A little history
The farmhouse was originally built at the beginning of the 13th Century. In fact, on restoring the old cellars of the Leopold structure, architectural finds, proving the existence of a landing port, were brought to light.
In fact, even though Valdichiana is now one of the most flourishing farming areas in our country, it was marshland until it was reclaimed during the 18th Century.
A second substantial change occurred in 1724, when, following on reclamation of Valdichiana (planned by Fossombroni), Duke Leopold of Tuscany (after whom the type of structure is named), issued a decree on farmhouse building canons establishing the existence of a cubic structure above the roof called a "Pigeon Loft" or "Dovecote".
The stables, farmyard animal stalls and barns date back to the early 19th Century. It was during this period that the first large families moved en masse to the hamlet. The family became completely self-sufficient.

Tuscany, steeped in tradition, offers visitors a variety of breathtaking itineraries of historic, artistic and cultural interest.. However, Tuscany is a destination also appreciated by those in search of the tranquillity of a unique natural environment, together with the discovery of wine, gastronomic and culinary pleasures that typical produce, festivals and folk festivities provide for the most refined palates. On mountain bikes made available by the guest farm, you can travel along the old Valdichiana roads and admire old farmhouses scattered among the Tuscan hills. It would be impossible here to go into all Tuscan itineraries.

The old stables restored host an exclusive Tuscan restaurant where you will have the opportunity to experience the delights of typical Tuscan cuisine, accompanied by some excellent Tuscan wines. In the warm summer evenings you will enjoy a dinner in the patio with fantastic views of the orchards and the Tuscan hills beyond.
