There are many levels of farm communities, hamlets, borgos and
agritourismi, but seldom do we come across a more inviting property.
Beautiful flowers, crisp white slipcovers covering comfy furniture,
mother and daughter run the property with love and offer lots of
hospitality. This property even offers a cooking school for adults and
a program for children as well. The location halfway between Florence
and Siena may help to seal the deal. Details below.
