| 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. |
