according to the principles of bio-architecture; employing building materials such as bricks, slaked lime, wood; walls have been insulated by using cork; the heating system works with bio-masses and solar cells provide hot water. Our hosts will thus enjoy a stay in a healthy structure which takes care for the environment granting at the same time all the comforts required.
The large open areas will allow a holiday in contact with nature and the opportunity of directly following the seasonal works. The swimming pool has been accurately planned to insert it in the rural landscape: this is the reason why it looks like the old local troughs which were often built for cows and sheeps. As well as the large pool 12 mt. long, there is a small one with shallow water, sittings and a little waterfall which is especially appropriate to relax. Decks chairs and sun umbrellas offer the guests comfortable seats to sunbathe and relax.

The farmhouse borders on a nature park in the Val d'Orcia, at Castelluccio di Pienza. Its location offers a panoramic view of two natural reserves: Pietraporciana and Lucciolabella. From the pool, nestled in an olive grove, guests enjoy a marvelous view of the entire valley. Organic farming methods, offering fruit, vegetables, extra virgin olive oil.
Near the spas of Chianciano and Bagno Vignoni.
The structure of the farmhouse is complex, its oldest part consisting in the ancient tower that guarded Castelluccio. From the windows of the residence guests may enjoy a magnificent view of the entire Val di Chiana, and from the road into a lush park of the Val d'Orcia guests may catch sight of Monte Amiata.
The farmhouse was totally renovated in 2009 in bioarchitecture style (bricks, lime putty, wood, terracotta, and cork). Heating from biomass systems and solar energy.
The farmhouse extends over 54 hectares along the hills between the Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana and uses certified organic farming methods. The olive and fruit trees (970 olive trees and 280 fruit trees) surround the villa and are located on a vast plain surrounded by fields, forests, and broom-covered furrows. Spacious outdoor areas where guests may enjoy direct contact with nature or take part in seasonal farming activities. The pool (June–mid-October) is perfectly part of the landscape, thanks to a careful use of materials and the shape of the pool that calls to mind old troughs. In addition to the pool (12 m long), there is another pool suited to relax, with low water, chairs, and small waterfall. Lounge chairs and umbrellas also offered. On a plain, under the shade of old maple trees, there is a large table and barbecue for meals outdoors, where to cook meat and seasonal vegetables.
From here you may reach the natural reserves of Pietraporciana and Lucciolabella, the towns of Monticchiello and Castiglioncello sul Trinoro, and the loveliest sites in the Val d'Orcia.
