The Casa Vacanze Le Fornaci is based on the old structure which hosted the Baglioni furnace for three hundred years, up to the second world war. A square of handmade bricks at the heart of the structure gives prominence to the bare stone of the surrounding wall, which slopes down into a wide park. The furniture is composed by refurbished and renewed materials from the ancient furnace.
The structure is located in a strategic geographical position: the holiday home is within 50 km from the most beautiful cities of Tuscany, like Firenze, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona and from the smaller but not less fascinating burgs and towns like Il Borro, Loro Ciuffenna, Gropina; Civitella, La Verna, Assisi, Poppi, Anghiari, Monteriggioni and many others.
