Le Docce farm holiday resort rises on the enchanting estate of the same name, on a hill in the heart of Tuscany that gently descends toward Castelfiorentino. It lies at the border between Florence, Pisa and Siena, not far from other towns of scenic, historic, and cultural importance such as San Gimignano, Certaldo and Volterra.
The estate is part of the farming enterprise run by the Ciampalini family that has cultivated the land in this part of the countryside for centuries. The family renovated the estate and converted it into a farm holiday resort, preserving the typical features of the original rural buildings and characteristic Tuscan crops.

The farmhouse and barn dominate the summit of the hill and have been restructured to obtain five apartments for our guests. Beyond the apartments there is a delightful reception area, a swimming pool that offers a superb, sweeping view from San Gimignano to the Apuan Alps, a large park with picnic tables and barbecues, a lawn bowling field and mountain bike trails.
Le Docce is a ‘real’ farm holiday resort, where guests can truly ‘live’ a country lifestyle. Guests can take advantage of leisure time to take part in seasonal activities carried out at the farm such as the pruning of olive trees and grapevines and, later on in the year, the olive and grape harvests.
One can take long walks or bike rides along the Francigena, the old road that once led to France, winding up among gentle slopes covered with vineyards, olive trees and woods; admiring the old farm houses that dot the land, beautiful centuries old plants and several bird species.
At the estate it is possible to taste and purchase oil and wine produced from surrounding cultivation. Moreover, guests can enjoy the many services offered by Le Docce that will make their stay even more pleasant.
