The property is easily accessible via an unpaved road in excellent condition (approx. 1 km) and has all necessary services in the nearby village (3 km; 5'). Other historic Tuscan towns (San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, Siena...) can be reached in about an hour's drive, while the coast (Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi...) is less than an hour and a half away.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms) is a two-story building, the result of the reconstruction of a ruined rustic country house. The work has created a cozy holiday home divided into apartments, all characterized by high quality finishes such as travertine floors, large windows and LED lighting. The roof is made of wood for better energy efficiency. All the floors are connected by an elevator that also descends underground.
On the ground floor, the building opens with a reception area to welcome guests. From here one then has access to an apartment (living room, bedroom and bathroom) intended for the caretakers of the facility but which can also easily be used for guests. With independent access from the outside, one then has access to two more apartments (also consisting of a living room, bedroom and bathroom). From the entrance, a hallway houses the staircase leading to the upper floor and the basement level.
Going up to the first floor from the internal staircase, one reaches a central hallway that then gives access to four apartments (all composed of living room, bedroom and bathroom). On the eastern side of the farmhouse, an external staircase leads directly to the last apartment, which is totally independent and consists of a living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Descending underground, the staircase (or elevator) leads to a large hall for events (capable of accommodating up to 220 people at full capacity) and from here to the wellness center with whirlwind tub, Turkish bath, sensory showers and massage area.
Opposite the farmhouse is the property's restaurant, which consists of a large hall with a full-wall window opening onto the valley, service bathrooms and a large professional kitchen. A staircase then descends underground to the wine cellar.
Also next to the farmhouse is the owners' house (2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), laid over one level. The entrance door opens onto a spacious and bright living room with dining area and open kitchen. A hallway then leads to the sleeping area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The wine cellar, built underground in 2009 and also accessible via a ramp leading down from the entrance gate of the property, consists of large rooms for wine making, ageing and bottling of wines. The equipment in the cellar includes vitrified cement and stainless steel tanks, digital temperature control, oak barrels, barriques, terracotta jars and a bottling/packaging line.
