A splendid farmhouse on top of a hill overlooking one of the most beautiful landscapes in Tuscany.
Immersed in the vegetation of more than 2,000m of garden, the house is part of a 40 hectare estate noted for its surrounding
relaxing oasis of olive groves, forests and vineyards.
Maintaining its original characteristics, the building has been recently restored to create
6 apartments, 3 bedrooms and one suite. All the apartments have large kitchen/living areas, a bedroom with double bed (many of them with a canopy), bathroom and spacious outdoor private loggia for relaxing. The rooms comprise a double bed, bathroom and outdoor private loggia. The decor has been carefully selected to the last detail, and all the rooms have up to date facilities, for example, air conditioning in both living room and bedroom.
The unforgettable view guarantees a relaxing stay and a sense of wellbeing and tranquillity. Our
large swimming pool is located a few metres from the building in a secluded spot among olive trees and vineyards. The panoramic terrace offers unforgettable sunset views.
Located only few metres from our farmhouse is a
small but cosy restaurant, open at weekends exclusively for our guests. Here
Tuscan specialities can be sampled and the best Tuscan wines enjoyed, as well as all our range of local products, IGT wines and, especially, our extra virgin olive oil. Breakfast (included in the price) is also served here every morning.
The Antica Fornace is about 400m from the small medieval village of Cedri, and less than half an hour from the most famous Tuscan cities such as
Siena, Volterra and San Gimignano, and the coast. The position is ideal for anyone wanting to discover
Tuscany’s most beautiful locations while staying in welcoming and relaxing accommodation.

Many medieval villages are only a few minutes away from the farmhouse, such as Palaia, Libbiano, Lajatico (home of Andrea Bocelli’s famous Theatre of Silence), Pratello, Montelopio, Ghizzano (the church of SS. Annunziata with its 15th century wood sculptures by Nino Pisano!) Chianni, Castelfalfi and Monti – all villages nestling in the natural surroundings of the Tuscan countryside with its ancient villas and cultural heritage.
