At San Gimignano, in the heart of the countryside between Florence and Siena, the villa and its grounds are aimed to please both tourists and travellers, indeed anyone who wishes to discover and enjoy age-old sensations…
The farmhouse ...A very special farmhouse holiday
Dedicated to suit those who seek exclusive and select places to stay, places in which to rediscover physical and mental well-being, thanks to the silence, intense colours and unforgettable fragrances that only uncontaminated nature can offer.
On a hill overlooking the medieval town of San Gimignano, surrounded by greenery, in an isolated and mysterious corner of the Tuscan countryside, the Torraccia di Chiusi farmhouse offers its guests a family welcome in an environment of uncontaminated beauty.
Situated within the context of an exquisitely renovated ancient villa, the farmhouse offers 7 large and welcoming bedrooms, each with antique furniture and decorated with refined taste.
The renovation of the house involved the use of ecological building methods and equipment aimed to save energy and safeguard the environment. For example, ecological paint and natural fibres were used in the bedrooms.
The farmhouse won first prize for ecological efficiency in a 2005 initiative organised by the Region of Tuscany.
