N° 008 | Thirteenth Century Farm

Tuscany
users 20 bed 9 bath 5

A restored thirteenth-century farm in the heart of Tuscany

Connect with nature in a beautifully tranquil spot in a restored 13th-century farm beautifully transformed. Nestled inside an evergreen forest, it sits on an extinct volcano that was sacred to the Etruscans and overlooks the medieval walled town of Monteriggioni.

 The lifestyle of old Italy is preserved here in this unique spot. The wonderful owners have dedicated themselves to the organic farming of olive trees, vineyards, fruit, vegetables, and herbs, which are then used in preparing homemade vegetarian meals. 

The unique décor of the ten bedrooms in this traditional farmhouse is serene, with earthly colors and windows looking out onto the rolling hills of the Tuscan Countryside

This property is the ideal location to organize retreats, for example, yoga practice, meditation, exercise, artistic creation, or hands-on contact with nature in the fields. Their experience and network of quality instructors and therapists offer you personalized experiences to maximize restoration, healing, and growth.

Their philosophy is that food is the ultimate source of health and happiness. The food is prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, primarily the certified organic produce they grow on their own site. Over twenty years of travel and living by the mantra that ‘food is medicine’, their meals are a highlight for the guests: always rich in nutrients, organic and vegetarian. The menu varies depending on the season Mediterranean traditional flavors meet new creations in healthy, vibrant cooking.

The Space

The thick walls and terracotta tiles of the house keep guests cool in the summer and cozy in the winter, and the many windows let the lavender-scented breeze fill the rooms. There are ten uniquely-furnished rooms clustered around a spacious communal area containing a traditional fireplace. Although most rooms are doubles, there are options for singles and/or 3 triples. In the case of larger groups, they can offer additional double bedrooms nearby.

On the ground floor, there is a multi-purpose wooden floor activity room of 100m², which has an adjoining bathroom. There is also a massage room, as well as a wood-burning pizza oven.

Much of life is spent outdoors, often at the large communal tables under the shade of the pergolas, where you eat the meals prepared in the professional kitchen using their own organic produce. For a moment to oneself, there are plenty of chairs in the sun and hammocks in the shade, ideal for sunbathing, reading, or star-gazing. The south-exposed patio is well suited for sunrise and sunset sessions as well as celebrations or parties. The cool off in summer there is also a pool as well as a river nearby.
