Property Description

Located in the beautiful countryside near Santa Fiora, a town mentioned in Dante's Divina Commedia, is the charming and renovated country estate known as "La Vecchia Fattoria". This child-friendly farmhouse, which was renovated in 2002, still retains its typical construction style and is surrounded by trees, providing a secluded and quiet position on top of a hill. The estate is ideal for families with children who can enjoy looking at the many animals including donkeys, geese, goats, and hens.

The estate is situated near many parks, woods, and places to swim, making it an excellent starting point for visiting archaeological sites like Pitigliano and the wine regions of Brunello Montalcino, Nobile di Montepulciano, and Morellino di Scansano. Large outside areas with shady places, hiking paths, and private ponds are available for guests to explore. The neighboring riding school offers night rides and a children's program, and airport transfers are available upon request for an additional fee.

The property is fenced and features a garden, an above-ground swimming pool, and a children's playground. Guests can also enjoy table tennis, an arbor, terrace, garden furniture, and a barbecue. The house itself includes a television, central heating system, and washing machine. Room cleaning, cook, and breakfast services are available upon request for an additional fee. Guests should be aware that there is a narrow motor access road of 100m leading to the property, and parking is available at the house. The estate is conveniently located only 1 km from the center of Santa Fiora and 35 km from Montalcino, with Terme di Saturnia and Terme di Bagno Vignoni both approximately 40 km away.

Guest Reviews for La Vecchia Fattoria

Excellent 5 /5

Das Ferienhaus "La Vecchia Fattoria" ist wirklich ein außergewöhnlicher Urlaubsort. Wir haben die 18 Tage dort sehr genossen. Es liegt abgeschieden und ruhig. Das Dorf ist gut zu Fuß ereichbar und bietetalles, was zum täglichen Leben nötig ist. Auf dem Grundstük hat man viel Platz und es bieten sich viele Möglichkeiten zu sitzen, zu spielen, sich auzuruhen und die Natur und den Garten zu genießen. Der Pool ist eine gute Abwechslung an heißen Tagen. Mir hatte es das muntere Plätschern des kleinen Brunnens angetan. Die Kinder liebten den engen Kontakt zu den vielen Tieren auf dem Gelände (Hund, Katze, Hase, Schafe, Ziegen, Pony, Enten, Gänse, Hühner). Der Kontakt zu der sehr freundlichen und hilfebereiten Vermieterin war vorzüglich und für uns eine große Bereicherung. Wir bekamen viele Tipps und in manchen Fällen auch ganz konkrete Hilfe. Das ganze Anwesen, vom Zugang über die Ausgestaltung bis zur Einrichtung ist sehr urig und uin manchen Punkten auch etwas improvisiert. Das ist sicher nicht für jeden etwas. Wir mochten es sehr!
Achtung: Der Anfashrtsweg mit dem Auto ist sehr eng und steil. Der Weg hoch zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad ins Dorf ebenso. Das hält fit!

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The holiday home "La Vecchia Fattoria" is truly an exceptional holiday destination. We really enjoyed the 18 days there. It is secluded and quiet. The village is within walking distance and offers everything needed for daily life. There is plenty of space on the property and there are many opportunities to sit, play, relax and enjoy nature and the garden. The pool is a good change on hot days. The children loved the close contact with the many animals on the site (dog, cat, rabbit, sheep, goats, pony, ducks, geese, chickens). The contact with the very friendly and helpful landlady was excellent and for us a great asset. We got lots of tips and in some cases very specific help.The whole property, from access to the design to the decor is very quaint and in some ways somewhat improvised. That's certainly not something for everyone. We really liked it!
Attention: The access road by car is very narrow and steep. The way up on foot or by bike to the village as well. That keeps you fit!

Presso la Vecchia Fattoria abbiamo vissuto un'atmosfera di "altri tempi" in un contesto naturale dove tutto aveva un sapore magico. I proprietari sono persone disponibili, squisite, presenti ma assolutamente non invadenti. Sono stati giorni indimenticabili. Grazie e a presto

Farmleben pur! Wir haben eine tolle Zeit inmitten all der Tiere, der wundervollen Landschaft, der reifen Feigen, Brombeeren, etc, nicht zu vergessen dem super Gemüsegarten von Sandro - unserem tollen und sehr hilfsbereiten Gastgeber- verbracht. Der Pool, der Tischkicker, das Trampolin und die Tischtennisplatte haben uns und unseren glücklichen Bauernhofkindern ( 2 familien mit 4 kindern 6+8 Jahre) die restliche Zeit so vertrieben, dass sie wie im Flug ( trotz zeitweise schlechten Wetter) verging. Danke an Sandro, Corinna und Niccolò fürs Ziegenmelken, Hühnerfüttern, die tollen Tipps, die geschenkten Marmeladengläser ( zum Einkochen der vielen Feigen, Pflaumen und Brombeeren).
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Mille Gazie
Die morgendlichen 20 minütigen Spaziergänge hoch ins Dorf zum Bäcker haben schöne Blicke eingebracht. Die erste Anfahrt war etwas schwer zu finden und unser Auto hätte nicht viel breiter sein dürfen, bei späteren Ausflugsfahrten waren wir jedoch gut eingespielt. Auch mit Fahrradträger ist es gerade noch möglich ( radeln aber noch für Bergfahrer möglich)

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Pure Farm Life! We had a great time amidst all the animals, the beautiful landscape, the ripe figs, blackberries, etc, not to mention the super vegetable garden by Sandro - our wonderful and very helpful host. The pool, table football, trampoline and table tennis have kept us and our happy farm children (2 families with 4 children 6+8 years) occupied for the remaining time so the time (despite sometimes poor weather) flew away. Thanks to Sandro, Corinna and Niccolò for milking goats, feeding chickens, the great tips, the glass jars (for preserving the many figs, plums and blackberries).
We have felt very comfortable. Mille Grazie
The 20 minute walk up to the village to the bakery in the morning gave us beautiful views. The first directions were somewhat hard to find and our car should not have been much broader but during our later excursions all worked out well. Even with a bike rack, it is just possible (to bike up only for cyclist with experience in the hills).
