Siena Farmhouse with Apartments and Pool for rent
ANTICO ULIVETO ORGANIC FARMHOUSE in Siena Tuscany Italy

We are a Farmhouse
So what will you find here?
A pure and simple environment, warmth and the very best we can do to make your holiday as relaxing and interesting as possible. We've been running an organic farm since 1992: we were the first in this area and at the beginning everyone thought we were a little bit too idealistic, but we've continued doing what we believe in up to today, when "organic" has become all the rage and everybody claims to be into it. And our sense of hospitality is just the same: we don't want to be a hotel in the country, but to give our guests a chance to experience, as far as is still possible, family cozyness and the rhythm of the countryside.

We're situated in the very heart of the Chianti area, between the beautiful city of Siena and the famous medieval fortress of Monteriggioni. As everyone knows, our hillsides are one of a kind in the world and our countryside is breathtaking. If you want to visit the marvelous artistic centers in the area, ours is a strategic position: in 10 minutes you can reach Siena, in a quarter of an hour Monteriggioni, Castellina in Chianti and Colle val d’Elsa. San Gimignano, Asciano, San Galgano and Volterra are only half an hour away and Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Florence and Arezzo just an hour's drive from here.

And what will your stay with us be like?
Ours is a small farmhouse, so you'll always find lots of peace and quiet, as well as lots of attention to your needs. The reception is open in the morning and the afternoon, to help and advise you in planning your day. We have both rooms and apartments, so as to offer you the arrangement that best suits your needs. Our morning buffet is made up of sweets, biscuits, fruit cocktail, yogurt, butter and fruit preserves; the other meals are built around traditional Tuscan recipes, made especially tasty by our fresh garden produce, and almost always served with our homemade bread and our own wine...
